Johnny Argent Was Once Scared to Show His Face to Roseanne Barr - They Have Been Dating for Almost 2 Decades

Blessed with a talent for creating music, Johnny Argent is used to being in the spotlight, although he has an introverted personality. He once had to muster a lot of courage and persistent encouragement from his longtime partner to emerge from his hiding place.

Johnny Argent is rarely seen on television or in public despite being famous for his accomplishments in the entertainment industry. He is a brilliant composer and music arranger, producer, and writer.

He has numerous writing credits to his name, but his most notable works were for the shows of his longtime partner, actress and comedian Roseanne Barr, such as "Tipping Point and Rockin' with Roseanne."

Johnny Argent Took a Year to Finally Agree & Meet Roseanne Barr in Person

It took some time for Argent to meet Barr in person finally. He only got acquainted with the seasoned actress through a writing contest she hosted on her blog back in 2002.

The Hollywood comedian once described Argent as a "hermit." He was a recluse because he disliked socializing and preferred to spend his time alone, immersed in reading his books.

Even though Argent kept a mysterious air for a long time, he could still win Barr's affection with just the sound of his voice. He spent a year talking to the acclaimed actress over the phone.

During a few phone conversations, Barr made several attempts to persuade Argent to meet up with her; however, she was unsuccessful because he was concerned that his presence would disappoint her. Barr recalled:

"He would never send a picture so I thought, 'He's Quasimodo, but I don't care.'"

After much thought and consideration, Argent ultimately agreed to Barr's request to meet her. The comedian told him that she didn't care about how he looked or that he had a disability.

When Argent and Barr finally met, the comedy actress described him as the most handsome man she had ever seen, nearly driving her insane. The musician's featured exceeded Barr's expectations.

Before starting his relationship with the TV actress, Argent had never been married to anyone else.

Argent does not make many appearances in public, even though he knows that Barr is a prominent figure. He has kept his relationship with Barr completely private, even living in a place away from the public's prying eyes.

Barr owns two homes in El Segundo, California, but the couple has been residing in Hawaii, where they have maintained a peaceful lifestyle. They also chose to live in Hawaii as it matched their description of "kindred spirits."

Like Argent, Barr rarely opens up about their romantic life in public interviews, but she makes up for it by posting several photos of her handsome beau on her social media accounts.

The longtime couple appears to be making the most of every opportunity to have fun. They were seen dancing close together and sipping glasses of red wine at a music festival in Los Angeles.

Even though they have been together for almost two decades, Argent has yet to tie the knot with Barr. Before starting his relationship with the TV actress, Argent had never been married to anyone else.

Argent is, as always, Barr's most vocal and consistent supporter. Roseanne Barr was devastated when her TV show "Roseanne" was canceled due to racist remarks she made on Twitter that impacted netizens.
