Ralph Macchio, best known for his role as Daniel LaRusso in the iconic 'The Karate Kid' franchise, recently revealed the secret to his enduring 38-year marriage to Phyllis Fierro.

The couple's journey began when Macchio was just 15 years old, eventually leading to their marriage in August 1987. Their family grew with the arrival of Julia in 1992 and Daniel in 1995. Macchio's daughter has even followed in her father's footsteps, making appearances in seasons 4 and 5 of 'Cobra Kai,' enriching their bond both on and off screen.Julia describes her father as the 'best dad,' praising his unwavering support and dedication to his craft. She admires his work ethic and professionalism, learning valuable lessons from observing him over the years. Macchio's success in 'The Karate Kid' franchise, which started its journey in 1984, was unexpected even to him. He acknowledges the special chemistry he shared with Pat Morita and the strength of the entire cast, but the film's enduring legacy and the continued popularity of 'Cobra Kai' are testaments to its timeless appeal.
