Dan Marino is a former American football quarterback who is widely recognized among the greatest quarterbacks in American football history.

Dan and his wife Claire have six children together. Their kids are Daniel Charles, Michael Joseph, Joseph Donald, Alexander, Niki Lin, and Lia.

The couples’ adopted children are Niki Lin and Lia. They were adopted from China. Their autistic son Michael inspired Dan to start the Dan Marino Foundation, which hosts an annual autism awareness day called Walkabout Autism.

Michael told CBS Miami in an interview that his dad “is just a very kind person, a very good father and he cares a lot about his kids. Because of that support and that push, I am able to be who I am today and be able to speak well, which I had a real problem with when I was younger, pointing at a lot of things.” Their younger son Joseph is a golfer like his dad
