Jacqueline Danforth and Barbara Walters

Barbara Walters only has one child, Jacqueline “Jackie” Danforth.” The iconic television host adopted Danforth with her second husband, Lee Guber, in 1968. In an episode of Oprah’s Master Class in 2015, Walters revealed she failed to have a baby three times, so they opted for adoption. With the right legal papers and with the help of their lawyer, she officially became a mother. Walters and Guber’s meeting with a couple they rarely saw led them to adopt Danforth. At the time, they wanted to have a baby boy, but both agreed to adopt a girl instead.

The journalist said then that she adored her daughter. She was even surprised to know that she could have the kind of love she felt for Danforth. Jackie claimed that she had a troublesome childhood. Now, both are trying to work things out since Jackie has gotten out of prison. Without a doubt, Barbara has secured her investments to have the ability to help her adopted daughter get back on her feet.
