Wonder’s personal life has been quite a talk among his fans since he married three different women and has nine children with five women. He initially married in 1970 to Syreeta Wright who is also a songwriter but unfortunately, parted ways in 1972. His second marriage was with a top-notch fashion designer, Kai Millard for 11 years but sadly, that didn’t work out for Steveland again as they divorced in 2012. They both have two beautiful sons together, Kailand and Mandla Kadjay Carl.

This wasn’t the end of Wonder’s love life as five years later, after his second divorce, he found his soul mate, Tomeeka Bracy, and married her in 2017. Wonder has been loyal to her ever since. They have two daughters together, Zaiah and Nyah.

Stevie didn’t stop his blindness from obstructing his success as a musician

The most inspirational thing about Wonder’s life is that being blind didn’t stop him to start and excel in his career. He made his musical debut as a child prodigy at the age of 13. Stevie Wonders wasn’t born blind. He was born premature and therefore had to be incubated with an excess of oxygen supply which caused abnormal growth of blood vessels in the retina leading to a disease called retinopathy of prematurity. Despite having a successful career Stevie’s life wasn’t always smooth. In 1973, the musician was involved in a car accident putting him in a coma. Days later, when he gained consciousness, he lost his sense of taste and smell but luckily that was temporary.
