Jay Leno Shares Update on Wife Mavis Leno Amid Her Dementia Battle | E! News

Jay Leno shares insight into his caregiving journey. The former late night host opens up about taking care of his wife Mavis after she was diagnosed with advanced dementia in 2024. The 75-year-old tells People magazine in a new interview, “I’ve been very lucky in my life. My wife is fighting dementia and all that, but it’s not cancer. It’s not a tumor, so I enjoy taking care of her.” He adds, “It’s not work because people come up and say they feel so sorry. I understand the sympathy because I know a lot of people are going through it, but it’s okay. I like taking care of her. I enjoy her company and we have a good time. We have fun with it and it is what it is. Jay says of Mavis, who he married in 1980, there are going to be a couple of years that are tricky. So, the first 46 really great, but it’s okay. It’s not terrible. I’m not a woe is me person. I’m just lucky that I am able to take care of her. The comedian was granted conservatorship over his wife’s estate in 2024. At the time, People magazine reported that a lawyer for Mavis said she was in agreement with the legal arrangement and is receiving excellent care with her husband, Mr. Leno. [Music]
