Lady Gaga‘s grandmother, Angelina Calderone Germanotta, has died … TMZ has learned.
Angelina — the mother of Gaga’s dad, Joe Germanotta — passed away on October 12, just days shy of her 95th birthday. A funeral for Angelina was held on October 17 in Pompton Plains, New Jersey.
Angelina was the matriarch of the Germanotta family and had a special bond with her superstar granddaughter. In fact, Gaga’s full name — Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta — carries part of her late grandmother’s name, a touching tribute Gaga has often said connects her to her family’s legacy and Italian roots.
Back in 2021, when Gaga’s two French bulldogs were kidnapped in a Hollywood ambush that left her dog walker critically injured, Angelina spoke to the New York Daily News, showing the world her strength and empathy.
“It’s a cruel world we’re living in,” she said at the time. “I’m praying this young man recovers, and I hope the dogs are found safe and in good health. The family is devastated. It’s very, very sad that we’re living in a world where this can happen.”
Lady Gaga has not yet commented publicly on her grandmother’s passing. We reached out to her rep … so far, no word back.
Angelina was 94.
RIP
