Ellis was the first of Diana Ross's two husbands and they tied the knot in 1971. At the time, she was expecting her first child, daughter, Rhonda Suzanne Silberstein.

It was not until 1985, almost a decade after divorcing Ellis, that the iconic singer, Ross, met her second husband, dashing Norwegian shipping magnate Arne Næss Jr.

She shared Rhonda with Motown chief Berry Gordy whom she started dating in 1965 till they parted ways several years later. Rhonda only found out who her birth father was when she was 13 years old.

In 1972, the year after they got married, Ellis and Ross welcomed their first biological child together, Tracee Joy. Their second biological daughter, Chudney Lane, came three years later in 1975 and was about two years old when her parents divorced in 1977.

Following Ellis's split from Ross, the singer expanded her fascinating love life when she started dating "Kiss" singer Gene Simmons in 1980, but things died down between them three years later.
