Diana Ross

The music icon's family tree has so many branches, you might feel dizzy. The singer is mom to five children from three previous relationships. In 1965, when she was a member of the Supremes, Diana began dating Motown CEO Berry Gordy. They were together for several years and had a daughter together, Rhonda Suzanne Silberstein, in 1971.

When Diana was two months pregnant with Rhonda, she tied the knot with music executive Robert Ellis Silberstein, who was her manager at the time. Robert raised Rhonda as his own, and the couple also welcomed two more children, daughters Tracee Ellis Ross and Chudney Ross, in 1972 and 1975, respectively. Diana and Robert two divorced in 1977.

In 1986, Diana married Norwegian businessman Arne Næss Jr. She became a stepmother to his three children, Katinka, Christoffer, and Leona. After their wedding, Diana and Arne also welcomed two sons together, Ross Naess and actor Evan Ross, in 1987 and 1988, respectively. They were divorced in 2000, and four years later Arne was tragically killed during a mountain climbing accident in South Africa.

Diana has stayed close with her former stepchildren and has since referred to Arne as the love of her life. The singer is also still friends with her exes Berry and Robert, and they both (as well as Diana's children and grandchildren) were on hand to see her accept a lifetime achievement award at the AMAs in 2017. This massive family seems so full of love!
