Grisly-bearded CNN host Wolf Blitzer can add a new title to his resumé: grandfather. Late last week, his daughter Ilana gave birth to a son named Ruben Daniel Snider.
CNN announced the birth yesterday, sharing with it an adorable photo of Blitzer holding his new grandson. Blitzer’s colleague Jake Tapper shared a screenshot of the segment with congratulations on Twitter.

Other media personalities were quick to pick up on the news. “Remember,” wrote Buzzfeed Business editor Tom Gara, retweeting Tapper, “‘Wolf Blitzer’ is an ancient hereditary title, not a name. One day this child will become the Wolf Blitzer.”
We can only hope he’s right. Mazel Tov!

I hope you appreciated this article. Before you go, I’d like to ask you to please support the Forward’s award-winning journalism this Passover.
In this age of misinformation, our work is needed like never before. We report on the news that matters most to American Jews, driven by truth, not ideology.
At a time when newsrooms are closing or cutting back, the Forward has removed its paywall. That means for the first time in our 126-year history, Forward journalism is free to everyone, everywhere. With an ongoing war, rising antisemitism, and a flood of disinformation that may affect the upcoming election, we believe that free and open access to Jewish journalism is imperative.
Readers like you make it all possible. Right now, we’re in the middle of our Passover Pledge Drive and we need 500 people to step up and make a gift to sustain our trustworthy, independent journalism.
