Matthew Logelin

Matthew Logelin is an American author, blogger, public speaker, and philanthropist who founded the Liz Logelin Foundation to provide financial grants to families who have lost a parent.^[1]^[2] He gained public recognition after the sudden death of his wife, Elizabeth "Liz" Logelin, from a pulmonary embolism on March 25, 2008, the day after she gave birth to their daughter, Madeline Elizabeth Logelin.^[2]^[3] Logelin chronicled his experiences as a single father through a personal blog that attracted a large online following offering emotional and financial support, which inspired the establishment of his nonprofit organization later that year.^[2] This led to the publication of his memoir, Two Kisses for Maddy: A Memoir of Loss and Love, in 2011, detailing his courtship with Liz, her death, and the challenges of raising his daughter amid grief.^[4] The book became a bestseller and was later adapted into the 2021 Netflix film Fatherhood.^[5] As a keynote speaker, Logelin shares insights on resilience, fatherhood, and coping with loss, drawing from his personal story to motivate audiences on themes of perseverance and community support.^[1] His foundation continues to distribute aid worldwide, funded in part by donations spurred by his advocacy.^[2]

Early Life and Pre-Tragedy Career

Upbringing and Education

Matthew Logelin was born and raised in Minnetonka, Minnesota, a suburb of the Twin Cities.^[6] He grew up there with his family before attending high school in the area, where he met his future wife, Elizabeth "Liz" Goodman, during their senior year in 1995–1996.^[6] ^[7] Logelin studied sociology at Saint John's University in Collegeville, Minnesota, graduating in 2000.^[6] He then pursued a master's degree in sociology at Loyola University Chicago, completing it in 2002.^[6] ^[8] Following this, he considered a PhD in the field but instead relocated to Southern California in 2002 to join Goodman, forgoing further academic pursuits at that time.^[6]

Initial Professional Experience

Logelin completed a master's degree in sociology before relocating from Minnesota to Southern California around 2002 to join his future wife, Liz Goodman.^[8] ^[6] Upon moving, he entered the professional workforce as a project manager at Yahoo!, a role he maintained for several years leading up to 2008.^[9] ^[6] In this capacity, Logelin oversaw operations, including coordinating with distributed teams via video conferences attended by dozens of participants.^[10] His responsibilities aligned with Yahoo!'s expanding outsourcing initiatives, though specific details on his involvement in international aspects remain limited in public records. By early 2008, he was recognized internally as an operations manager within the firm.^[10] Logelin departed Yahoo! in October 2009 to prioritize parenting his daughter and pursuing writing projects, marking the end of his initial corporate tenure.^[8] This period represented his primary pre-tragedy professional engagement, focused on technology sector management rather than academic or advocacy pursuits that emerged later.^[9]

Relationship and Marriage to Liz Goodman

Meeting and Courtship

Matthew Logelin and Elizabeth "Liz" Goodman, both raised in Minnetonka, Minnesota, first encountered each other at a local gas station in January 1996 during their senior year of high school.^[11]^[12] Liz approached Matt, initiating a conversation that led to their first date on February 26, 1996.^[12] The pair quickly developed a romantic relationship, though it soon faced challenges as Liz pursued higher education on the West Coast, necessitating a long-distance arrangement after their high school graduation in 1996.^[6] Despite the geographical separation, Logelin and Goodman sustained their commitment through frequent communication and shared experiences, including time studying abroad in Paris.^[12] Logelin remained in Minnesota initially for work and community college before relocating to California in 2005 to join Goodman and end the long-distance phase of their relationship.^[13] That same year, on August 13, they married in a ceremony reflecting their enduring bond and mutual adventures, which had included travels together prior to settling in Los Angeles.^[6]^[14] Their courtship, spanning nearly a decade, emphasized companionship and exploration, as detailed in Logelin's memoir recounting humorous and affectionate moments from their early dating years.^[15]

