Patrick Duffy is popularly known for his role as Bobby Ewing on the 1978 to 1991 CBS primetime soap opera, Dallas. The Hollywood star, who has appeared in various iconic shows, is also a doting father to his two sons, Padraic and Conor, who he shares with his late wife, Carlyn Rosser. Patrick tied the knot with Carlyn, his only wife, in 1974 and in the same year they welcomed their first son, Padraic. Four years later, the couple birthed their second son.
Patrick and Carlyn were together for 43 years before she passed away at the age of 78 in 2017. Ever since, his children and their families have become his companions, “His sons and their families are over all the time. He hates being alone, so they’re a wonderfully close family. He loves having them around,” an insider disclosed to Closer in 2019.
