Shepherd, do you have a husband?
Shepherd has had two spouses but has had a swarm of partners.
In her book, she claimed that in 1978, she contacted her mother, crying
and disappointed with the course of her life and profession.
Shepherd returned to Memphis when her mother requested her to.
She met and fell in love with David M. Ford, a local auto parts merchant, and nightclub performer, while there.
That year, she became pregnant, and the couple married. Their daughter, Clementine Ford, was born in 1979.
Unfortunately, the marriage ended in divorce in 1982.
After becoming pregnant by him five years later, the actress married chiropractor Bruce Oppenheim in 1987.
They had twins Cyrus Zachariah and Molly Ariel Shepherd-Oppenheim
during the fourth season of Moonlighting. Shepherd’s marriage ended in divorce once more in 1990.
Cybill Shepherd and her two children
Shepherd is a doting mother, and she is constantly worrying about her children.
In fact, the Cybill star stated that when she was fighting illness in the early 2000s
and had a near-death experience, all she could think about was her children.
She described the harrowing experience during a 2015 interview on Today.
She claimed that she wanted to die but couldn’t for the sake of her three children.
“I felt my soul go up to a star,” she claimed. ‘You can’t go there; you have three children,’ I remarked.
Return down there. You have to keep alive.'”
Shepherd had emergency treatment for skin cancer and is doing better than ever as of 2022, according to People.
She is still preoccupied with her children, and all they do is make their mother proud.
Everything we know about Shepherd’s children is listed below.

Shepherd’s only son is Cyrus Zachariah Shepherd-Oppenheim.
He was born on October 6, 1987, as Ariel’s twin brother.
Cyrus has maintained the most low-key existence of Cybill’s three children,
avoiding the spotlight as much as possible. He has, however, graced a few red carpets throughout the years.
He made news in 2010 after being jailed on theft charges, according to CBS News.
According to NBC, Cyrus was returning to Philadelphia to study pre-law
at the University of Pennsylvania when the incident occurred.
Cyrus was sentenced to attend AA meetings and pay $55 in restitution after his
defense attorney, Bill Brennan, argued that the accusations were “serious yet modest.”
“The matter is basically put in limbo for a year,” the attorney noted at the time.
He promised that before the end of the year, all charges would be withdrawn and his arrest record erased.
