Leah Remini’s Daughter Is All Grown Up And Stunning

Leah Remini and Angelo Pagán raised their daughter, Sofia Bella Pagán, to believe that anything is possible. The way they speak about her indicates how important she is to them, so it should come as little surprise that Remini feels her daughter is capable of great things. In an interview with People in 2022, the actor referred to Sofia as “the strong-minded kid … who, hopefully, is going to make some positive change in the world.”

“I’m always saying to her and her friends, ‘I hope you are going to take all this genius and get your a**es into Congress,’” Remini shared. “That’s how you’re going to change things.” Her daughter’s life and the opportunities given to her are vastly different from Remini’s childhood. As the TV star shared on Instagram in 2022, she’d started working when she was still a kid and dropped out of school around age 13. “I had been living the life of an adult for years even though I was just a kid,” she wrote. 

Even if Sofia doesn’t choose a career in politics or incite change, she has forever changed her mama. “My Bella, you are the one thing I got right,” Remini wrote in a September 2021 Instagram post. “Thank you for making me a mom to a strong, smart, loving, compassionate, insightful, funny, beautiful, sassy (heavy on the sass), and outspoken, daughter. I couldn’t be prouder of the person you are.”
