Meet Former President Jimmy Carter’s Children With Beloved Wife Rosalynn

Former President Jimmy Carter and his wife, Rosalynn Carter, got married in 1946. At the time of their marriage, Carter was serving in the US Navy and the couple welcomed their first three children during his naval service. They had John in 1947 and their second son, James, in 1950. Donnell was born in 1952, and Amy, Carter’s only daughter, followed fifteen years later in 1967. Before becoming president, Carter was the Governor of Georgia from 1971 to 1975.

Amidst his responsibilities and commitments, Carter prioritized family alongside Rosalynn. “We try to be reconciled before we go to sleep at night and try to find everything we can think of that we like to do together,” Carter told CNN in 2015. “So, we have a lot of good times. We have a big family now. We have 22 grandchildren and great-grandchildren, 38 of us in all. So, we try to hold our family together and just enjoy the family life.” Meet former president Jimmy Carter’s four children, and learn a thing or two about them.
