Diana Ross Mother of 5 Kids Isn’t Just a Music Icon

There is no mountain high enough to keep Diana Ross away from her children when it comes to motherhood.

Though you may recognize Diana as one of the most popular icons of all time, she plays a more important role when she’s not on stage: mother to her five children.

Diana has three older daughters with her first husband, Robert Ellis Silberstein: Tracee Ellis Ross and Chudney Ross, and Rhonda Ross Kendrick with Berry Gordy. She married Robert in 1971, but six years later, after walking down the aisle and starting a family, the couple divorced in 1977.

However, by 1985, the “Ain’t No Mountain High Enough” singer had moved on when she married Arne Naess, Jr. Diana’s family was expanded by the ex-children, couple’s Evan Ross and Ross Naess, but they also divorced in 2000. Despite her divorces, Diana focused on motherhood, developing close relationships with each of her children.

Diana was a wonderful mother to Tracee and her four siblings when they were children, according to Tracee. In July 2018, she told Elle Canada, “I felt like I grew up in her embrace, not her shadow.” “And that is a tribute to her.” [Her children] were always more important to her than her celebrity.”

“That monster of fame that we see take down so many people with bright lights — my mother protected her light,” the Girlfriends star continued. I’m not sure how. “However, she is a better parent than ‘Diana Ross.'”

Tracee admired her mother’s “glamorous” lifestyle. She claimed, however, that the Grammy-nominated artist never let it get to her head. In January 2015, the Black-ish star told The New York Times, “Our home was filled with beautiful things.” “My mother wore beautiful clothes; she is elegant and glamorous.” But my mother is also very real, and I grew up with a mother who had babies crawling on her head and spitting up on her while she was dressed in beautiful, expensive clothes, and it was never an issue.”

Evan has also shared some memorable moments with his mother over the years. He recalled inviting the “Baby Love” singer to the hospital after his wife, Ashlee Simpson Ross, gave birth to their first daughter, Jagger Snow. Despite the fact that Diana and Ashlee’s parents were supposed to wait outside, the performer entered the delivery room at the same time his daughter arrived.

“I was thinking, ‘What are you doing?!'” Evan told People in July 2018. But once he remembered who his mother was, the ATL star realized why the nurses let Diana go. “Those nurses can’t stop my mom!” he exclaimed, laughing. “Like when Diana Ross walks in.”
