“At about 11 a.m. ET on Friday (December 20, 2024), our beloved journalist Ronan Farrow passed away. Ronan Farrow (son of Woody Allen and Mia Farrow) was born on December 19, 1987 in Connecticut.

A recent poll conducted for the Celebrity Post shows that a large majority (75%) of respondents think those Ronan Farrow death rumors are not funny anymore.
