How many children did Suzanne Somers have? 'Three's Company' star's unbreakable mother-son bond
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: The world has just lost a legend. Just one day before her 77th birthday, Suzanne Somers' death has left the entertainment industry in mourning.
She had looked forward to celebrating her special day with her "nearest and dearest," among them, her son Bruce Somers Jr, his wife, and their children, for whom she had endless love and devotion, as per People Magazine.
Suzanne Somers had unbreakable bond with son Bruce
Suzanne welcomed her son, Bruce, into the world on November 8, 1965, at the tender age of 19. Their bond grew stronger over the years, and Suzanne never missed a chance to celebrate her son's birthdays with heartfelt Instagram posts, where she affectionately referred to him as "the greatest person on the entire planet."
Bruce's journey led him to The Thatcher School in California for his early education, and he continued his academic pursuits by studying at the University of California, Berkeley, where he received a BFA in dramatic arts in 1988. Subsequently, he earned an MFA in film from the University of California, Los Angeles, in 1991.
Though Bruce didn't follow in his mother's footsteps in front of the camera, he ventured into a successful career in media.
He served as an executive producer at Lost Kitty Productions in the early '90s and later ventured into entrepreneurship, establishing businesses such as Somers & Somers Productions and Quigley-Simpson, a direct response media company.
His career has continued to flourish, culminating in his role as the owner and Chief Storyteller of Sincbox Media since 1999, where he has collaborated with industry giants like Proctor & Gamble, Visa, and Microsoft.
How many grandchildren does Suzanne Somers have?
Suzanne married again, this time to Alan Hamel in 1977, resulting in Bruce gaining two additional siblings, Leslie and Stephen, from Hamel's previous relationship.
Bruce got married too, in due time, in 1991. His wife is chef and cookbook author Caroline Somers and they are the proud parents of two daughters, Camelia and Violet.
In touching social media posts, Bruce occasionally offers glimpses of his family's life, from celebrating Violet's graduation in 2021 to commemorating Camelia's 28th birthday in 2023.
On their 29th wedding anniversary in September 2020, Bruce expressed his deep affection for Caroline, sharing a wedding day photo and a heartfelt caption that revealed their enduring love.
Suzanne, too, embraced her role as a grandmother with enthusiasm, quipping, "You're a parent with none of the responsibility of being a parent."
She cherished the opportunity to love and nurture her six grandchildren from Bruce, Leslie and Stephen, rekindling the magic of parenthood in her golden years.
Suzanne Somers depended on Bruce as her family's 'Gadget Guy'
In a heartwarming episode of Suzanne's talk show, 'The Suzanne Show,' in 2012, the mother-son duo showcased their close-knit relationship. Bruce, Suzanne's go-to tech support person, was affectionately dubbed "The Gadget Guy."
As he demonstrated how to share a post on Instagram, he couldn't resist sneaking in compliments, hailing Suzanne as the "hippest grandmother."
Their interactions illustrated a bond that was not just familial but also marked by shared interests and an unwavering connection.
