As Henry Winkler approaches his 79th birthday on October 30, 2024, he reflects on his life’s greatest joys. Beyond his illustrious Hollywood career, Winkler cherishes his role as a loving husband, father, and grandfather.
Married to Stacey Weitzman since 1978, Henry has built a strong family foundation. Together, they’ve raised three children: Max, Zoe, and Jed (Stacey’s son from a previous marriage). After 46 years, their love continues to flourish.
Henry’s grandchildren bring immense happiness to his life. India, Ace, Lulu, Jules, Gus, and Francis Joan are the six lucky kids who get to call him “Grandpa.” Another grandchild is on the way, making their family even more vibrant.
In an interview, Henry shared his thoughts on grandfatherhood: “It’s completely different from being a parent, yet shares similar feelings. Each grandchild is unique, requiring a distinct approach.” Currently, he’s enjoying six and a half grandchildren, with another bundle of joy arriving soon.
At home, Henry maintains simple yet essential house rules. “No yelling or fighting while the youngest grandchild sleeps,” he emphasizes. Additionally, each child takes responsibility for clearing their dishes, regardless of age.
Henry’s grandchildren are a diverse and lively bunch. Zoe’s three freckled, red-haired sons often appear in heartwarming family photos. Francis, Max’s 2-year-old daughter, brings endless joy with her curious nature.
To stay connected, Henry actively engages with his grandchildren on TikTok, creating dance videos and singing lighthearted songs. Music has become a special bonding experience, particularly with Francis.
Henry’s life is a beautiful blend of personal happiness and professional accomplishment. As a grandfather, he finds immense satisfaction in every moment spent with his family. Through song, dance, and quality time, Henry Winkler’s legacy extends far beyond Hollywood.
His story serves as a reminder that family is a treasure trove of love, laughter, and lessons. Henry’s journey as a grandfather showcases the importance of embracing life’s simple joys and creating lasting memories with those we cherish most.
