Marlow Cross, born on February 15, 2017, is the offspring of renowned media personalities, Amber Tamblyn and David Cross. Her astrological sign is Aquarius, and her birthstone is Amethyst.
Being the daughter of a comedian, her father humorously announced her birth on Instagram, referring to her as a “55-year-old furrier from Crown Heights,” adding a touch of hilarity to the announcement. Marlow’s mother also joined in the fun, posting a video of her daughter’s foot with a whimsical caption, playfully dubbing her as “Dauphinoise Petunia Brittany Scheherazade Von Funkinstein Mustard Witch RBG Cross Tamblyn-Bey jr.” She even jestingly mentioned Marlow “growing her payos out nicely,” alongside a picture.
It was only a few weeks later that her real name was revealed through a letter signed by none other than Hillary Clinton herself. In the heartfelt message, Clinton expressed joy over Marlow’s birth and conveyed wishes for a lifetime filled with adventures, love, friendship, learning, and accomplishments.
