Obviously, finding male celebrities that have fathered children by more than two women is barely a thought. But what about the reverse? The only one I can think of is Roseanne. She got pregnant at age 16 and was forced by her parents to give up her new born daughter. That pissed her off so badly she went to live with her sister in Colorado and married Bill Pentland. the fiest guy she met there. She became “Queen of the barefoot and pregnant,” having two daughters and a son before getting her tubes tied. She then got famous, divorced Pentland and married Tom Arnold, divorced Arnold, married Ben Thomas and used in vitro fertilzation to concieve their son Buck. Are there any others? ---

MORE THAN two men, guys. Judy Garland doesn’t count…she had children with Vicente Minnelli and Sid Luft, but that’s it. ---

> [@Annie-Xmas](#): > > I said MORE than two men, and I meant to say, not just imply, biological children. Then I guess that rules out Patty Duke. She had two biological sons with two different men, then one more adopted with another. Maybe we can allow her anyway, though due to the convoluted circumstances involved who with her oldest son’s biological father really was. It was like the Maury Povitch show before there was a Maury Povitch show. ---

I thought a Gabor sister might qualify, but upon checking I stumbled across the interesting factoid that the three Gabor sisters have 20 marriages among them and only one child. ---

I am not much with celebrities, but how many actresses have 3 or more kids? How many married people have 3 or more kids? The average American coupl has 1.6 children per couple. So your probably not gonna find a huge number regular people to fit the criteria much less adding on another condition (being an actress) ---
