Roseanne Barr rose to prominence with her 1988 sitcom Roseanne, which had a successful revival until 2018.
Roseanne Conner is played by Barr in the program, which follows the daily lives of her American working-class family. Like her Roseanne character, Barr has a large family in real life. Here is a picture of her family and children.
Roseanne Barr is the mother of five children.
Barr became a mother for the first time at 18 in 1971. She had a daughter named Brandi Brown, who another family eventually adopted because she wasn’t ready for parenthood at the time. Three years later, in 1974, the actress married her first spouse, Bill Pentland. In 1975, a year after their wedding, the couple welcomed their first child together, daughter Jessica.
Barr gave birth to a daughter, Jennifer, in 1976 and a son, Jake, in 1978, expanding their family in the following years. Barr and Pentland reared their children together for over a decade until their divorce in 1990. The same year as their divorce, Barr began dating Tom Arnold. They did not have children together, though, and divorced in 1994.
Barr married her third husband, Ben Thomas, in 1995. They chose IVF in November 1994 and received their only child, son Buck, in 1995. Barr divorced Thomas in 2002, and she began dating Johnny Argent in 2003.
Roseanne Barr’s official website Reestablished contact with the eldest daughter.
Although Barr’s oldest child, Brandi, had been adopted by another family, the two were reunited in 1988. In 1989, she told People about the incident. Barr revealed that she had left information for Brandi to locate her when she turned 21. Brandi’s sole knowledge of her mother was that she was famous.
However, a tabloid discovered Barr had a daughter out of wedlock and contacted her about it.
“Then I panicked and hired a private investigator to find her [Brandi] rather than having her read about me being her mother in a tabloid,” Barr explained. “Which is extremely filthy and sleazy.”

Barr said the two hit it off right away when asked how their reunion went.
“I turned around and felt a strong magnet. We exchanged glances. “Brandi leaped out of her seat, and we sprinted toward each other,” she recalled.
“We hugged and cried and wouldn’t let go of each other.”
Rosanne Barr’s Extended Family
Barr’s children have all grown up, and some have started their own families. On Instagram, she frequently updates her family.
In November 2021, she posted a photo of herself with six of her grandchildren. “Fun with a couple of grandchildren,” she captioned the photo.
In April of the same year, the Roseanne star took to Instagram to share a photo of her baby grandchild. She followed up a few days later with another post about her son, daughter-in-law, and the grandchild as mentioned above.
