Scott Hamilton has been a gold medal-worthy dad since retiring from figure skating in 1984.
Scott shares four children with his wife, Tracie Hamilton. After they got married in 2002, they welcomed sons Aidan and Maxx. Six years later, they adopted siblings Jean Paul and Evelyne from Haiti.
While raising his family, Scott was diagnosed with testicular cancer. He underwent surgery and treatment before going into remission in 1997. Doctors later diagnosed him with brain cancer in 2004 and 2010 before Scott underwent another surgery. A third tumor was found in 2016, but Scott decided against another operation.
In a November 2025 interview with People, Scott said of his health, “Life is great. I’m living fully, living healthy, living without restriction.”
Now, Scott is serving as a figure skating analyst for the 2026 Olympics in Italy.
