As he marks his 79th birthday on October 30, 2024, the legendary Henry Winkler continues to leave a lasting legacy in Hollywood while excelling as a devoted husband, father, and grandfather. Winkler has openly expressed his joy in being a grandparent, embracing the role with warmth and enthusiasm. Heartwarming photos capture the special bond he shares with his grandchildren, each displaying their unique traits.

Throughout his illustrious career, Henry has not only achieved iconic status in entertainment but has also cultivated a nurturing family life. He wed Stacey Weitzman in May 1978, and together, they have raised their two children, Max and Zoe Winkler, along with Stacey’s son from a previous marriage, Jed Weitzman.

Now married for 46 years, Henry and Stacey take immense pride in their role as grandparents, finding joy in this new phase of their lives. The couple is blessed with six grandchildren—India, Ace, Lulu, Jules, Gus, and Francis Joan—with another on the way. In interviews, the “Happy Days” star has spoken fondly about the happiness and fulfillment he derives from being a grandfather.

“It’s a completely different experience from being a parent, but it’s filled with the same emotions. We currently have six and three-quarters grandchildren. Each one is unique, requiring a distinct approach,” he shared.

Despite their individual personalities, Henry maintains consistent household rules when his grandkids visit. He emphasized that, although the rules are few, they remain unchanged.

“When the youngest granddaughter is sleeping, there is no fighting or yelling. The older ones are responsible for keeping the noise down. Regardless of their age, from 14 to 7, they all have to clear their dishes,” explained the New York native.
