Tatum O’Neal, the youngest-ever Oscar winner, captured hearts once again as she walked with a cane at her son Kevin McEnroe’s wedding, a moment that moved fans deeply.
The ceremony took place in Calistoga, California, and was filled with laughter, emotion, and resilience.
Despite suffering a stroke in 2020 after a nearly fatal overdose, the 61-year-old actress appeared glowing and proud, sharing tender moments with Kevin and his bride, Fern Cozine, and embracing her children in photos she posted to Instagram.
The shared images revealed O’Neal standing between the newlyweds, giving speeches, and even dancing with her son.
One particularly emotional shot showed Kevin helping her out of her seat, both wearing joyful smiles.
Fans responded with overwhelming love and admiration for her bravery, sobriety, and recovery.
Comments poured in describing her as “ageless” and “courageous,” with many expressing how touching it was to see her present and strong after such a difficult journey.
Tatum O’Neal finally had her long-awaited reunion with ex-husband John McEnroe at their son Kevin’s wedding.
The Oscar-winning actress, 61, and tennis ace, 66, attended Kevin McEnroe’s nuptials with theater actress Fern Cozine on June 14 in Napa, California.
For the ceremony, Kevin, 39, rocked a classic white tuxedo paired with a black bowtie and black shoes, while Cozine wore a white off-the-shoulder gown and lace veil, photos obtained by People show.
“Forever @ferncozine,” he captioned the Instagram post.
Cozine, for her part, shared the same image on her account, as well as another of the pair laughing during the outing.
“Definitely definitely ♥️,” her caption read.
Ahead of the wedding, the “Paper Moon” actress said that she was anticipating being in the same room as the 7-time Grand Slam-winning tennis legend for the first time in “many years, decades even,” on their son’s special day.
“The anger is gone,” O’Neal told Variety in February.
The actress said she’s finally ready to bury the hatchet with McEnroe, from whom she split in 1992 and divorced in 1994 after eight years of marriage.
The exes share three children: sons Kevin, 38, and Sean, 37, and daughter Emily, 34.
After the pair parted ways, the former tennis superstar was granted full custody of the kids as a result of O’Neal’s drug issues.