Shared Life and Pregnancy

Logelin and Goodman married on August 13, 2005, in Minneapolis, Minnesota.^[16] Following the wedding, the couple relocated to Los Angeles, California, where they purchased a home and anticipated starting a family.^[6] They traveled extensively together, embracing a lifestyle of adventure and shared experiences prior to parenthood.^[14] In 2007, Liz Logelin became pregnant with the couple's first child, a daughter named Madeline Elizabeth.^[14] The pregnancy proved difficult, characterized by health complications that necessitated bed rest for Liz beginning in early March 2008, roughly two months before the expected due date and five weeks prior to delivery.^[10] ^[11] ^[17] Despite these challenges, the couple expressed excitement about impending parenthood, with Logelin later recalling Liz's visible joy during the pregnancy.^[17] The baby was anticipated to arrive around mid-May 2008, but labor began prematurely, leading to a cesarean section on March 24, 2008, seven weeks early, resulting in Madeline's birth weighing 3 pounds, 14 ounces.^[11] ^[14]

The 27-Hour Period: Birth and Loss

Madeline's Delivery

On March 24, 2008, following a high-risk pregnancy that required Liz Logelin to undergo nearly two months of bed rest—including three weeks in the hospital—Madeline Elizabeth Logelin was delivered via emergency caesarean section at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles.^[18]^[11] The procedure was necessitated by preterm labor, with Madeline arriving seven weeks early at 33 weeks gestation.^[7]^[19] Despite her prematurity, Madeline was born healthy, weighing approximately 3 pounds 14 ounces, though she required immediate transfer to the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) for monitoring due to her low birth weight and underdeveloped lungs typical of preterm infants.^[7]^[5] Liz Logelin, recovering from the surgery, briefly viewed her daughter through the incubator but was advised by medical staff to remain in bed to avoid complications from the incision.^[19] Matthew Logelin, present throughout, described the moment as one of profound joy amid the medical urgency, marking the culmination of months of cautious anticipation.^[7]

Liz's Sudden Death and Immediate Aftermath

On March 25, 2008, approximately 27 hours after delivering their daughter Madeline via emergency cesarean section, Elizabeth "Liz" Logelin suffered a massive pulmonary embolism that caused her instantaneous death.^[5]^[18] The blood clot originated in her leg, traveled to her lungs, and blocked oxygen flow, a complication linked to her hereditary predisposition for clotting heightened by recent pregnancy and prior weeks of hospital bedrest for placental issues.^[18]^[20] As Matthew Logelin wheeled her toward the neonatal intensive care unit to hold Madeline for the first time, Liz collapsed suddenly in his arms, despite appearing healthy moments earlier and having been cleared by medical staff.^[7]^[21] Medical personnel attempted resuscitation but pronounced her dead at age 30, leaving Matthew, then 30, to confront the dual crises of widowhood and sole parenthood of a premature infant weighing 3 pounds, 14 ounces, who required NICU monitoring.^[22]^[23] In the immediate hours following, Matthew managed basic newborn care amid profound shock, forgoing extended mourning to prioritize Madeline's feeding, diapering, and hospital logistics, later recounting the disorientation of navigating grief while sustaining their daughter's survival.^[21]^[10] Hospital staff provided initial support, but the abrupt loss underscored postpartum vulnerabilities, with no prior symptoms alerting to the clot despite routine monitoring.^[18]

Emergence as a Single Father and Blogger

Early Parenting Struggles

Following the sudden death of his wife Liz on March 25, 2008, from a pulmonary embolism just 27 hours after Madeline's birth, Matthew Logelin assumed sole responsibility for his premature newborn daughter, who weighed 3 pounds 14 ounces at delivery via emergency cesarean section on March 24, 2008.^[24]^[18] Madeline's prematurity necessitated an extended stay in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU), where Logelin learned essential caregiving skills such as bottle-feeding and monitoring vital signs from nurses, while grappling with profound grief that required him to prioritize hospital visits to his daughter over immediate mourning.^[16]^[5] Upon bringing Madeline home from the hospital after several weeks in the NICU, Logelin contended with acute anxiety common to new parents but intensified by his circumstances as a widower, including persistent fears of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS).^[7] To alleviate these fears, he frequently slept with the infant on his chest, disregarding pediatric recommendations to place babies on their backs in separate cribs, a practice driven by exhaustion and emotional vulnerability.^[7] Sleep deprivation compounded the physical demands of round-the-clock feedings, diaper changes, and soothing a colicky preemie, often leading him to push her stroller around the block at 3 a.m. when rest proved impossible.^[7]^[25] Emotionally, Logelin navigated isolation in parenting circles, attending mothers' support groups where his presence as the sole father elicited awkward stares, yet provided practical advice on topics like lactation consulting and developmental milestones he tackled alone.^[25] The dual burden of bereavement and novice fatherhood manifested in raw, unfiltered daily struggles documented in his blog, which he initiated to update family and friends but which inadvertently highlighted his reliance on trial-and-error for tasks like burping and swaddling amid unrelenting sorrow.^[7]^[5] Despite familial assistance, the absence of Liz left Logelin to improvise solutions, such as adapting household routines without a co-parent, fostering a resilience born of necessity rather than preparation.^[15]

