Jay Leno’s attorney provided an update on Mavis Leno’s health, revealing the worsening of her Alzheimer’s diagnosis. The decision to seek conservatorship for her estate stemmed from this diagnosis. According to People magazine, legal filings disclosed Mavis’s struggles: “sometimes does not know her husband” and faces disorientation, yet retains her “delightful” personality. Despite memory loss, their marriage remains “long-term, loving and supportive,” with Jay serving as her protector. Notably, Mavis’s neurologist praised Jay for his kindness towards her.

A month prior, Jay mentioned their 44-year marriage in an interview with Piers Morgan. TMZ spotted the couple together in Hollywood shortly after the conservatorship filing, where Jay had a comedy show.

This move reflects Jay’s role as Mavis’s caregiver amid her Alzheimer’s battle, marked by the conservatorship filing on January 26 after decades of marriage.
