She Threw Out Her Baby With The Bath Water
So what was behind Roseanne’s breakup with husband number three, Ben Thomas?
Seems the last straw was when the 6-foot-2, 240-pound Thomas, her former bodyguard, returned home drunk on New Year’s Eve and apparently acted in a threatening manner.

They were married on Valentine’s Day in 1995, and it seems like only yesterday that Thomas was telling TV Guide: “One of my rituals is to prepare Roseanne’s bath water. I light candles and toss in rose petals. I make her breakfast in bed.”
