Seven years ago, Gad lost contact with his father Melvin. When Gad was 16, his parents divorced and went their separate ways. Melvin relocated from Australia to the United States to start a new life, but he lost contact with his bloodline along the way. In the meantime, Gad married a woman named Hayley and they had two beautiful daughters. Not a day went by that Gad didn't think of his long-lost dad.
Gad's wife Hayley recently contacted KISS 1065, where DJs Kyle and Jackie helped her reconnect father and son, live on air. In the touching video below, Gad — now 32 years old — hears Melvin's voice for the first time in seven years. He's speechless, crying, and his reaction is raw and emotional. You can tell Hayley has dreamt of this moment almost as much as her husband.
Melvin said he's been wanting to contact his son for a very long time, but didn't know what to do or how to go about it. "It's really wonderful to talk to my son again and his wife, and now I've got grandkids. That's the best news I've had in a very, very long time." I have a feeling this is the start of a whole new chapter for this family 🙂
