Who is Barbara Sherwood?
Sherwood is a television director and producer. Her IMDb page lists directing credits on CW Now (2007), Extra on Essence (2009), and Very Funny News (2011). Earlier, she worked on Extra, the syndicated celebrity news show, which is where she and Latibeaudiere first crossed paths.
A few things worth knowing about her:
- She has directed for Extra, CW Now, Extra on Essence, and Very Funny News.
- Her career has been spent behind the camera in entertainment programming.
- She has no verified public social media and has never spoken to the press about her marriage.
For a woman married to one of the most visible people at TMZ, Sherwood has left a thin public trail. What there is points to a working television professional, not a celebrity by association.
How Charles and Barbara met
The two met at work in the early 2000s. Both were on the production side of Extra, he as a supervising producer and she as a director on the same show. They were colleagues first, sharing the daily grind of a program that aired five days a week, and the relationship grew from there.
The 2004 wedding
Latibeaudiere and Sherwood married on June 26, 2004, at a venue called The Catalina Room in Rancho Palos Verdes, California.
Most of the public record of the marriage comes from Latibeaudiere himself. He has posted a few wedding photos from that day on Instagram, usually around the anniversary, marking 12 years together in June 2016 and 13 the following June. Those posts are about the only firsthand glimpse anyone outside the family has gotten.
One detail gets muddled in a lot of the coverage online. Latibeaudiere bought a condo in Hermosa Beach in December 2003, roughly six months before the wedding. He bought it on his own as a single man, though some articles frame it as the couple’s first home.
Do they have children?
There is no public confirmation that Latibeaudiere and Sherwood have children, and neither has spoken about it. The reliable coverage notes the absence of any record rather than claiming kids either way, so the accurate answer is that it simply has not been documented. No report of a separation or divorce has surfaced either, which leaves a marriage past the two-decade mark with very little on the public record.
The money questions that tend to follow are murkier still. Net worth figures attached to Latibeaudiere range from a few hundred thousand dollars to 15 million depending on the site, none of it tied to a verifiable source. Numbers that scattered are guesses, and there is no reason to trust any single one.
Charles Latibeaudiere’s role at TMZ
Latibeaudiere is one of the most familiar faces at TMZ. He was born on September 12, 1969, in the Bronx, studied broadcast journalism at Arizona State University, and worked as a supervising producer on Extra before TMZ moved from a website to a television show in 2007. He has been there ever since, appearing on TMZ on TV, TMZ Live, TMZ No BS, and the 2024 series TMZ Investigates, where he is credited as an executive producer. He was on camera as recently as this April, in the TMZ office when Nick Cannon stopped by to rib Harvey Levin.
That career is what makes the quiet around his marriage stand out. Latibeaudiere has spent more than two decades putting other people’s relationships on television. His own has stayed almost entirely off it. After more than 20 years together, the fullest public account of his marriage to Barbara Sherwood is still a handful of anniversary photos he chose to post himself.
