Carol Burnett has been married to her third husband, Brian Miller, for more than 20 years. After two earlier marriages ended, she found lasting happiness with Miller, whom she married in 2001. Despite a 20-year age difference, she has said their relationship has only grown stronger over time.
Burnett is best known for The Carol Burnett Show, which made her one of television’s most respected entertainers. Even in her 90s, she continues to work and says staying active brings her joy and purpose.
Behind her success, Burnett has faced serious family challenges. One of her daughters struggled with addiction for many years, which placed heavy strain on the family and required difficult decisions.
Because of these struggles, Burnett and her husband took legal guardianship of her grandson, Dylan. She explained the decision was made to protect his health, education, and stability, while still allowing him to maintain a relationship with his parents.
Burnett also suffered a deep personal loss when her youngest daughter died from cancer in 2002. Despite grief and hardship, she says she accepts her life as it unfolded. She remains devoted to her family, grateful for her career, and committed to continuing work as long as it brings her happiness.
