Earlier this year, the actor was honoured with a Daytime Emmy Lifetime Achievement Award, which was presented by his daughter Jennifer.
Jennifer’s parents divorced when she was just nine-years-old, and she has reportedly had a rocky relationship with both her mother and father over the years.
However, during the height of the coronavirus pandemic, it was revealed that she was on good terms with her father.

A source at the time told MailOnline, “Jennifer didn’t speak to him for ages. But since the coronavirus crisis she has been on the phone almost every day.”
“It’s like she has realized life is very short and she wants her relationship with John to be the best it can be. He’s thrilled that they have reconciled.”
