The family has plenty to celebrate with Nick turning 40, a new baby on the way and John triumphing over cancer.
“We’re celebrating a lot of things,” John told Confidential. “The family is here in full, which is not easy doing so with Ben’s job (as a radio announcer on 2GB) but it just so happened to be a non-ratings period.”
John battled head and neck cancer two years ago and since being cleared, has started the Head and Neck Cancer Foundation.
The family is staying at the $700 per night Royal Hawaiian Hotel on Waikiki beach, where the Fordhams have visited for 40 years and where John is understood to have a chair dedicated to him.
