On 1984, the duo welcomed their first daughter Isabel Cowles, who has chosen her career as a lawyer. Three years later, in 1987, Mr. and Mrs. Cowles were blessed with another angel, Lily Cowles, an actress like her mom.

Death Broke Their Marital Bond Aparts!

A native of Buffalo, Jane lost her husband on May 22, 2014, due to congestive cardiac failure. Mamma Mia's Baranski was married to her husband until his demise at the age of 69 in New York City, United States. 

The couple stayed married for three decades with no rumors or disputes about their married life.

Mrs. Baranski's Daughters

The husband-wife duo shared two children from their marital solidarity. Their first child Isabel Cowels grew up to become a lawyer, something different from what is expected coming from the family of entertainers. Christine revealed to be a grandma to her two grandsons from her eldest daughter. Apart from that, no other personal information has been revealed as she's living a low key life away from the spotlight.

The couple's second-born child, Lily Cowles chose her career to be the same as their parents. Lily is the Oxford University graduate in Anthropology. Following the footsteps of her parents, she opted to choose acting as her profession.

Lily is best known for her works in BrainDead (2016), True Story (2015) and Roswell, New Mexico (2019). The rising actress is currently single and not linked in any relationship with other men.  It seems like she has no plans to exchange the wedding vows any time soon.

The Net worth of Christine Baranski

The Good Wife actress, Baranski holds an impressive net worth of $14 millions similar to Marc Cohn. Jane is actively involved in the entertainment industry since 1974 and is starred in numerous hit films and TV series like Mamma Mia alongside Rita Wilson.
