 🚨 SAD NEWS: Stevie Wonder’s 9 Children Confirms ‘Stevie Wonder’ Is Now Down With Cancer!

Stevie Wonder, born Stevland Hardaway Morris, has 10 No. 1 hits on the Billboard Top 100 charts, 25 Grammys and nine children to call his own.

“I got, how many, 22 kids?” he jokingly asked of his growing family during an appearance on The View in 2014.

 

Wonder first became a father back in 1975, when his girlfriend Yolanda Simmons gave birth to Aisha, for whom Wonder wrote the 1976 hit “Isn’t She Lovely.” The then-couple welcomed one more child, Keita, before they split.

Wonder had his third child, Mumtaz, in 1983 with vocalist Melody McCully, who sang with the Oscar winner for years. His fourth child, Sophia, was born in 1985, followed by his fifth child, Kwame, three years later.

 

In 2001 and 2005, he welcomed sons Kailand and Mandla with his ex-wife Kai Millard, whom he divorced in 2012. In 2017, Wonder wed again, tying the knot with Tomeeka Robyn Bracy. At the time of their wedding, the pair had already welcomed two children, Zaiah and Nyah.

“I give a lot of credit to the mothers of my children,” Wonder told O, The Oprah Magazine in 2004. “They’ve raised the children well.”

 

Wonder also clarified that although he was no longer in relationships with some of his kids’ mothers, he was not an absent dad. “I’m not one of those fathers who just send money,” he said. “I guide them as a father and talk to them as a friend. I always want my children to feel they can tell me anything.”

Here is everything to know about Stevie Wonder’s nine children.

Aisha Zakia Morris was born to Wonder and his then-partner, Simmons, on April 7, 1975, per The New York Times. “She was the one thing that I needed in my life and in my music for a long time,” the singer later told Women’s Own magazine, per Rolling Stone.

Around 2000, Aisha became a mother to a son named Miles. “My daughter has a little boy,” Wonder told Oprah Winfrey in 2004. “He calls me Pop Pop because I refuse to be called Granddad.”

 

Aisha also became a singer in her own right, appearing on stage alongside Wonder for many of his tours. In 2006, the father-daughter pair were nominated for a Grammy for best R&B performance by a duo or group with vocals for “How Will I Know.” Aisha was also featured on a track called “Positivity.”

 

In 2015, Wonder’s eldest daughter paid tribute to her father during Stevie Wonder — Songs in the Key of Life: An All-Star Grammy Salute. The evening was filled with performances from Jennifer Hudson, Janelle Monáe and Ariana Grande, but Aisha’s performance was particularly special. To close out the show, she joined Ne-Yo during the second verse of “Isn’t She Lovely,” changing the lyrics to say, “My dad is wonderful.”
