Ryan Murphy had an extra special plus-one this past weekend.
The television producer, 59, brought his 12-year-old son Logan along with him as the father-son duo made a rare red carpet appearance together for the Television Academy’s 27th Annual Hall of Fame Ceremony on Saturday, Aug. 16.
Murphy, who was honored at the event, smiled alongside his son Logan, who wore a black suit and white button-down shirt. This event marked the first time Logan was seen at an event since the 2019 premiere of Murphy’s show The Politician.

Murphy shares his sons Logan, Ford, 10, and Griffin, 5, with husband David Miller.
The television producer, who often keeps his home life private, revealed in 2018 that his son Ford was diagnosed with neuroblastoma in 2016 and underwent multiple procedures to battle the cancer.
According to the American Cancer Society, “neuroblastoma starts in certain very early forms of nerve cells, most often found in an embryo or fetus” and the “type of cancer occurs most often in infants and young children. It is rare in children older than 10 years.”

He celebrated his son Ford’s sixth birthday in 2020 and reflected on the little one’s recovery.
“Much love and respect to our warrior Ford Theodore Miller Murphy, who battled neuroblastoma cancer at 18 months and survived and thrived and today celebrated his SIXTH birthday,” Murphy shared.
“David and I are so grateful to Children’s Hospital Los Angeles and all the doctors and helpers who continue to love and care for Ford,” the proud dad said alongside a smiley photo of Ford. “There is in fact a wing with Ford’s name on it to honor his spirit and all the children who are still in the fight. Ford loves jungle animals…thus the cheetah sleeping bag. We love you, Fordie.”
