Susan Lucci’s Two Children, Liza and Andreas, Keep Her Legacy Alive
All My Children icon Susan Lucci reflects on family, loss, and resilience as she shares memories of her children, Liza and Andreas, and her late husband Helmut Huber.
All My Children star Susan Lucci and her late husband Helmut Huber welcomed two kids during their marriage. Their older child, daughter Liza, was born in February 1975, and their son Andreas followed in 1980. While Lucci lit up television screens as Erica Kane from 1970 to 2011, off screen she was busy being a devoted mom and partner. The couple met while working at a hotel and married on September 13 of that year, forming a family that supported each other through the years, including Lucci’s Hollywood appearances and the kids’ charitable projects. The family stood together when Helmut died at 84 in March 2022, with Lucci later writing that she felt “completely lost” but gradually found joy again through work, travel, friends, and time with family, especially her grandchildren.
In her 2026 memoir La Lucci, Lucci shares how she keeps her husband’s memory alive while continuing to evolve as a performer and a parent. She notes that her children have grown into confident individuals who have been by her side at public events and in their own charitable efforts, maintaining a close-knit family dynamic despite the public eye. Lucci has also spoken about receiving “signs” from Helmut years after his passing, a testament to the enduring bond they shared.
Fans also remember Lucci for her decades-long Emmy journey. She once described how she would “go numb” during a 19-year Emmy losing streak before finally winning Best Actress in 1999 on her 19th nomination, a moment many viewers celebrated as a long-awaited triumph. Today, Lucci’s life circles back to the people who mattered most: Liza and Andreas, her husband’s memory, and the grandchildren who bring renewed joy as she continues to balance acting with family and love.