Blogging and Public Support

Following the sudden death of his wife Liz on March 25, 2008, Logelin turned to blogging as a means of coping with grief and documenting his new role as a single father to newborn Madeline. He continued posting on the couple's existing pregnancy blog, retitled Matt, Liz, and Madeline, where entries detailed raw emotions, parenting challenges, and Madeline's early developments, such as her first smiles and sleep patterns.^[7] The platform became an unfiltered chronicle of widowhood, emphasizing Logelin's determination to honor Liz's memory while navigating isolation and exhaustion.^[26] The blog's visibility surged after local media coverage, including a Star Tribune feature in 2008, drawing widespread attention and peaking at nearly 50,000 daily visitors.^[27] Readers, spanning parents, widows, and strangers, engaged actively in comments sections, offering sympathy, practical tips on infant care (e.g., sleep training and feeding routines), and emotional validation that countered Logelin's sense of solitude.^[7] Public support manifested tangibly through coordinated reader efforts, with shipments of essential items arriving regularly, including diapers, wipes, formula accessories, and children's clothing.^[7] These gestures, often anonymous, alleviated immediate financial and logistical burdens during Logelin's early months of paternity leave, fostering a virtual community that provided both material aid and psychological resilience amid bereavement.^[28] By mid-2008, the influx highlighted blogging's role in mobilizing empathy, though Logelin later reflected on the pressure of sustaining reader expectations.^[26]

Literary and Advocacy Work

Publication of Two Kisses for Maddy

Logelin's blog, which documented his early challenges as a single father after Liz's death, attracted widespread attention and reader support, ultimately leading to a book deal with Grand Central Publishing, an imprint of Hachette Book Group.^[29]^[1] Two Kisses for Maddy: A Memoir of Loss & Love was published in hardcover on April 14, 2011, with ISBN 978-0-446-56430-4.^[30] The memoir chronicles the first year of Logelin's life as a widower raising newborn daughter Madeline, interweaving humorous and poignant anecdotes from his courtship and marriage to Liz with the raw realities of grief, sleep deprivation, and parenting milestones.^[31] Dedicated to Maddy, the narrative emphasizes Logelin's emotional reliance on his daughter amid profound loss, drawing directly from blog entries while expanding into a structured reflection on resilience.^[32] The book achieved commercial success, reaching the New York Times bestseller list, and garnered praise for its honest portrayal of blending sorrow with paternal joy.^[11]^[33] Kirkus Reviews described it as a "moving" account of how Logelin's grief intertwined with his infant's thriving development, highlighting his efforts to rebuild amid tragedy.^[32] A paperback edition followed in 2012, further extending its reach.^[34]

Ongoing Writing and Speaking Engagements

Logelin has sustained a career as a public speaker, focusing on themes of grief, resilience, single fatherhood, and overcoming adversity. He delivers keynote addresses through representation by agencies such as AAE Speakers Bureau and All American Speakers Bureau, with topics encompassing authors' experiences, mental health, and fatherhood.^[1]^[35] These engagements draw from his personal story detailed in Two Kisses for Maddy, emphasizing practical lessons in navigating profound loss while prioritizing child-rearing responsibilities. Notable appearances include serving as the keynote speaker at the 2011 Gaithersburg Book Festival, where he discussed his journey as a blogger and author.^[36] He has also spoken at bereavement-focused events, such as Camp Widow, sharing insights on widowhood and foundation-building in honor of his late wife.^[37] More recent examples encompass a 2021 guest speaking role at the Community of Giving event, highlighting resilience amid loss, and a featured presentation at a Jewish Family & Community Services fundraiser inspired by the Netflix adaptation of his story.^[38]^[39] Regarding writing, Logelin has not published additional books following Two Kisses for Maddy in 2011, and no verified contributions to periodicals or ongoing blogging series are documented in public records post-memoir release. His literary efforts appear concentrated on the initial account of his family's tragedy and early parenting, with speaking serving as the primary medium for continued public engagement on these subjects.^[1]

