Vince’s children Stephanie McMahon and Shane McMahon have both thrived inside and outside WWE. However, Vince never had the support of his father early in his life. The WWE Chairman’s father left their family home when he was just a baby.
It wasn’t until after Vince McMahon turned 12 that he met his father again. The two eventually grew fond of each other and formed a close bond. In an interview with Playboy, Vince spoke about his relationship with his father.
“When I was 12 or a little older, living with my grandmother on my mom's side, my father and his mother came to visit. I must have behaved myself, because I got invited up to be with him.It's funny how you don't know what you're missing if you never had it...There would always be something missing between us, but there was no reason to discuss it. I was grateful for the chance to spend time with him.”
