Barbara Walters, one of the most recognizable names in journalism, opened up about her relationship with her adopted daughter, Jacqueline Dena Guber.

The TV host shared that she and her husband at the time decided on adoption after she tragically suffered three miscarriages.

Their opportunity soon came around when they were having dinner with another couple. During dinner, the other married couple mentioned they wanted to adopt a boy because they had a girl with blonde hair and blue eyes. They said they wanted the boy instead of the girl, and Walters jumped at the chance.

When they said they didn’t want the girl, the “ABC Evening News” host happily offered to take the girl in. The other couple agreed, and they finalized the paperwork later. Walters named her new daughter Jackie after her sister, and she and the girl became extremely close.

Who took care of Barbara Walters? Did Jacqueline Dena Guber take care of her?

Despite her age and apparent health issues, Walters has a good support structure and the unconditional love of her daughter Jacqueline Dena Guber.

The TV personality shared in an interview that her daughter promised to take care of her when she got too old: “My daughter said to me recently, ‘Mom, when you have Alzheimer’s, you can come down and live next to me.’ Not ‘if you have Alzheimer’s,’ but ‘Mom, when you have Alzheimer’s!’ I take that as a very loving compliment.”
