Celebs with big families? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Cactus Jack · 09-04-2008, 10:31 PM

I was just looking at the Marx Brothers bio and and each brother, being 5 of them, had about 2 or more kids, which is a lot, so any others you can think of that had a that many or more or less but still big?

The Osmond family is by far the "celebrities" with the biggest families.

I was an Osmond fan when I was younger so I still know a little bit about them.

George & Olive had Virl, Tom, Alan, Wayne, Merrill, Jay, Donny, Marie, & Jimmy.

Just Donny alone has 5 kids and he's a grandfather!!

Marie has 8 kids, I believe.

I'm not really sure how many kids each other Osmond has but Oprah had them all on last year, and to fly to Chicago, they took up the whole plane!!

The Osmonds were the first family that popped into my mind. The Jacksons would be another large celeb family.

I thought of the Jacksons, too, because back in the day, the Osmonds brothers & the Jacksons were kinda "in competition" with each other. I think there was like, what, 8 or 9 Jackson kids? Geez, you'd think I'd know!!

Cactus Jack · 09-04-2008, 10:51 PM

I just read on George Osmond's IMDB page, that him and his wife had 55 grandchildren, and however many great grandchildren LOL.

The Jacksons are big too.

Gosh, you'd need a scorecard to remember whose kids is whose, birthdays, etc.

Makes me dizzy just thinking about it!

There are 9 Jackson kids, plus the father had an illegitimate daughter in 1980 or so. Marlon Jackson had a twin who died at birth.

The Bee Gees and Andy Gibb - obviously, all four were brothers, with Andy being the baby (11 years younger than Barry and 8 years younger than Robin and Maurice) and they also had an older sister, Lesley. Barry Gibb also has 5 kids, four boys and a girl.

Dolly Parton - doesn't she have at least 10 brothers and sisters?

Mel Gibson and his wife have seven kids.

Sharop · 09-05-2008, 11:26 AM

Pete Sampras is one of five kids.

John McEnroe has six kids (one of them a step-daughter.)

The "official" nine Jacksons are:

Maureen Reilette (Rebbie), born in 1950.
Sigmund Esco (Jackie), born in 1951.
Toriano Adaryll (Tito), born in 1953
Jermaine LaJuan (Jermaine), born in 1954.
LaToya Yvonne (LaToya), born in 1956.
Marlon David (Marlon), born in 1957.
Michael Joseph (Michael), born in 1958.
Steven Randall (Randy), born in 1961.
Janet Damita Jo (Janet), born in 1966.

And you're right about Marlon having a twin brother. His name was Brandon. But their illegimate half sister, JohVonnie Jackson, is born in 1974.
