FIRST-TIME MOM

King's first experience with motherhood was during her first marriage to her first husband, Gerry Goffin, who was a lyricist. The couple married in 1959 and shared two kids between them.

In 1969, King and Goffin ended their marriage after almost a decade together with two kids. The American singer-songwriter would go on to find love and raise more kids.

OTHER LOVERS

After her first marriage, King wedded Charles Larkey in 1970. She went on to share her last two children with him before they split in 1976.

Her last two unions with Rick Evers and Rick Sorenson had no kids in them. The music star raised her kids away from the spotlight. Despite a super busy career, King still prioritized her kids.
