Their children are Marre, 18, Jack, 16, Katie, 13, Michael 11, and Patrick, 10. To stay connected to his family, Gaffigan tries to “maintain bedtime rituals while working in the city”.
When on tour, he reportedly takes his family with him. In an interview with People, Jim Gaffigan revealed that raising 5 kids can be ‘Terrifying’: ‘Wonderful and Really Hard.’
“It’s wonderful and really, really hard,” he shared. “What no one tells you is that when they get older, it gets so much harder. It’s just a different type of hard.”

He noted that one of the most “frustrating” things as a parent is “being able to communicate some of the things that I might have learned in a way where they might hear it.”
He added that while he’s been a parent for nearly two decades, his kids still “constantly surprise” him, adding that they often “surprise me in different ways.”
In fact, Gaffigan said he is “constantly surprised” by how funny his son Jack is. He even suggested that the 16-year-old “truly is one of the funniest people” he knows.
