Patricia Heaton children: Meet Joseph Charles Hunt, John Basil Hunt, Daniel Patrick Hunt, and Samuel David Hunt
Patricia’s eldest son was born on September 1, 1993, kicking off the actress’s delightful motherhood journey. Samuel, also known as Sam, has yet to pursue a career in show business, and it appears that he does not spend much of his time in the spotlight.
On May 15, 1995, John, the second son, was born. But, like Sam, there’s not much to know about John because he prefers to keep his life low-key. Luckily, he will occasionally appear on his mother’s social media pages.
Joe, the third child, is the most at ease son with his mother’s celebrity status. Joe is quite obsessed with flaunting his fun life on social media, in addition to joining Patricia at a number of red carpet events over the years.
When it comes to the glitz and glamour of Hollywood, Daniel, Patricia’s fourth son, appears to be too shy, unlike Joe, as he’s attended a few events by Patricia’s side, such as the IMF 11th Annual Comedy Celebration in 2017.
