Drea de Matteo is used to being the woman people recognise. In November 2026, she was happy to turn the attention towards someone else: her daughter, and a first sculpture that left her marvelling at the details.

In a 10 November 2026 Instagram post, the actress shared what she described as “My daughter’s first sculpture ever”. Her caption was full of affectionate disbelief, joking that she had suspected her daughter was an alien and now had confirmation.

It was the scale that particularly caught her eye. The sculpture, she explained, was only a foot tall, yet the clothing had been worked in miniature. She marvelled at “all those tiny details on her clothing”, before playfully comparing the mystery of making it to the building of the pyramids.

The emojis did some of the talking too: laughter, a starry-eyed face and a flying saucer. It made for an exuberant little glimpse of family life, with Drea enjoying the chance to be the impressed admirer.

Her own admirers know her as Adriana La Cerva from The Sopranos. In her 27 February 2026 PEOPLE interview, when she was reported as 54, she discussed her OnlyFans work and said many of her followers were fans of the series.

“I still get recognized every single day,” she told the magazine. On this occasion, though, her Instagram update offered a different pleasure: a familiar face letting her followers see what had caught her attention.
