How many children does Jessica Tarlov have?

Jessica and Brian share two children.

Following their wedding, the two welcomed their first daughter, Cleo Markie McKenna, on December 11, 2021.

The Five’s Dana Perino announced the birth of Jessica’s daughter saying she was born “weighing 8lbs 7oz.”

She also went on to reveal that Cleo’s middle name Markie was chosen to honor Jessica’s late father, Mark, who passed away in July 2021.

On January 10, 2024, Jessica announced her second pregnancy on live television. She confirmed her second daughter would arrive in April.

On April 15, The Five hosts announced that Jessica had welcomed her second daughter – Teddy.

Co-host Dana Perino said: “Enjoy your time with your baby. We can’t wait to meet her and then to have you back.”

What started as a goofy comedy bit turned into a moment no one saw coming. Jim Breuer was in the middle of his wild AC/DC parody—voices flying, the crowd laughing—when everything flipped. Out of nowhere, Brian Johnson himself showed up. Not to shut it down, but to crank it up. The real voice of AC/DC stepped on stage, and what followed was pure rock madness. Breuer and Johnson didn’t just perform—they exploded into a roaring, headbanging, laugh-out-loud jam session that felt like a dream. Guitars screamed, jokes flew, and fans went absolutely nuts. It wasn’t just funny. It was electric. A once-in-a-lifetime mashup of rock ‘n’ roll and raw, ridiculous fun.
After decades of rocking the world, Aerosmith said their final goodbye—loud, raw, and full of heart. At UBS Arena in New York, they played their last show, and it felt like time stood still. When “Walk This Way” kicked in, the crowd exploded—it wasn’t just music, it was history. Steven Tyler and Joe Perry gave it everything, and just when you thought it was over, the band surprised Perry with a birthday tribute. One last bow, one unforgettable night. The music may have stopped, but the memory won’t fade.
Ann Wilson, the powerhouse voice of Heart, didn’t just perform at Royal Albert Hall—she shook the place. At 65, she hit the stage and blew everyone away with “Alone.” Her voice was bold, raw, perfect—drowning out today’s auto-tuned stars. But the real surprise? Mid-song, she invited a young music student to join her. The crowd froze. Then they sang together—and the hall lit up. Backed by the Royal Philharmonic, their duet was pure magic. Even Prince William jumped to his feet, clapping like a true fan. By morning, the moment was everywhere online. Millions of views. Tears, chills, cheers. One night. Two voices. One unforgettable reminder: true talent only grows stronger with time.
