Sarah Jakes Roberts' children are growing up gracefully in a blended family of eight. Before she and her husband met, they had kids from previous relationships, though Sarah's journey into parenthood wasn't without its challenges. But that's history; now, the mother of six is guiding her young ones to greatness.

Sarah Jakes Roberts may be known as one of Pastor T.D. Jakes's children, but the 30-something-year-old has made her own mark in the world. Although she has donned many hats, including author, motivational speaker, and media personality, Sarah is chiefly known for sharing her most troubling experiences and utilizing them to uplift others.

Having fallen pregnant for the first time at 14, the preacher's daughter battled depression and emotional turmoil amid vicious rumors and backlash from the media. Although it was a dark period that threatened to define the rest of her life, it also served as an eye-opener for Sarah, leading her to re-examine and redefine her faith and self-worth.

She has married twice in her life, welcoming two of her own biological children from previous relationships and one with her current husband. She co-leads three more in a blended family of eight, and all her kids are making moves for a promising future.

Sarah Jakes Roberts Had Two Children before Meeting Her Current Husband

Sarah's first child is her son, Malachi Jakes, born in October 2002. When he turned 17 in 2019, she marveled at how much he had grown in a touching birthday tribute, saying he brought value to every room he entered. She also featured Malachi in a reflective #flashbackfriday post in May 2020, looking back at her early start in motherhood and more.

The 20-year-old has an active social media presence, where he once shared his mental health struggles. In a July 2022 post, he honored a dark period in his life; the year before, he was battling depression and said he often isolated himself, something he called "self-sabotage." But a year later, he was celebrating that he was finally "starting to live his dream."

Sarah's second child is her daughter Makenzie, born in her first marriage to NFL star Robert Henson. The former couple had married in 2008 in a dreamy wedding attended by Tyler Perry. But after an unhappy union, they divorced in 2012.

Makenzie started eighth grade in 2022 alongside her younger sister, Ella, who joined that year's second graders. Last November, she accompanied her mom to the Fall Festival, as Sarah shared on Instagram. The author joked that she was "doing okay" after Makenzie abandoned her to enjoy the event with her teen friends.

Ella Is the Youngest of Sarah Jakes Roberts' Children

Ella was born in 2016 to Sarah and her current husband, Toure Roberts; the couple married in November 2014. When her mother discovered she was pregnant with her, the "Angelina" producer said she was overwhelmed with emotion. Still, more than anything, she was excited about "the unique individuality and impact our new addition is sure to bring to our family."

And indeed, Ella is a unique one. The youngster is a budding ballerina who enjoys motorcycle rides with her dad and doesn't like being coached, as her mom (also one of five siblings, similar to Kirk Franklin's brood, which includes Kerrion Franklin) humorously shared after the Fall Festival.

Sarah Jakes Roberts Has A Good Relationship with Toure Roberts' Children

Before meeting Sarah, Toure had also been married. In his former union, he welcomed three children, daughters Ren and Teya and son Isaiah. Ren is a podcaster, married to Pastor Tyler Headlee, and Teya is a blogger. Together, the sisters collaborate on their joint podcast, "Generation One."

Last October, Sarah, Ren, Tyler, and Toures looked excited as they prepared to spend quality time on a night out, indicating a strong familial bond. But, unlike his family, Isaiah has avoided the spotlight and doesn't appear to have any social media accounts. However, he was labeled an actor in 2015 when he attended the "Woodlawn" premiere at the Regency Bruin Theater in Westwood, CA.
