Rob Delaney Says He 'Loves' to Talk About His Late Toddler Son as He Opens Up About 'Nightmare' of His Death

Rob Delaney says he still "loves" to talk about his 2½-year-old son Henry after he died in 2018, calling the tragedy a "nightmare." The actor's son died in January 2018 from cancer.

The actor, 47, appeared on a Monday, July 22 episode of Today with Hoda & Jenna and spoke about his son Henry, who died in January 2018 from cancer. "But his frontal lobe was fine so he was very funny and smart and charming and gorgeous and flirty and silly and brilliant," the proud dad continues. He was smart, funny, and mischievous and we had so many wonderful adventures together, particularly after he’d moved home following 15 months living in hospitals,” continued Delaney, saying that even though Henry’s “tumor and surgery left him with significant physical disabilities” his son had “quickly learned sign language and developed his own method of getting from A to B shuffling on his beautiful little bum.”