Philanthropic Efforts

Establishment of the Liz Logelin Foundation

Matthew Logelin founded the Liz Logelin Foundation in 2009 as a non-profit organization dedicated to providing financial grants to families with young children who have lost a parent.^[40]^[41] The initiative was established in honor of his late wife, Elizabeth "Liz" Logelin, who died on March 24, 2008, less than 27 hours after giving birth to their daughter, Madeline.^[2]^[41] Logelin's decision to create the foundation stemmed from the extensive support he received through his personal blog, Matt, Liz, and Madeline, which chronicled his experiences as a sudden widower and single father.^[5] An online community of fellow bereaved parents and readers contributed donations that Logelin initially distributed informally to those in need, inspiring the formalization of efforts into a structured charitable entity.^[7] This grassroots approach leveraged the power of digital connectivity to unite supporters worldwide, transitioning from ad hoc aid to an organized foundation aimed at easing financial burdens for grieving families.^[2] The foundation's establishment marked Logelin's shift from personal storytelling to philanthropy, reflecting a commitment to "pay it forward" by replicating the communal assistance that sustained him during his early grief.^[5] Initial operations focused on direct grants for essentials like childcare, housing, and therapy, drawing from volunteer networks and blog-driven fundraising.^[2] By formalizing in 2009, the organization positioned itself to scale impact beyond individual cases, prioritizing empirical needs over symbolic gestures.^[40]

Foundation Operations and Impact

The Liz Logelin Foundation operates as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization focused on providing no-strings-attached financial grants to widows, widowers, and young families following the death of a parent.^[42] These grants address short-term emotional and financial needs, such as mortgage or utility payments, enabling recipients to navigate immediate crises without bureaucratic hurdles.^[41] The foundation solicits donations through targeted campaigns, including the "$7 on the 7th" initiative—honoring Liz Logelin's favorite number—and participant-driven fundraisers that have raised amounts like $5,750 from 63 donors in a recent year.^[43]^[44] Financially, the foundation's revenue peaked at approximately $171,835 in 2011, primarily from contributions, before declining to $32,531 by 2018, with expenses closely tracking inflows for grant distribution. Classified under human services to promote independence for vulnerable populations, it maintains modest assets and relies on public support without government funding as a primary source.^[46] Operations emphasize direct aid over administrative overhead, though detailed grant allocation metrics beyond aggregate revenues remain limited in public filings. In terms of impact, the foundation has delivered grants, resources, and support to over 400 families by 2020, aiding hundreds of children in maintaining stability post-loss.^[47] This assistance, drawn from reader contributions via Logelin's blog and subsequent advocacy, underscores a model of grassroots philanthropy targeted at sudden parental bereavement, though its scale has remained small relative to broader bereavement organizations.^[7] Ongoing social media engagement indicates continued, albeit low-volume, activity into the 2020s.^[48]

Later Personal and Professional Developments

Remarriage and Blended Family

Logelin married television writer Lizzie Molyneux on February 24, 2018, in Palm Springs, California.^[6]^[49] Molyneux, known for her work on the animated series Bob's Burgers alongside her sister Wendy, adopted the hyphenated surname Molyneux-Logelin following the ceremony. The couple has expanded their family with the birth of at least one child, a daughter who serves as the younger sibling to Logelin's daughter Madeline from his first marriage.^[50] As of June 2021, Logelin reported that Madeline had a little sister and that another child was expected soon thereafter.^[50]^[51] This arrangement constitutes a blended family, integrating Madeline with Logelin, Molyneux-Logelin, and their subsequent children, though specific details on additional births post-2021 remain private.^[6]

