In an interview with "PEOPLE Now" in 2018, the 75-year-old described how much she enjoyed having Gia and Leyla present during holidays, even if they end up making a fool of her. She said:

"I will let them make a fool of me on holidays. Anytime they come to my house, they take my jewelry, they play, they break things, and I thought I would have a fit. I don't mind. I let the kids get away with things I would never let anybody else."

Gia and Leyla are the children of Patti LaBelle's son, Zuri Edwards, who she had with her ex-husband, Armstead Edwards.

There was a reunion of sorts for the family, when Patti, Armstead, Zuri, and his wife Lona, along with their daughters, Gia and Leyla, gathered together as a family.

The reunion was in honor of Armstead's birthday, as revealed in an Instagram post made by Gia, where she shared a photo of herself, her sister, mother, grandmother, and grandfather.

In the caption, Gia wished her grandpa a happy birthday, adding that she loves her beautiful grandparents.

Gia and Leyla do make for a delightful bunch, and their grandma, Patti LaBelle, is their biggest fan.
