Glenn and his wife Barbara Thore, aka Babs, got married on August 6, 1977. The pair had a long and successful marriage that resulted in their two kids, Whitney and Hunter. Before Babs’ death, she and Glenn frequently appeared on the show since its premiere in 2015 and have been a rock for their daughter as she navigates life in front of the cameras.

In Season 11, the show took fans by storm when Whitney mentioned she had a half-sister from her father. Showing her sister’s baby picture, Whitney revealed that Glenn’s other daughter, Angie, was a child out of wedlock. Angie, whose full name is Angela Burdett, was born before Glenn and Babs got married and was the result of a short affair between Glenn and an 18-year-old woman named Jackie.

Jackie gave birth to Angie and gave her up for adoption. Since their reunion, Whitney has acted as the glue, helping her father build a connection with her half-sister. She also remained in contact with Angie and even celebrated her niece’s bachelorette party.