Current Activities and Residence

As of January 2025, Matthew Logelin resides in Pasadena, California, at the base of Eaton Canyon.^[52] He remains involved with The Liz Logelin Foundation, a nonprofit providing financial grants to widowed parents with young children, with recent fundraising campaigns seeking to expand donor participation beyond 100 contributors in 2024–2025 after raising $5,750 from 63 donors the prior year.^[44] Logelin maintains a relatively private profile centered on family and philanthropic oversight, following his transition from a career in project management at Yahoo to authorship, speaking, and foundation leadership.^[6]

Public Reception and Media Portrayals

Adaptations Including Netflix's Fatherhood

The memoir Two Kisses for Maddy: A Memoir of Loss and Love (2011) served as the basis for the dramatic film adaptation Fatherhood, released on Netflix on June 18, 2021.^[6]^[53] Directed by Paul Weitz from a screenplay co-written with Dana Stevens, the film stars Kevin Hart as Matt, a widowed father raising his infant daughter Maddy (portrayed by Melody Hurd) following the sudden death of his wife shortly after childbirth.^[53] Supporting roles include Alfre Woodard as Matt's mother-in-law, Lil Rel Howery as his friend Jordan (loosely inspired by Logelin's real-life friend A.J. Colianni), and DeWanda Wise as Matt's eventual romantic interest.^[6] The production was handled by Sony Pictures with involvement from Higher Ground Productions, the company founded by Barack and Michelle Obama.^[6] Development of the adaptation began earlier, with film rights acquired by Sony in 2015 and Channing Tatum initially attached to star and produce through his Free Association banner.^[54] By January 2019, Kevin Hart replaced Tatum as the lead, retaining Weitz as director.^[55] Logelin and his daughter Maddy visited the set on August 7, 2019, but he did not exert creative control over the screenplay, which dramatizes and alters several elements of his real experiences.^[6] The film relocates the story from Los Angeles—where Logelin's events unfolded—to Boston and modifies character details, such as depicting the wife (named Lizzie in the movie) as an animator rather than a television writer like the real Liz Logelin, who contributed to Bob's Burgers.^[6] It omits Logelin's popular blog, which garnered up to 40,000 daily visitors and substantial fan support including donations of baby supplies, while inventing subplots and compressing the timeline around Liz's pregnancy complications, which in reality involved five weeks of bed rest culminating in two weeks of hospitalization.^[6] Liz's death occurred approximately 27 hours after Maddy's birth on March 24, 2008, due to complications from a pulmonary embolism, a core event retained but contextualized differently in the adaptation.^[6] No other film, television, or major media adaptations of Logelin's story have been produced.^[6]

Achievements, Criticisms, and Broader Influence

Logelin's memoir Two Kisses for Maddy: A Memoir of Loss and Love, published in April 2011, achieved commercial success as a New York Times bestseller and received the Goodreads Choice Award for Readers' Favorite Memoir & Autobiography in 2011. The book detailed his experiences as a single father following his wife Liz's sudden death 27 hours after their daughter's birth on March 24, 2008, drawing from his widely read blog that garnered international support.^[7] In 2021, his story was adapted into the Netflix film Fatherhood, starring Kevin Hart, which topped Netflix charts upon release and introduced Logelin's narrative of resilience to a broader audience.^[5] Through the Liz Logelin Foundation, founded in August 2009, Logelin has directed financial grants to widowed parents with young children, supporting 141 families as of recent reports and providing aid for essentials like housing, therapy, and childcare during crises.^[2] The foundation's efforts, including donations of books, blankets, and other items to neonatal intensive care units, have extended practical assistance beyond direct grants.^[56] Criticisms of Logelin have been sparse and largely confined to unverified online commentary, such as forum discussions questioning his personal decisions post-loss, including remarriage; however, no substantiated controversies or ethical lapses in his professional or philanthropic work appear in reputable sources.^[57] His story faced exploitation by content aggregation sites that distorted details for traffic, prompting backlash against those platforms rather than Logelin himself.^[58] Logelin's experiences have influenced discussions on sudden bereavement, single parenthood, and maternal mortality risks, with his wife's death from a pulmonary embolism highlighting postpartum complications amid broader U.S. trends where such events contribute to rising maternal death rates.^[18] The foundation's model of targeted financial support has aided over 150 children by 2011 and continues to offer hope to affected families, fostering community resilience.^[59] His public sharing shifted online responses from sympathy to actionable advice on grief and parenting, inspiring widowed individuals to seek support networks.^[7]
