Tatum O’Neal’s marriage with John McEnroe lasted for just a handful of years, but the love that she has for the three children the union produce will continue until the end of time. Tatum, the Oscar-winner for her role in 1976’s ‘Paper Moon,’ was married to the tennis icon from 1986 to 1994. During that time, they welcomed son Kevin McEnroe (1986), son Kevin McEnroe (1987) and daughter Emily McEnroe (1991.)

 

Tatum’s relationship with her children has, as of 2023, remained strong, but it wasn’t always that way. She lost custody of her children in the 1990s due to her addiction to cocaine and heroin. She would suffer a prescription drug overdose in 2020 that left her in a coma. Though being the children of a notoriously angry tennis pro and a former child star battling addictions left them with traumas, the children have found their paths in life and have remained by their mom’s side.
