Cheryl Ladd and David Ladd's Daughter: The Talented Jordan Ladd
Cheryl and David tied the knot in 1973, and two years later, they welcomed their only child together, Jordan Ladd. Cheryl, known for her role in Josie and the Pussycats, and David, a film producer, went their separate ways in 1980. But growing up in a household full of showbiz magic, Jordan developed a deep love for movies from a very young age. In an interview with Mediamikes.com back in October 2010, she explained how being part of a creative family shaped her. "When you grow up in showbiz, you kind of sign for your supper. It reinforces creativity," she said. "If you’re in trouble, you find a way out by writing a song or a play. I’ve always loved movies and filmmaking. I wasn’t looking to be a song-and-dance girl on Broadway, but I genuinely love movies. It’s what I know and love."
In 1994, Jordan made her mark on television, portraying Debbie in an episode of Saved by the Bell: The New Class. Five years later, she starred alongside Drew Barrymore in the movie Never Been Kissed. Jordan’s career continued to flourish with roles in films like The Specials in 2000, Cabin Fever in 2002, and Club Dread in 2004. In 2018, Cheryl and Jordan shared the screen in The Christmas Contract, a heartwarming moment for both mother and daughter. Cheryl, in an interview with Closer, gushed about the experience. “It was the most time we’ve spent together since she left home,” Cheryl said. “We’re great friends and have adult-women conversations. She’s unlike anyone else and knows how to make me laugh.”

In 2001, Jordan married Conor O’Neill, a film editor known for his work on movies like Moneyball, Falling Up, and Foxcatcher. Unfortunately, the couple divorced in 2005 and did not have any children together.
Cheryl’s Stepdaughter: Lindsay Russell, the Bonus Mom
Cheryl found love again in 1981 when she married Brian Russell, and became a stepmom to his daughter, Lindsay Russell. Lindsay is a mom to three kids: Nehemiah, Judah, and Kailah. Cheryl has nurtured a close relationship with both her daughter and stepdaughter over the years. In a June 2022 interview with Closer, Cheryl spoke fondly about her relationship with Jordan. “We are crazy about each other! It’s just so lovely to be this age and have an adult daughter,” Cheryl said. “She’ll always be my baby, but she’s also one of my very best friends. My other daughter is Lindsay. I’ve been her stepmom, or ‘bonus mom,’ as she calls me since she was 4.”
Cheryl isn’t surprised by Jordan’s career path, given her upbringing. “She had a clearer awareness and understanding of the business than I did when I left South Dakota and got to California,” Cheryl said. “She’s also a wonderful actress. I wasn’t surprised by that. It was kind of in the DNA.”
