Ava Marie Jean Wayans tops a unique spot in her family. She is the first grandchild of rap icon Rev Run and one of the eight grandkids of legendary comedian Damon Wayans. Meet the beautiful, sweet young lady.
Reality TV star and rapper Rev Run began influencing the entertainment industry at a young age. Conversely, Damon Wayans made history in the movie scenes through comedy.
These legends never knew they would have something that would connect them, asides from their craft. However, in 2014, Rev Run's daughter Vanessa Simmons, and Damon's son Mike Wayans, announced that they were expecting a child.

It was not easy for Simmons, who felt nervous breaking the news to her folks because she was not married to Mike. Marriage or not, the Simmons stood by her and showed support for their girl who safely births a healthy and adorable baby named Ava Marie Jean Wayans.
The Wayans were present to shower the new mom with lots of love and kind words. After the baby announcement, neither family commented about it, but Damon sounded excited and confessed that he felt blessed during a Q&A Tweet session shortly after Ava's birth.

After welcoming Ava, the mother of one revealed that she had a baby shopping addiction and loved to spend time with the tiny princess. She added that motherhood was a miracle and that it taught her a few life lessons, such as faith and confidence.
