Who is Willie Garson's son, Nathen Garson?

Nathen Garson is the son of the late actor Willie Garson.

He was adopted in 2009 after Garson fulfilled his dream of becoming a father.

The actor told that he “always wanted to have a child,” so he decided to pursue adoption as a single parent.

“I had a long relationship off and on for like 20 years, and she never wanted to have a child, which is fine,” he said. 

“And it was like my mid-life crisis. Like, I really wanted a child more than anything else. And I got one and we’re partners, my kid and I.”

Nathen was a tennis player at the College of Wooster, where he majored in psychology with a minor in mathematics.

What did Nathen Garson say about Willie Garson’s death?

Amid the news of Garson’s death, Nathen posted a touching tribute on Instagram of his father, writing: “I love you so much papa.

“Rest In Peace and I’m so glad you got to share all your adventures with me and were able to accomplish so much. I’m so proud of you. 

“I will always love you, but I think it’s time for you to go on an adventure of your own. 

“You’ll always be with me. Love you more than you will ever know and I’m glad you can be at peace now. 

“You always were the toughest and funniest and smartest person I’ve known. I’m glad you shared you’re love with me. I’ll never forget it or lose it.”
