Father-Daughter Bond: Howie Mandel and Jackelyn Shultz's Heartwarming Story
Howie Mandel shared a heartwarming story about his daughter's love for Michael Jackson. He revealed that his daughter, Jackelyn Shultz, wanted to name her baby brother after the late pop icon when she was just 4 years old. Despite her admiration for Michael Jackson, she was too starstruck to speak when she met him in person.
Their father-daughter bond has remained strong over the years, with Howie and Shultz co-hosting the Howie Mandel Does Stuff podcast together. The podcast was born out of a desire to connect with each other during the pandemic, and they spend hours making each other laugh.
Both Howie and Shultz have been open about their struggles with OCD, which sometimes caused tension in their relationship. However, Shultz emphasized the importance of having a parent who understood her condition and was always there for her when she needed support.
Despite the challenges they faced, Shultz and Howie have a close relationship now. Howie Mandel is not only a loving father to Shultz but also to his other children, including daughter Riley Ehrlich, whom he shares with his wife, Terry Mandel. Their family bond remains strong, and they continue to support each other through life's ups and downs.
