92-year-old becomes world’s oldest first-time grandfather

Normand Tousignant, an American man from Gardner, Massachusetts, has been recognized by Guinness World Records as the world's oldest first-time grandfather. At the age of 92 years and 24 days, Tousignant met his granddaughter, Madison, who was born on September 22, 2022. The relationship between Tousignant and his granddaughter has reportedly revitalized his life, prompting the family to move closer together.

Tousignant, who spent most of his career as a clinical psychologist, is now the only surviving sibling in his family, following the death of his brother last year. He has 56 nieces and nephews. Tousignant's daughter, Kerry, said that her father's later timing as a parent had made their moments together precious, and that his relationship with Madison had brought joy and renewed meaning to his life.

The family celebrated Tousignant's Guinness World Records title at his 96th birthday party in August, where he received his certificate alongside Madison.
