4 november 2024 в 16:13
Quincy Jones was an absolute legend in the music industry. Hailing from Chicago, he was responsible for some of the biggest songs of iconic performers such as Frank Sinatra, Ella Fitzgerald, and Michael Jackson. His work as a composer, writer, and producer earned him a total of 80 Grammy nominations, of which he won 28. He was even nominated for an Oscar seven times. Reaching the high notes time and time again allowed the former jazz musician to amass a huge fortune of around 500 million dollars before his death in November 2024.
Quincy’s musical contributions and awards only surpass another enduring legacy — his seven children. The hitmaker of «We Are The World» has a total of six daughters and one son from five different women. Learn all about his incredible offspring below.
Quincy first married actress Jeri Caldwell from 1957 to 1966. Together they had Quincy’s first child, daughter Jolie. At the age of 15, Jolie began her modeling career and was signed by Ford Models, according to AmoMama. Later in her career, she focused on singing, writing, and activism, according to the publication.
Born in 1963, Rachel — Quincy’s second child — was born from a brief relationship with professional dancer Carol Reynolds. The love child chose a career in medicine instead of following in her father’s footsteps. She graduated from the Tuskegee Veterinary School in 1999 and owns a homeopathic veterinary clinic in the upscale Marina Del Rey neighborhood of Los Angeles.
A year after divorcing Jeri, Quincy married his second wife — Swedish model and actress Ulla Andersson. Together they welcomed Quincy’s third child and third daughter, Martina, before parting ways in 1974. Martina followed in her beautiful mother’s footsteps and also became a model, signing with Ford Models and working on an international level. She is also very active on social media, keeping fans updated on her life through Instagram.
After Martina’s birth and before the divorce, Quincy and Ulla had their only son, producer Quincy III. The descendant followed in his father’s footsteps in the music industry, working as a producer with artists such as Dr. Dre, Tupac, Ice Cube, and LL Cool J. As the founder and president of QD3 Entertainment, he also produced films and television projects for Showtime, VH1, and BET. Check out his Instagram for all the latest news.
In an amazing chronological order, Quincy married American actress Peggy Lipton the day after divorcing Ulla. The new spouses had already welcomed daughter Kidada. The fourth daughter is a multifaceted personality, as she has used her talents in acting, modeling, and fashion design, working with brands such as Disney and Tommy Hilfiger.
According to reports, Kidada was in a relationship with the late rap icon Tupac Shakur when he was killed in 1996. She called Tupac the «love of her life» in her father’s 2001 autobiography. In 2017, the talented star also published a book for young girls called «School of Awake». Her Instagram also keeps her fans updated on her latest updates.
Together with Kidada, Quincy and Peggy welcomed daughter Rashida, who was born in February 1976. A Harvard graduate, she is likely the most famous of her six siblings.
