Scott Hamilton’s Family: Meet His Wife and Four Children

Scott Hamilton has epitomized the role of a devoted father since his retirement from figure skating in 1984.

Scott and his wife, Tracie Hamilton, are proud parents of four children. After marrying in 2002, they welcomed their sons, Aidan and Maxx. Six years later, they expanded their family by adopting siblings Jean Paul and Evelyne from Haiti.

While building his family, Scott faced a health scare when he was diagnosed with testicular cancer. Following surgery and treatment, he went into remission in 1997. However, he was later diagnosed with brain cancer in 2004 and again in 2010, which led to another surgery. A third tumor was identified in 2016, but Scott chose to forgo additional surgery.

In a November 2025 interview with People, Scott expressed his outlook on health: “Life is great. I’m living fully, living healthy, living without restriction.”

Currently, Scott serves as a figure skating analyst for the 2026 Olympics in Italy.
