Who is Sam Baum?

Sam Baum is an actor and producer. As per his IMDb profile, he has worked in 'Life's Work' (1996), 'Temps' (1999) and 'Law & Order' (1990). 

Baum has also worked as a writer and producer on several other TV shows, including the crime drama 'The Cleaner' and the medical drama 'Chicago Med'.

He has been nominated for several awards throughout his career, including a Writers Guild of America Award for his work on 'Parenthood'.

Walter and Baum split in 1999 and the latter recently married Chelsea Hlavach Baum in 2022.

Meanwhile, Lisa Ann Walter has never disclosed the identity of her other husband.

Lisa Ann Walter once opened up about her failed marriages

In an interactive session with Cosmopolitan, Walter once opened up about her failed marriages. She said, "I have great friends who have been throught it all: two kids, a divorce when I was 36, two more kids, another divorce when I was 42."

She revealed that her first husband was gay while her second husband was a cheater. Walter was quoted by Cosmopolitan saying, "My second husband was....not quite as nice. The joke I make is I have two ex-husbands. The first one was a lovely Jewish man, and it turned out we had too much in common- he also liked men. The second one was a cheater, which is not technically a religion, but he practiced it like it was."

Though she didn't clearly mention which category Sam Baum fell under, one can connect the dots as Walter was 36 when she divorced Baum in 1999.

How many children does Lisa Ann Walter have? 

Apart from a remarkable acting career, Walter has successfully raised four beautiful children, including identical twins. Walter, from her marriage with Baum, had a son Jordan in 1988 and a daughter Delia in 1992.

On October 11, 2000, she gave birth to twin sons- Spencer and Simon Walter. The proud mother occasionally flaunts her children on Instagram, sharing cute throwback photos from their childhood.
