Henry Winkler, 79, Becomes a Grandpa for the 7th Time — Welcomes Second Grandchild from Son Max and Daughter-in-Law Jessica! 🎉🥰
It’s time to say “congratulations” to Henry Winkler, who has just added another grandchild to his ever-growing family! The 79-year-old Happy Days legend, known to millions for his unforgettable role as The Fonz, is now officially a grandfather for the 7th time! 🎉👴
The joyous news comes as his son Max Winkler and daughter-in-law Jessica Barden have welcomed their second baby into the world. The couple, already parents to one child, are over the moon as they expand their family, making Henry a proud grandparent once again! The newborn joins the six other grandkids Henry already dotes on, making him one of the happiest—and most loved—grandfathers out there. 🍼💕
Max and Jessica, both accomplished in their own right (Max is a director and writer, while Jessica is known for her acting roles in films like The End of the F**ing World*), have been sharing glimpses of their new bundle of joy with their families, and it’s clear that Henry couldn’t be more thrilled. In fact, it’s no surprise that the Happy Days star, who’s always been known for his kindness and joyful nature, is embracing this new chapter of his life with nothing but love and excitement.
This isn’t the first time Henry has publicly shared how much being a grandparent means to him. He has previously spoken about the incredible joy he finds in spending time with his grandchildren and how they bring so much meaning to his life. In interviews, he’s often said that his role as a grandparent has been one of the most fulfilling and rewarding parts of his life, far beyond his legendary Hollywood career. He’s become known as not just a doting grandfather but also as a wise and fun-loving elder in the family who always knows how to bring smiles and laughter.
Despite his busy career—which continues to thrive even in his late 70s—Henry remains incredibly grounded and dedicated to his family. He’s not just a famous face from TV, but a man who truly understands the importance of love and connection. Whether it’s sharing stories, enjoying quiet moments, or showing up for big family milestones, Henry is the ultimate family man.
Of course, the Winkler family has always been close-knit. Henry’s wife, Stacey Weitzman, has been by his side for decades, and the couple raised their children, including Max, with love, support, and a strong sense of family values. Now, Henry gets to pass down that same legacy to his grandchildren, and it’s clear he’s enjoying every moment of it.
The new addition is especially significant as Henry’s family has grown in recent years. From his work on Barry to his appearances in popular films and shows, Henry remains a fixture in Hollywood. But despite his busy schedule, he always makes time for family—and his love for his grandchildren shines through in every moment.
While many fans know Henry for his iconic portrayal of The Fonz, the actor’s personal life tells a different, but equally endearing story. He’s been open about the challenges he faced in his own childhood, and now, as a father and grandfather, he enjoys the opportunity to pass down the lessons and values he holds dear. From telling his grandkids stories to sharing wisdom, Henry is living proof that age only makes the heart grow fonder, and he’s in the business of creating lifelong memories for his family.
As he celebrates becoming a grandfather for the 7th time, it’s clear that for Henry, this is one of life’s most cherished gifts. Whether he’s filming in Hollywood or simply spending time with his loved ones, Henry Winkler knows the true meaning of happiness—and it’s found in family.
So, here’s to seven grandchildren and counting! We’re sure Henry’s family is in for many more years of love, laughter, and unforgettable moments with their one-of-a-kind grandpa. 🥳❤️👶
