Jay Leno Takes Heartbreaking Decision for His Wife Mavis
Mavis Leno’s lawyer has shared new information about her client, Jay Leno.
More details are becoming public two months after she asked to be in charge of Mavis’s estate to make sure she “managed assets” if Jay died before her.
After being told she has Alzheimer’s, Mavis decided to file for care. Now, a new document from Jay’s lawyers shows that Mavis’s condition has gotten worse.
People got a hold of a new document that says Mavis “sometimes does not know her husband, Jay, nor her date of birth.” The document also said that Mavis “has a lot of disorientation, will ruminate about her parents who have both passed and her mother who died about 20 years ago.”
While Mavis is having a hard time with her health, the filing says she is still a “delightful person” with a “charming personality.”
According to the file, Mavis and Jay have been married for 44 years and that their marriage is still “long-term, loving, and supportive,” even though Mavis has memory loss. Jay is still “her protector, and she trusts him.”
Jay Leno has filed for conservatorship over his wife Mavis, who has been diagnosed with Alzheimer's.

There is also a quote in the filing from Mavis’s neurologist saying that Jay is “such a nice man and treats [Mavis] like gold.”
People says that the filing also says that Mavis “does not object” and “consents” to the custody.
In an interview with Piers Morgan a month before he asked to be in charge of his wife’s estate, Jay Leno talked about being married to Mavis for 44 years.
TMZ also said that the husband and wife were seen out in Hollywood last night, just days after their case was filed for custody. Jay had to put on a comedy show, and Mavis was right there with him.
As the person who takes care of his wife, Jay Leno has had to do some very sad things.
TMZ says that Mavis has been fighting Alzheimer’s disease. That’s why, on Friday, January 26, Leno asked for control over his 44-year-old wife.
TMZ says that Leno has asked for primary care for his wife because of her illness. Mavis can’t take care of herself by herself any longer. Really breaks my heart.
Mavis has a disease that causes “a slow decline in memory, thinking and reasoning skills.” The couple has not yet talked about it in public. We are thinking about Jay and Mavis, though, as they go through this hard time.
Jay Leno and Mavis Leno have been together for 44 years and love each other very much. The funny man and generous person has chosen not to have children for 44 years.
Some people may find that reason strange. In an interview with The Washington Post in 2014, Mavis said that she is the only reason she and Jay don’t have children.
It was her own admission that what she saw on the TV show The Honeymooners made her decide not to have a child. She said, “I would see a young woman who was very attractive and a thousand times smarter, and she’s living in this little tenement hovel with her husband, Ralph, and then this Ed Norton, who has an even hotter wife,” she said.
The 1955 sitcom Mavis was about Ralph, Alice, their friend Ed, and Trixie. It followed their lives “as they get involved with various schemes in their day-to-day living.” In her words, Mavis said that some of the things she heard on that show made her decide she would never have children.
“These men spend all their time talking about what a drag the wives are and asking how can they get away from them. It’s perfectly obvious the women are the ones trapped,” Mavis said. She remembers telling her telling her mom when she was little that she has no plans to have children of her own.
“I remember telling my mother when I was 7 or 8 that I was never going to get married or have children,” continued Mavis. “To me, this is the way women get caught.”
As it turned out, Jay accepted Mavis’ choice not to have children after falling in love with her and making their own way as a power couple. Have you ever watched a show that changed your life this much?
Mavis seems to think she’s very lucky to have found such a good man in Jay who respected her choice. After meeting Jay, whom she calls “the single kindest human being I ever met,” Mavis changed her mind about getting married.
Not long ago, Jay Leno talked about how he felt about Will Smith hitting Chris Rock at the Oscars. Even though the slap wasn’t necessary, Leno says he can see why the person did it. Will did hit Rock, but Leno is worried about his choice to keep yelling at him after he had a moment to calm down.
“To me, the thing that’s most disturbing wasn’t the slap, because he was kind of smirking after he slapped [Rock],” Leno told the Palm Beach Daily News on Friday. “It was the yelling of the obscenities. Then you go, ‘Whoa. What’s going on here?’ This is real anger.”
