During 2014's "Barbara Walters: Her Story," Barbara Walters said she regretted not spending more time with her daughter, Jacqueline Dena Guber. "On your deathbed, are you going to say, 'I wish I spent more time in the office?' No. You'll say, 'I wish I spent more time with my family,' and I do feel that way. I wish I had spent more time with my Jackie," Walters said, via ABC News Radio.

And in a 2004 interview with Oprah, Walters' opened up about her relationship with her daughter. She said, "I love babies. Jackie used to say that she had to watch me in the park 'cause I'd kidnap one. My daughter doesn't particularly want to have children. I would love to have a grandchild. I've told her, 'Have a grandchild and give it to me." Walters went on to say, "But I understand women who don't want children. That's one of the good things about our society today. Nobody says, 'You don't want children? What's wrong with you?'"

Jackie runs a wilderness camp for teens in Maine, per NBC News, so there are young people in her life, though Walters doesn't have any grandchildren through Jackie. "Jackie adores what she does. She feels these [girls she works with] are her kids. And she doesn't want to have children. I did — desperately. If you don't want them desperately, and you've got a big career, don't have them," Walters said to Oprah.
