A Star is Born on Christmas Eve
Some arrivals feel like they’re straight out of a storybook. For actress Christy Carlson Romano and her husband Brendan Rooney, that story began on a magical Christmas Eve.
On December 24, 2016, the world got a little brighter with the birth of their daughter, Isabella Victoria Rooney. She wasn’t just a new baby, but a Christmas miracle for her overjoyed parents.
A Legacy of Talent: Her Famous Parents
Isabella was born into a family with deep roots in the entertainment world, a legacy she inherits from both her talented parents.
Christy Carlson Romano: A Disney Generation’s Icon
Many of us know her mom, Christy Carlson Romano, as the face of a Disney generation. From her unforgettable role as Ren Stevens in Even Stevens to voicing the unstoppable Kim Possible, Christy has been a household name for years.
Her journey from a beloved child star to a versatile actress and dedicated mother has been nothing short of inspiring.
Brendan Rooney: A Journey from Marine to Moviemaker
But Isabella’s dad, Brendan Rooney, has a story that’s just as impressive. A former U.S. Marine, he transitioned from serving his country to telling stories as a film producer.
His path eventually led him to Christy, and together, they’ve built a life grounded in love and shared ambition.
Growing Up Rooney
While life in the spotlight can be demanding, Isabella’s parents have made it their mission to create a normal, happy childhood for her and her sister.
The Joy of Sisterhood
Life got even more exciting in 2019 when Isabella became a big sister. She welcomed her younger sister, Sophia Elizabeth, and has beautifully stepped into the role of a loving, doting sibling.
The sweet bond the two girls share is a frequent and heartwarming feature on their parents’ social media.
Swapping Hollywood for Austin
To keep life as normal as possible, the family made a big decision. They traded the hustle and bustle of Hollywood for a calmer pace.
Packing up their LA life, they settled in Austin, Texas. This move gave the girls a chance to grow up away from the constant glare of the spotlight.
A Future Full of Promise
With so much talent in the family, you have to wonder: will Isabella follow in her parents’ footsteps? She’s already dipped her toes in the entertainment world with small appearances.
For now, her parents are focused on letting her just be a kid. Her personal Instagram, managed by them, shows a happy girl enjoying life.
