Hey there, friends. Today's a day filled with mixed emotions for Carson Daly. The beloved host of The Voice is celebrating what would have been his mom Pattie Daly Caruso's 75th birthday. But instead of just letting the day pass quietly, Carson decided to open up about what this special day means to him and his family. In an Instagram post, he shared some heartfelt memories and plans to honor her in a way that she would have loved.
“You know, my mom would have been turning 75 today,” Carson wrote, sharing a sweet photo of him and his sister, Quinn Daly. “I told my sister this morning that I’m still in such denial and pain about not being able to call her later. But tonight, we’re going to celebrate her the way she’d want—classic fried chicken, tons of red wine, and peanut butter cookies. And of course, her grandbabies will be there too. Love you, Mom. Happy birthday and talk later.”

Carson's Journey Through Grief
It’s been almost a year and a half since Pattie passed away from a heart attack on September 17, 2017. Carson, a dad to three beautiful kids—Jackson, 10, Etta, 6, and London, 4—has been candid about how her passing has impacted him deeply. In fact, earlier this week, he admitted that her loss has even made him afraid to love his kids too much. Can you imagine the weight of that? It’s a raw, honest look at how grief can change us, even as we continue to cherish the memories we have.
And the love and support for Carson has been overwhelming. Fans poured into the comments section to express their thoughts and prayers for him and his family. One particularly sweet moment came when a fan on Twitter asked Carson if he could share his mom’s fried chicken recipe. Carson thought it was a great idea and promised to post it later, teasing that it was the "real deal." Now, who wouldn’t want to get their hands on that?

Raising Awareness for Heart Health
Just last month, during American Heart Month, Carson spoke out about how unexpected his mom's heart attack was. He revealed that Pattie never showed any signs that something like this could happen. This experience has motivated Carson to use her story as a way to raise awareness about heart health, often referred to as the "silent killer." It’s a powerful reminder that heart disease doesn’t discriminate and can strike without warning.
In a heartfelt segment on Today, Carson opened up about the profound bond he shared with his mom. “My mom and I had this really special relationship. We were incredibly close. She lived every day like it was her last, and she had this saying—‘Go big or don’t go at all,’” Carson explained. “I struggle to put into words how much my mom meant to me. The love was so intense that the pain of losing her is just as strong.”
Our thoughts and prayers are with Carson and his entire family as they continue to navigate this challenging time. Losing a loved one is never easy, but it’s moments like these that remind us to cherish every second with the people we hold dear.
