Nelson Ned
Ned married twice, and had three children with his second wife, María Aparecida. All three of his children developed dwarfism: Nelson Ned Junior (1.08 m [42.5 inches]), a musician now living in Mexico; Monalisa Ned d'Ávila, a doctor, and Ana Verónica Ned Pinto (90 cm [35.5 inches]), a singer and acrobat.
Noel Devine
Devine was only three months old when his father died in 1988 of complications from AIDS, and 11 years old when his mother also died of AIDS. Custody passed to his maternal grandmother, but the two were not compatible. Eventually, Noel moved in with Liz and Robert Harlow Sr, parents of one of Noel's friends. By his junior year in high school, Devine had fathered two children by two different women. He was also witness to a shooting in late 2004, in which one of his friends, 15-year-old Rashard Patterson, was killed by a shotgun blast to the chest.
