Roan Howard Cassidy is a name that many websites attach to the son of singer, actor, and television producer Shaun Cassidy, yet no reference source reviewed for this article names a child called Roan. Wikipedia says Shaun Cassidy has seven children, but it lists no first names and no birth years. The pages that do use the name give no birth date, no school, and no career, and most of them repeat the same few sentences. This guide explains what sources confirm about the Cassidy family, shows where the Roan claims conflict with the record, and helps readers decide which details deserve trust.

Roan Howard Cassidy at a Glance
Roan Howard Cassidy is a name without a verified biography behind it. Several websites present him as a private son of Shaun Cassidy who has avoided public life, and they say he has no known career and no public social media. One of those pages states that his date of birth is not publicly disclosed, and that admission sums up the whole record.
The family around the name is real and well documented. Shaun Cassidy comes from a famous acting family, and Wikipedia describes his parents, his brothers, and his three marriages in detail. The gap lies between that family record and the specific claim that a child named Roan exists, because no reference source connects the two.
What Profile Websites Say About Roan
At least eight websites with nearly identical headlines publish pages about Roan Howard Cassidy. They call him the son of Shaun Cassidy and the actress Susan Diol, and they describe his grandparents as Jack Cassidy and Shirley Jones. Several call David Cassidy his late half uncle. None of them cites a birth record, an interview, or a statement from the family.
The pages also agree on what they do not know. They say his education, hobbies, and daily life are not covered, and they say he seems to prefer a quiet life. A claim that a family has chosen privacy is a guess unless someone from the family says so, and none of the pages names such a source. The shared wording suggests that the sites copy one another.
Shaun Cassidy and His Career
Shaun Cassidy became famous in the late 1970s as a teen idol who also acted and wrote songs. Wikipedia credits him with playing Joe Hardy in the ABC series The Hardy Boys/Nancy Drew Mysteries from 1977 to 1979. His cover of the song Da Doo Ron Ron reached number one on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1977, which made him one of the best known young performers of the decade.
He later moved behind the camera. Wikipedia says he created the series American Gothic with Sam Raimi, which aired in 1995 and 1996 and became his first television pilot. In 1997 he created and executive produced Roar, a series that starred Heath Ledger. Those credits show a career that shifted from performing to producing, and they explain why his family draws curiosity.
Parents Jack Cassidy and Shirley Jones
Shaun Cassidy is the son of Jack Cassidy, a Tony Award winning actor, and Shirley Jones, an Academy Award winning actress. Both parents built successful careers on stage and screen, and their names appear in nearly every profile of the family. Those facts come from Wikipedia and match across reliable sources.
The profile pages about Roan lean on this background. They list Jack Cassidy and Shirley Jones as his grandparents because the claim follows from the claim that he is Shaun’s son. If the first claim fails, the second collapses with it. For that reason, readers should treat the grandparent line as a consequence of an unconfirmed link and not as separate evidence.
The Cassidy Brothers
Wikipedia names three of Shaun’s brothers. David Cassidy is the elder half brother, and Patrick Cassidy and Ryan Cassidy are younger brothers. David Cassidy became a teen idol of the early 1970s, and he died in 2017 at age 67, according to news coverage from that year.
The brothers’ careers explain why searches for the family run high. A reader who looks up one Cassidy often lands on pages about the others, and content websites then build pages for every relative they can name. The pattern produces names like Roan Howard, which sound plausible and leave no record trail.
Shaun Cassidy’s Three Marriages
Wikipedia lists three marriages for Shaun Cassidy. He married Ann Pennington, a model and former Playboy playmate, in 1979, and the two divorced in 1993. He married the actress Susan Diol in 1995 and divorced her in 2003. In 2004 he married the producer Tracey Lynne Turner, and the entry lists that marriage without an end date.
The dates matter because they test every claim about a child. A child born during one marriage has a mother who must be one of three women, and Wikipedia states the number of children for each. That structure gives readers a simple way to check a story: the mother named for a child must fit the count in the reference entry.
Seven Children and No Names
Wikipedia says Shaun Cassidy has seven children in total. Two come from the marriage to Pennington, one daughter comes from the marriage to Diol, and four come from the marriage to Turner. The entry names none of them and gives no birth years.
That silence is typical of reference sources, which often leave out the names of private adults and minors. It also means that no one can confirm or deny a child named Roan from the Wikipedia entry alone. The honest summary is that the name remains unconfirmed, and readers should not read the absence of a name as proof that no such child exists.
The Susan Diol Conflict
The profile pages name Susan Diol as Roan’s mother, and that claim runs into the Wikipedia count. The entry says Shaun and Diol had one daughter. A son named Roan therefore cannot belong to that marriage, if the Wikipedia count is right.
Roan could still be a child of the Pennington or Turner marriages, since those marriages produced six children between them. Either the profile pages attach the wrong mother, or the name is invented, or the count in the encyclopedia is incomplete. This research cannot decide among those options, and that uncertainty is the main finding of the article.
Age and Birth Details
No reliable source gives a birth date or birth year for Roan Howard Cassidy. One profile page says his date of birth is not publicly disclosed, and others give no age at all. Without a year, no one can say how old he is in October 2026.
Readers will find sites that offer an age, but those figures have no basis in a record. A page that states an exact age for a private person, with no date and no source, has estimated it or made it up. The safe approach is to leave the age blank until a family member or a record supplies it.
Career and Education Claims
The profile pages say that nothing is known about Roan’s work. They ask whether he works in entertainment, behind the scenes, or in a field far from Hollywood, and then they decline to answer. Some pages add that he may still be studying, which is another guess.
Responsible writers fill such gaps with questions and not with claims. No credit list, school record, or news report supports any job or degree for the name. The only fair conclusion is that Roan Howard Cassidy has no confirmed profession, and that any detail about his career comes from a page that has no information.
Privacy and the Family Name
A famous family attracts attention to every member, including people who never chose public life. The Cassidy children grew up with a father known for a pop career and a television career, and with grandparents known for stage and screen work. Some of them may work in entertainment, and others may not.
The privacy of those children deserves respect whether or not the name Roan belongs to one of them. Readers should avoid searching for addresses, photos, or social media accounts of people whose connection to a public figure is unverified. Sites that publish such details often attach them to the wrong person.
How Duplicate Pages Spread the Name
The Roan Howard Cassidy pages follow a common pattern in low quality celebrity writing. A name appears in a search trend, and several sites publish pages with the same headline structure within a short period. Each page repeats the same few lines, adds a few filler sentences, and links back to the Wikipedia entry for the famous parent.
The Wikipedia link gives the page an air of authority, but the entry for Shaun Cassidy says nothing about Roan. A link to a source does not make a claim true, and readers should check whether the linked page actually contains the statement. In this case it does not.

Conclusion
Roan Howard Cassidy is a name that websites link to Shaun Cassidy, but no reference source confirms a child by that name, and the claim that Susan Diol is his mother conflicts with Wikipedia’s count of one daughter from that marriage. Wikipedia does confirm that Shaun Cassidy has seven children, so a private son remains possible. Readers should trust the documented family facts and treat the rest as unproven.
