starred on the FX comedy “It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia” from 2007 to 2023. DeVito, now 80, continues to work, but says family is a top priority for him.“In two years, my daughters have had a baby each and since these babies have been born you’ve got to tamper me down in the joy department, I’m just like busting,” he told AARP. “There’s that saying ‘A watched pot never boils,’ so I apply that to my kids … I’ll look at them all the time, because I don’t want them to boil, I want them to take their time and grow.

I tell my kids that, too. Don’t miss a thing. Don’t look away because when you look back that kid’s going to be hula-hooping.” DeVito shares two daughters, Lucy, 41, and Grace, 39, and one son, Jacob, 37, with “Cheers” star Rhea Perlman.The couple, now separated, first met in 1971.

Perlman had a recurring role as DeVito’s girlfriend on “Taxi,” and the pair also starred in “Matilda” together. Most recently, DeVito worked with his daughter Lucy in the movie “A Sudden Case of Christmas.” “It was basically a story that your whole family can watch and my family’s in it,” he told AARP.
