She had only one husband, most historians don't know if she had him killed or she killed him herself.
Though Marie Antoinette had many lovers during her lifetime and lived a very flamboyant lifestyle. She was married to King Louis XVI of France, so he would make a good companion to Marie for a costume idea.
Marie Antoinette had four children, two whom died in childhood. The surviving children, Louis Charles and Marie Therese Charlotte were imprisoned with their parents and after Louis XVI was executed Louis Charles was separated from his mother, sister and aunt and placed in a cell beneath theirs where they could hear his cries. He was proclaimed Louis XVII upon his fathers death and was brutally beaten by his jailers they plied him with wine and forced him to falsely testify against his mother during her trial, that she and his pious aunt had sexually abused him, he remained imprisoned until his death of tuberculosis in 1795. Many men claimed in the years that followed to be Louis Charles, although DNA tests in 2000 on the body on the boy buried in prison proved to be Marie Antoinette's son. Marie Therese Charlotte fled France after the revolution. She became the duchesse d'Angouleme and lived to old age to see the reign of her uncles Louis XVIII and Charles V. She died childless thus ending the direct line of Marie Antoinette and Louis XVI. Marie did not live in a house ever. As a princess and Queen, she was born at a palace in Vienna, Austria. She spent the next half of her life in the Palace of Versailles, France, which is open to tourists. You can find a map on Google. She lived in the Tulieries palace, also in France.

No, none of Marie Antoinette's children ever had children of their own. Her daughter Marie Therese-Charlotte managed to get out of the prison she had been in with her parents and eventually married her cousin, but the marriage was childless. Her eldest son Louis Joseph died shortly before the revolution and was under the age of 10. Through DNA testing it was proven that the heart belonging to the orphan of the tempel belonged to somebody with Habsburg DNA. The only person fitting that description was her son Louis Charles who died at 10. Her daughter Sophie died as an infant about a year before the Revolution

Madame Du Barry was the official mistress of Louis XV and therefore his little spoiled darling. Madame Du Barry wanted to be acknowledged at court, but nobody did. The only reason courtiers spoke to her was to please the King. Madame Du Barry wanted Marie Antoinette to speak to her desperately, but because Marie Antoinette (being the dauphine) was way higher in rank, it was not allowed for Madame Du Barry to speak to her first. She had to wait until Marie Antoinette would say a few words directed to her, before she was allowed to speak back. Marie Antoinette learned that Madame Du Barry had been a prostitute in previous years and was a provocative woman. Marie Antoinette found it hard to believe that such a woman with such a history and such behaviour was allowed at court, let alone be the King's mistress. Marie Antoinette's evil three aunts (the sisters of Louis XV) spurred her on not ever to speak word to her. Madame Du Barry complained, cried, and begged Louis XV to order Marie Antoinette to speak to her, but she kept refusing. Eventually, when Empress Maria Theresia (Marie Antoinette's mother) sent Marie Antoinette a very angry letter in which she harshly told her daughter how foolish she was to keep her mouth shut to the woman, she gave in. Her exact words eventually were: "there are many people today at Versailles" and she said it not directly looking at Madame Du Barry but standing next to her. That was all she would ever say to her. Madame Du Barry was pleased. Marie Antoinette later said "that woman will never again hear the sound of my voice". And she kept word.
