Child of Lesley and Aaron

As for the only child of Lesley and Aaron, Taylor Latham, the couple hasn't given the details to her date of birth. But wait, it's not all. The couple prior to marriage was in a live-in relationship and Lesley got pregnant in late 1976.

Lesley, in her interview with People, said:

I wouldn't have a child without being married. The CBS were not easy on me. I had the Korean scandal, which meant stakesout on my feet. 

Maybe, Lesley is saying the truth. But who knows, given the privacy the couple has maintained around their life and the sensitivity of the issue, she might be answering diplomatically.

Taylor, like her parents, chose media as her career. She is a director-writer known for her work in the 2016 TV movie Prototype; Lol, which came out in 2012; and Freeheld  (2015).

Aaron Latham's fight against Parkinson's disease

Lesley's husband Aaron is suffering from Parkinson's disease. He was diagnosed with the disease in 2015.

In the same year, Lesley wrote a book about Parkinson's disease. Titled Fighting Back Against Parkinson's -In the Ring, she says in the book that the program Rock Steady Boxing works to curb the symptoms of the disease and can even reverse its effects to an extent in some cases. Aaron Latham is also part of the program and is actively engaged in it. Here is the video of it.

The program, developed in 2006, aims to help those suffering from Parkinson's by using professional techniques. The effect of the program is explained by Lesley as:

Boxing’s just the opposite of Parkinson’s. Instead of to shrink you, everything’s designed to pump you up. First of all, you get to put on these great gloves. It gives you enormous, giant hands and a different attitude toward the world. You get your physical courage back and your mental courage seems to kinda come along.

We hope that Aaron's hard work finally pays off. Stay tuned for more updates.
