Rosanne was only 11 years old when John Cash divorced from Liberto, and his four daughters accepted Carter with open arms.
Carter had to two children from a previous marriage and shared a son with Cash as well. Carter once said in an interview that she gave birth to three, but is a mother-of-seven.
