Jay Leno Was Asked If He’d Get a Girlfriend Amid Wife’s Dementia Battle | E! News
Jay Leno detailed the surprising comments he’s received while caring for his wife, Mavis Leno, amid her battle with advanced dementia. During a candid conversation with Maria Shriver on ‘Life Above the Noise,’ the former ‘Tonight Show’ host revealed that some people questioned his commitment to his marriage during this difficult time. “My favorite thing was—this is the most Hollywood thing,” Jay recalled. “A guy said to me, ‘So, are you gonna get a girlfriend now?’” Jay responded firmly, “‘Well no, I have a girlfriend. I’m married. Married 45 years.’” Emphasizing his devotion, he added, “No, we’re kinda in this together here.” Jay reflected on the vows he made, saying, “You take a vow when you get married and people are stunned—they’re so shocked that you live up to it. Why?” The comedian, who married Mavis in 1980, filed for conservatorship over her assets in January 2024, which was officially granted that April. Despite the challenges, Jay expressed gratitude, calling this chapter the greatest test of his life: “This is where it gets a little tricky.” Full Story: https://www.eonline.com/news/1427349/jay-leno-on-dating-amid-wifes-dementia-battle

Its refreshing to see a man hold onto the truth of his wedding vows!!!🙏🏼🙏🏼🥰🥰🥰
The person who asked that has $hit for brains. What? You can't think past the
pu$$y? My husband and I have amazing physical chemistry but I could never replace him like that. In sickness and in health means something. I've always loved Jay. I'm glad he takes his vows seriously too
The person who asked that question is a twisted warped person that likely has no decent solid relationships with family, friends, coworkers, and no empathy, respect or consideration for anyone or anything.
There's a saying ! Some people say I love you ! And others show it. I work at an assisted living facility. I see a man come 3 times a week to see his wife of 18 years who forgot him because she has dementia. He takes care of her every time and stays for hours before he leaves. He comes at the same time and the same days consistently for the last 6 years. I talk to him , and he Loves her dearly. I asked him why not find someone else for now. He responded because they are not her, she has his heart. Some people say they love you and when things get tough they leave . Others say it and show it when they have every reason to leave.
Prayers for him and his wife!
That was a stupid question to be asked
Till death through sickness
❤❤
JAY LENO ❤
How can a person be so rude, what kind of a question is that, mind your own business. His wife isn't dead, he is a kind man taking care of her she is not a doll that he can just put in a corner and forget about her. This person who asked this insensitive question, you lady need to go back and study harder in how and what questions to ask or not, I will give that reporter or whoever she is, a thumb down 👎. Rude
Jan, you got this 👍, you know what true love. ❤🙇♀️🙏☝️ prayers for you both. Men as you are rare.
GET JOB, VERY PROUD OF YA !!! GOD BLESS HER !!! I WAS ON YOUR SHOW 1996 !!!
The interviewer has the real dementia.
I love this… jay I’m glad you take your vows seriously ❤
Jay is an honerable man.
What a gross thing to ask someone!! He was nicer about it than I would have been. May God be with him and his wife in this difficult time.
Crazy question ❓😮
Love you Jay 💖!!! You are a wonderful husband!!!
Decency is a seldom seen virtue. Most Especially among the sanctimonious these days.
Leno shows character, decency and loyalty. Not a Christian here but this man is a true fine example.
The person that asked that question is horrible and should be ashamed of themselves 😠
Talk about growing on each other… they look alike
A REAL HUMAN MAN
