Tony Todd<\/strong>, an icon of the horror genre, passed away at the age of 69 last week, as confirmed by his manager in a statement released on Saturday morning.<\/p>\n

Jeffrey Goldberg<\/strong>, who described the actor as his \u201cdear friend and client of 30 years,\u201d shared the heartbreaking news, while adding, \u201cI am lucky to have been able to work with this amazing man, and I will miss him every single day.\u201d<\/p>\n

As people reflect on Todd\u2019s remarkable career and his life, here\u2019s a closer look at his family, who have largely remained out of the spotlight.<\/p>\n

Was Todd Married?<\/h2>\n

Todd was reportedly married to a woman named\u00a0Fatima<\/strong>, though details about their relationship remain limited.\u00a0She did, however, confirm to The Hollywood Reporter<\/em> that Todd passed away at their home in Marina del Rey on November 6 following a \u201clong illness.\u201d<\/p>\n

In addition to his wife, he is survived by two grown children,\u00a0Alexander Paxton Todd<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0Ariana Todd<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Who Are Todd\u2019s Kids<\/h2>\n

Similar to his wife, not much is known about Todd\u2019s children, as he kept their lives private, sharing only occasional posts on social media where he would express his love and pride for them.<\/p>\n

\n<\/blockquote>\n

In a January 10, 2021, Instagram<\/a> post, Todd wrote, \u201cCheers to my gracious daughter. Hope you had a beautiful 30th birthday. Love.\u201d This indicates his daughter is 33 years old this year. He also shared<\/a> that she is an occupational therapist, \u201cteaching smiles\u201d to preschoolers.<\/p>\n

\n<\/blockquote>\n

In another post, he proudly mentioned that his daughter got engaged to her partner, Shawn<\/strong>, at the beginning of 2022.<\/p>\n

\n<\/blockquote>\n

As for his oldest child, Alex, in a post<\/a> from June 26, 2020, Todd revealed that his son had been diagnosed with bipolar disorder. Todd wrote, \u201cHe\u2019s suffered from bi-polar disorder for years. What kind of system is it where parental power is lost once a child turns 21. They have to decide. They have to be willing to ask for help. Stay on medication. I LOVE Alex so much. My heart hurts.\u201d Todd also shared that, due to COVID protocols, he was unable to visit him at the time and concluded, \u201cAlex if u see this.\u201d<\/p>\n

What Projects Did Todd Work On?<\/h2>\n

Todd began his acting career in the mid-1980s and maintained a steady presence in both film and television. His TV credits include roles in\u00a0Simon & Simon<\/em>,\u00a021 Jump Street<\/em>,\u00a0MacGyver<\/em>,\u00a0The X-Files<\/em>,\u00a0Star Trek: Deep Space Nine<\/em>,\u00a0Smallville<\/em>,\u00a0Crossing Jordan<\/em>,\u00a0CSI: Miami<\/em>,\u00a0Boston Public<\/em>,\u00a0Without a Trace<\/em>, and\u00a0Hawaii Five-O<\/em>.<\/p>\n
