What was even more heartwarming about the post was that Mandla also turned fifteen on May 13. Mandla and Stevie share the same birthday. The fifteen-year-old was born on May 13, 2005, on Stevie’s fifty-fifth birthday.

The photo Mandla posted featured the father and son beside a pristine-looking black piano. While the 70-year-old sat on the bench all dressed in black, his son gave him a big warm hug from behind.

Mumtaz, his third child, was born to a woman named Melody Mcculley while the mother of his other kids, Sophie and Kwame, was never revealed. Aisha Morris, who was his eldest daughter, was revealed to have been the inspiration for his hit single “Isn’t She Lovely?” He explained:

“She was the one thing that I needed in my life and in my music for a long time.”

Aisha grew up to be a famous singer just like her father, and often went on world-wide tours with him. The musical pair recorded quite a number of songs together.
