Inside Sawyer Gilbert-Adler's Birth and Family
Sawyer Gilbert-Adler was born on August 2, 2007, becoming a treasured addition to actress Sara Gilbert and her then-partner Allison Adler's family. She has an older brother named Levi.
Sawyer has a passion for music, and her journey began with mandatory piano lessons, a decision that was not met with initial enthusiasm.
As the child of a celebrity, Sawyer found herself thrust into the spotlight at an early age. One of the initial public glimpses featured her mother tenderly cradling her while navigating the bustling corridors of LAX airport in 2008.
This endearing snapshot captured them as they readied to catch a flight. Sawyer was about to celebrate her first birthday at the time. Sawyer's older brother, Levi, similarly experienced life under the media's watchful gaze during his childhood.
Levi was pictured with his mother as she picked him up from school. In another candid instance, his mom was spotted in Los Angeles, walking alongside Levi while carrying then-eight-month-old Sawyer.
In another situation, Levi, his mother, and the latter's then six-month-old son Rhodes were seen enjoying a breakfast outing at a cafe in Beverly Hills. Levi has rarely been in the public eye as an adult.
Sawyer's Parents Broke Up
After ten years together, Sawyer's parents, who had been in a relationship since 2001, decided to go their separate ways in 2011. At the time of the couple's split, Saywer was four, and Levi was six.
Sara, who had gained recognition from her role in "Roseanne" and continued her career as a co-host on "The Talk," publicly revealed her relationship with Adler in 2010. At a Television Critics Association gathering in Los Angeles, Sawyer's mom openly spoke about her life as a lesbian.
Despite the decision to split, animosity seemed to have no place in this chapter of their story. According to Sara's representative, the breakup was "completely amicable." Their children remained at the heart of their decisions, as the former couple intended to share custody of the youngsters.

Sara Gilbert's Daughter Is a Talented Musician
Sawyer has a passion for music, and her journey began with mandatory piano lessons, a decision that was not met with initial enthusiasm. Her celebrity mom shared on "The Talk" in 2018 that she was not eager to learn the piano at age eight.
The actress eventually encouraged Sawyer to stick with it until she was 12 or 13, assuring her it was worth the effort. Over time, Sawyer's feelings for music changed.
Sawyer found herself not only enjoying the piano but also thanking her mom for her guidance. But her talents don't stop at the piano keys. Sawyer also possesses a remarkable gift as a talented vocalist.
Sawyer won the hearts of many with her heartfelt performance on "The Talk" in 2019, a tribute to her mother, who was bidding farewell as a co-host. Sawyer stole the spotlight with her heartfelt gesture.
Sara and her co-host Sharon Osbourne were joined on stage by Sawyer and her mom's ex-wife, renowned musician Linda Perry. With Linda gracefully guiding the melody on the piano, Sawyer stepped into the spotlight and sang the original song, "Mama."
Sara's emotions were clearly stirred as her daughter earnestly serenaded her in the TV show. In a touching moment with her mother, Sawyer said:
"She thinks we are playing 'Shallow,' but I didn't think that was special enough, so I wrote you a song."

Leaving "The Talk" posed a challenging choice for Sawyer's mom, as she enjoyed the moments shared with her co-hosts. Her departure from the show was motivated by her aspiration to dedicate herself to her career as an actress and producer.
Above all, Sara wants to spend more quality time with her children. Singer Marie Osmond took over Sara's position, rounding out the ensemble of primary hosts on the show: Osbourne, Carrie Underwood, Eve, and Carrie Ann Inaba.
