What Barbara Eden Is Up To Today

Publish date: 2024-05-02

After finding stardom as Jeannie in "I Dream of Jeannie," Barbara Eden spent the next several decades working regularly. Primarily in TV shows and TV movies, Eden ran the gamut from "Harper Valley P.T.A" to playing Aunt Irma in the TGIF hit sitcom "Sabrina the Teenage Witch."

Despite her celebrity status, Eden has also had her fair share of tragic life events. She has been married three times and shared a son named Matthew with her first husband. Tragically, Matthew died at 35 in 2001 from a drug overdose. "We had a child at last and we loved him more than words could say," she wrote in her autobiography "Jeannie Out of the Bottle" via Closer Weekly. "Our joy was boundless, and our hopes that he would live a healthy and happy life were unlimited. Matthew meant everything to both of us and always would."

Eden told the outlet that she and her husband of 30 years Jon Eicholtz love to travel the world together. Eicholtz and Eden share a low-key life together away from the buzz of Hollywood–though Eden does return to work from time to time. Her last credit was as Mrs. Claus in the 2019 film "My Adventures With Santa," per IMDb.
