Does Danny Glover Have Kids? Meet Actor's Family, 2 Ex-Wives

Actor Danny Glover has his family by his side as he navigates an ongoing Alzheimer's battle.

"I can live with it in a sense," Glover said in a July 2026 interview on Today, going public with his diagnosis. "I'm sure as it advances, different things will be different and changing."

The actor, known for his roles in Lethal Weapon and Angels in the Outfield, told Lester Holt that he was diagnosed in 2022, months before he received an honorary Oscar.

Glover said that he "absolutely" has the full support of his family as they experience this new normal.

"They've got my back," he added.

Holt also spoke with Glover's daughter, Mandisa, who offered insight into her father's disease.

"I think it's really important for him to have control of his own narrative, of his own life story," she said. "That's really important. And the time is now. What better time but now for him to speak for himself?"

Mandisa added, "It's important because people ask questions sometimes, and I don't want to be a dishonest person and say, ‘Oh, yeah, everything is all right. It's all great.'"
