Picture this: Danny DeVito, the beloved actor known for his iconic roles and larger-than-life personality, is moments away from stepping onto the Broadway stage. Yet, thirty minutes before curtain call, an unexpected announcement from his daughter Lucy, who shares the stage with him, brings him to tears.
On a Monday night episode of The Talk, Danny DeVito shared a deeply personal moment that unfolded right before a Broadway performance. The 80-year-old actor was preparing for their play ‘I Need That’ with his 41-year-old daughter, Lucy. As they sat in their usual pre-show spot, Lucy with her cup of tea, she dropped life-changing news. “Dad, I got something to tell you. I’m pregnant,” she revealed. The news hit Danny so profoundly that he burst into tears.
Lucy DeVito’s pregnancy had been confirmed by February, and by July, she welcomed baby Carmine with her fiancé.

In the realm of family milestones, the DeVito family seems to be experiencing a particularly significant chapter. Danny DeVito, who now wears the proud badge of ‘Pop-Pop,’ takes great delight in his role as a grandfather. Carmine isn’t alone; he joins his cousin Sinclair Lucille DeVito, Lucy’s niece, in enjoying the love of their famous grandfather.
Rhea Perlman, Danny’s partner, equally revels in the joys of becoming a grandparent. Reflecting on her experience, she shared how having grandchildren has added a new dimension to her life, comparing the profound love she feels for them to the moment she first became a mother herself.
This heartwarming tale of Danny and Lucy DeVito underscores the magic of family moments that transcend the stage.
