    Danielle Brooks' daughter accidentally lost and swallowed a tooth

    The 36-year-old actress said that the tooth fairy still gifted Freeya, six, some money.


    Danielle told People: "She lost her third tooth and she swallowed it on accident. This tooth fairy still showed up."

    The A Minecraft Movie star then quipped: "She came. Yeah. She flew in literally on a plane and made sure she had her money."

    Danielle - who has Freeya with her husband Dennis Gelin - previously said that the youngster has qualities similar to those of 44-year-old singer Beyonce.

    In October 2025, the publication asked the Peacemaker actress if Freeya had started dance lessons, to which Danielle replied: "She takes dance, which is like tap and ballet, and I gotta see her perform.

    "My daughter performed, and she was like Beyonce, because she kind of found herself stepping in front of everybody, and so she really had her own Beyonce moment. It was really cute.

    "Diva in training."

    In July 2019, Danielle and Dennis - who met during a game night she hosted in New York - announced they were expecting Freeya, and they welcomed her into the world four months later.

    The Orange is the New Black alum - who got engaged to her spouse on New Year's Eve in December 2019 - previously got candid about her experience of having a child.

    In a cover story for Parents magazine's May 2021 issue, Danielle - who married Dennis at the historic Alfred DuPont Building in Miami, Florida, in January 2022 - said that it "really did take a toll on my body and on me mentally".

    She added: "I gained a lot of weight during my pregnancy, and I think I did go through postpartum depression.

    "I was trying to stay positive when it felt like my whole world had flipped upside down. Creating a human takes a toll on women's bodies. Sometimes we don't give ourselves enough love or patience about that.

    "You may think you're going to bounce back miraculously, but that's not true for a lot of people. I'm one of them. While I want to return to my pre-baby size, at the same time, I want to love this skin that I'm in now."
