At 40, a partner, a dog owner, and a life measured in something other than kilos

Today, Kevin’s daily life is defined by relationships and routines that have nothing to do with his birth weight or childhood fame. He is a partner, a friend, and a dog owner — the kind of ordinary anchors that matter most to him now.
His story, as those who have followed it describe it, is ultimately one of hard-won peace: “proving that even the most sensational beginning can lead to an ordinary, deeply human, hard-won peace.” The 7-kilo baby of 1983 is simply a man at 40, living quietly on his own terms.
Kevin’s trajectory from a 7-kilo newborn photographed by the world to a 40-year-old living quietly with a partner and a dog is, in the end, exactly what his parents had hoped for: an ordinary life, fully his own.
