Roseanne Barr is an American comedian and actress who is best known for her self-titled television series “Roseanne.” Barr won an Emmy Award and Golden Globe for Best Actress for her performance on the show. She began her career as a stand-up comedian in 1980 after already living as a full-time wife and mother. She drew on this experience for her comedy act, coining the phrase “Domestic Goddess” to refer to homemakers.  

In 1985, Barr appeared on “The Tonight Show” and quickly gained popularity. This led to her own HBO special called “The Roseanne Barr Show.” The program won her an American Comedy Award for best female performer. The success of her stand-up career drew the attention of television producers, and Barr was offered her own ABC series titled “Roseanne.”

Barr has since lost popularity after she sent out a controversial tweet that caused ABC to cancel a reboot of “Roseanne” in 2018. The show lived on in another form, now called “The Conners,” which explained that the matriarch of the family passed away. 

Nowadays, Barr is 70 years old and has a very different lifestyle than the one she once led. She lives in Hawaii in the town of Honokaa on the Big Island. She is enjoying her time out of the spotlight and lives a life of luxury in her mansion, which used to be a museum. She is also focusing on what makes her feel good, including her long-term relationship and her weight loss journey. Read on to learn more about the star’s career and what her current life is like.

Barr’s sitcom “Roseanne” ran for nine seasons from 1988 to 1997. The show was very successful and had high ratings. The series also highlighted the father of the Conners, John Goodman. 

However, Barr was fired from the series following controversial and hateful tweets. In 2018, the comedian spoke about what the aftermath of her firing was like, saying, “I’ve made myself a hate magnet.” Barr apologized, but it was clear that her career was not what it was once. 

Jenny Pentland, Barr’s daughter, spoke with PEOPLE about how “brutal” it was to see her mom so “devastated” by the firing. Pentland added, “We communicate at all costs. Even if it’s uncomfortable, annoying, or the timing is bad, that’s the priority.”

However, Variety reported that Barr is scheduled to appear in a comedy special titled “A Roseanne Comedy Special” in early 2023.

Speaking with EXTRA in 2018, Barr talked about how her family life changed her. “I have six grandkids. That’s what changed the most in my life,” she said. “You’ve got to be pushier to your kids and make sure they do right by their kids…”

While she has made headlines here and there over the years, Barr has done her best to live a more private life in Hawaii with her long-term partner Johnny Argent. The couple met online and have been together since 2003. In 2007, Barr purchased a 46-acre property with a gorgeous three-bedroom and three-and-a-half bathroom home.

On top of that, Barr has also focused a lot on her physical health and weight loss journey. When Barr first became famous, she was heavier but gradually worked on changing her appearance over the years.

In 2006, Barr told WebMD, “I feel great for a fat, cranky, old, left-leaning Jewish grandmother.” She also jokingly said that her hero was “whoever discovered the cacao tree.”

Back in 2008, Barr and her manager spoke with The Guardian about dieting to get a gastric band fitted. Still, Barr found herself craving “the three Ds: dough, something dead and something dairy.”

The outlet reported that Barr had previously had a breast reduction, tummy tuck and nose job. Part of it was to get away from her partner at the time, Tom Arnold. “Every time I had a break I would have surgery,” she said. “I think just to get away from him and then when I came back there’d be nurses in the house and I wouldn’t be alone with him.”

Barr has come a long way in her personal life since then. She is in a happy relationship and is feeling good about herself. In 2014, she told TODAY about her diet: “It’s radical and revolutionary. It’s where you eat less and move more – you know, just simple.”

The comedian added, “I just want to keep getting healthy and let go of excess baggage to carry around, so I’m lighter on my feet and in my life.”

Barr has shared her weight loss success on Instagram as well, showing off her leaner figure. In 2021, she posted a photograph of herself wearing pink workout gear with the caption, “Losing weight thru relentless gardening.”

Barr also shared another photograph with the simple caption: Feeling good, looking better 🌹”
