Danny as Jonathan Bower on Who's the Boss? in 1987.

"I wanted to tell you this a long time ago, but I wasn't ready," Danny told Oprah during the sit-down for the OWN network's Where Are They Now? show. "I'm ready now. I'm HIV-positive and I have been for 12 years."

Danny — who publicly came out as a gay man in 1997 — added the health news came with a "weird combination of feelings." The actor has been happily married to his husband, Wil Tabares, since April 2014.
