Comedian Jay Leno and his wife, Mavis Leno, stepped out for a special evening at the Los Angeles premiere of Unfrosted. This marks their first public appearance since revealing Mavis’s dementia diagnosis.
The couple, who have been married for over four decades, were in good spirits as they spoke to Entertainment Tonight on the red carpet.
Mavis expressed her positive outlook and stated, “I feel great,” during the interview.
The movie’s premiere, directed by Jerry Seinfeld, provided a much-needed opportunity for entertainment, according to Leno. “Thought I’d come to something fun for a change,” he said. “Everything is so controversial. Just to come to a funny, silly movie ― it’s great. I think people will have a great time.”
The Lenos’ public outing comes as they privately navigate Mavis’s health challenges. In January, Leno filed for a conservatorship of their joint estate and cited his wife’s cognitive decline.
