Early Life and Family Background
Delilah Dattilo was born on June 11, 2014, in Los Angeles, California, to veteran soap actor Bryan Dattilo (born July 29, 1971) and his wife, Elizabeth Cameron (married July 12, 2011). As their only child together, Delilah shares her home with a blended clan that includes half‑brother Gabriel (born December 16, 1999) and an extended roster of uncles and aunts—among them actress Kristin Dattilo.
| Family Member | Relation | Birth Date | Notable Role / Fact |
|---|---|---|---|
| Delilah Dattilo | Self | June 11, 2014 | Debuted on General Hospital (Nov 2024) |
| Bryan Dattilo | Father | July 29, 1971 | Lucas Horton on Days of Our Lives since 1993 |

At just ten years old, Delilah grew up in a household steeped in daytime drama lore. Her father’s consistent presence on Days of Our Lives laid the groundwork for her early exposure to sets, scripts, and stunt rehearsals (he holds black belts in Shotokan Karate and Taekwondo). Meanwhile, aunt Kristin’s television and music‑video credits offered additional inspiration. Family dinners likely feature lively debates over who delivered the best soap monologue, though Delilah’s favorite topic may still be playground antics over plot twists.

Future Prospects and What’s Next
At 11 years old, Delilah navigates a dual existence: classroom arts and crafts by day, budding actress by twilight. Industry insiders whisper about potential arcs—perhaps a recurring guest spot on Days of Our Lives in 2026, or a crossover role alongside cousin Alexander Gabriel Dattilo (Gabriel’s son).
Projected timeline:
- Late 2025: Possible audition notices for a child‑actor guest role on primetime family dramas.
