Being the mather of the two main characters on the show, this female presence did not go unnoticed.

We the fans gave her the tag of goal-digger.

Unfortunately, Charlie can also relate to his character in that none of them end up having long-lasting relationships. Jennifer is today married to Paul Taylor and has two kids. After leaving the show she starred in TV shows such as Mom and Shameless.
