Martin Short has three kids – Katherine Elizabeth Short, Oliver Patrick Short, and Henry Hayter Short. All three of Martin Short\u2019s children came from his more than 30 years-long marriage to his late wife, Nancy Jane Dolman, a Canadian actress. Despite the fact that all of his children are adopted, Short and his late wife showered them with all the love and care they could muster.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Martin Short\u2019s career in the entertainment industry has spanned over five decades and has seen him pick up several awards and accolades for his efforts. Nonetheless, the actor considers his children to be his biggest achievement, and that assertion only served to pique the interest of the media and the general public about those children, all of whom are now grown. Meet Henry Hayter, Oliver Patrick, and Katherine Elizabeth Short, Martin Short\u2019s kids.<\/p>\n

Martin Short Does Not Have Any Biological Children<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Born Martin Hayter Short on March 26, 1950, in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada, the comedian met his now-late wife, Nancy Jane Dolman, in 1972 when he was cast in a Toronto production of Godspell. He was 22 years old at the time, while Nancy was 21 years old.<\/p>\n

It is yet to be established whether they immediately became romantic partners, but we can confirm that the former couple exchanged marital vows in 1980, about eight years after their first meeting. The details of the wedding festivities, such as venue, guests, and the like, have all been relegated to the background in the wake of the events that transpired during the more than three decades that Short and Dolman were married.<\/p>\n

For some reason, which the former couple neglected to mention, Short and his late wife were unable to have children of their own. The fact that they adopted their first child just a year after their marriage also points to the fact that they discovered quite early that they would be unable to have children biologically.<\/p>\n

Short had a beautiful marriage with his late wife, but tragedy struck in 2007 after Dolman was diagnosed with ovarian cancer following the discovery of a growth in her groin by her doctors. She kept her health challenges away from the media and the general public, and according to the actor, she did not want to have a funeral service.<\/p>\n

Short honored her wishes by cremating her. After that, he and the three children they adopted together went out on a boat and sprinkled her ashes in the water before jumping into the ashes. That night they threw a party to celebrate her life. It\u2019s important to point out the fact that Nancy retired from show business in 1985, three years after she and Martin had tied the knot, to become a stay-at-home mom.<\/p>\n

Just two years prior, they had adopted their first child, a daughter named Katherine Elizabeth Short. In 1986, they adopted a son named Oliver Patrick Short, and just over three years later, they adopted their second son named Henry Hayter Short. Martin\u2019s children have all grown with lives of their own hence the quest to unveil details of their lives. Read on to learn more about Martin Short\u2019s kids.<\/p>\n
