Who are R. Kelly’s ex-wives?

His first marriage was quite controversial as it was an illegal marriage to singer Aaliyah.

It was alleged that they married without her parent’s consent and a marriage certificate revealed that the couple married on August 31, 1994.

On the certificate, Aaliyah, who was 15 at the time, was listed as 18 on the certificate whereas Kelly was 27.

It was later annulled by her parents in 1995, though both Kelly and Aaliyah denied the allegations.

However,  Aaliyah later admitted in court documents that she had lied about her age. In May 1997, she filed suit in Cook County seeking to have all records of the marriage expunged .

His second marriage was to his former backup singer Andrea Kelly in 1996 when she was 22. Kelly, who is known professionally as Drea, is an American choreographer, dancer, and actress.

The marriage resulted in the birth of his three children; Joann, born in 1998, Jaah, born in 2000, and son Robert Jr., born in 2002.

After Kelly assaulted Andrea after she asked for a divorce, she filed a restraining order against him in September 2005. She filed for divorce in 2006 and it was finalized in 2009.
