Arthur “Fonzie” Fonzarelli may have lived by his own code of cool, but when the legendary Henry Winkler welcomes his grandchildren into his home, there are still a few simple ground rules everyone respects.
The beloved Happy Days icon, now 80, has traded leather jackets for story time, and the role he clearly treasures most today is being “Papa” to his growing family.
‘Phenomenal’ family
Henry Winkler, who was 29 when he first captured the hearts of audiences in 1974 as the effortlessly charismatic Fonzie, has built a life that extends far beyond television fame. Over the years, he has created a close-knit family with his wife Stacey Weitzman, whom he married in May 1978.
Together, they raised their children Max, 42, and Zoe, 46, along with Stacey’s son Jed, 55, from a previous marriage.
Today, that family has grown even larger, with Winkler proudly embracing life as a grandfather of seven: India, Ace, Lulu, Jules, Gus, Francis Joan, and the newest arrival, welcomed in 2024 by his son Max and daughter-in-law Jessica Barden.
“We have [seven] phenomenal grandchildren, and they add so much to your life,” Winkler said.
