These twins lost their iconic dad when they were just 15 – He fathered them aged 61 for the sake of his childless wife
Country music legend Kenny Rogers led a life marked by professional success and a complex personal journey. He was married five times and had five children, always searching for a lasting partnership.
Rogers was candid about the strain his career placed on his relationships. He famously referred to music as his “mistress,” admitting it often took priority over his family life.
His first marriage to Janice Gordon was brief, ending when he was just 21. He then had two subsequent short-lived marriages to Jean Rogers and a longer one to Margo Anderson.
His fourth marriage to Marianne Gordon lasted 16 years and was one of his most publicized relationships. Following their divorce, which cost him $60 million, Rogers spoke highly of her, stating she deserved the settlement.
A few years later, he met Wanda Miller, who became his fifth and final wife. Despite a 28-year age gap, their connection was profound.
With Wanda, Rogers found the stable love he had long sought. They had twin boys, and he embraced fatherhood again in his later years.
Their marriage endured until his death in 2020. Rogers’ legacy is one of incredible music and a hard-won personal happiness he finally achieved.
