Who Is Johnny Argent?
Roseanne met Johnny in 2002 when he entered a writing competition that was hosted on her blog.
“My boyfriend and I are kindred spirits,” she told The Guardian in October 2008. “He is feminine in a way. When he used to write for me, he lived in the desert. He was like a hermit just with his books.”
After a year of talking on the phone, they met up in person for the first time and quickly hit it off.
“He flew in and I was waiting at the airport in a car with a driver,” she continued. “He’s crazy like me, he doesn’t go outside very much. I was thinking, ‘Why have I done this?’ and he opened the door and I almost lost my mind. He was the most handsome man I’ve ever seen.”
Johnny has earned multiple credits as a writer and producer, per IMDb. Since they first met, the duo collaborated on several TV specials, including The Tipping Point and Rockin’ With Roseanne. In March 2007, they moved to Hawaii after she purchased a home built on a 46-acre plot of land.
