Roseanne Barr revealed how a tabloid magazine helped her reunite with her daughter she put up for adoption. Barr explained in her new documentary, Roseanne Is America, that the National Enquirer located her daughter by “bribing someone in records in Colorado for my name, her name and her adoptive parents’ name.” “Am I upset about it? No. I’m grateful,” Barr said about the whole ordeal in her documentary. In 1971, when Barr was just 18, she gave birth to her daughter at the Salvation Army Home for Unwed Mothers in Denver. She recalled making a promise to her daughter at the time, saying, “I’ll see you again when you’re 18, because I’m not going to change my name, I’m going to be famous. I’m going to have my own show named Roseanne.” Barr and Brown reunited when Brown was 17 years old. The MAGA comedian sharing a photo of the two wearing “love” and “peace” shirts on Instagram in 2024 with the caption: “Oldest bb 52 yrs old reunited @ aged 17! GD is good.” Barr has four other children, sharing Jessica, 50, Jennifer, 49, and Jake 47, with her first husband Bill Pentland, and Buck, 30, with her ex-husband Ben Thomas.
