Who is Roisin Waters? Meet Sinead O’Connor and John Waters’ Only Daughter!

Roisin Waters is the Irish celebrity daughter, who has been in headlines for a very long time. She is the only daughter of singer Sinead O’Connor and columnist John Waters.

Roisin’s Parents Never Married

Sinead and John, Roisin’s parents, never married. They gave birth to her while dating, but never tied the knot because of frequent misunderstandings.

Sinead and John dated in 1995, and because of internal conflicts, they parted ways within a year in 1996. However, she already had Roisin in her belly.

Her parents both wanted custody of her, however, none were ready to co-parent. After an ugly battle over Roisin’s guardianship, John got custody of his daughter.

Her Parents Moved On

Roisin’s father has moved on and now is married to Rita Simons. John and Rita exchanged rings and vows in 2014. From this marriage, her father does not have any children.
