Williams welcomed her second child and daughter — Jillian, with Ramon in 1987. Jillian like her siblings has shown immense talent in acting, modeling, and singing and has made a name for herself.

The 32-year-old started a band, Lion Babe, after meeting musician and producer Lucas Goodman in Boston in 2009. The duo began their journey together, and the band released their first single, "Treat Me Like Fire," in 2012.

Despite experiencing a couple of dramas, the band went on to release more singles and albums a few years later. In April, the singer unveiled the cover art for a new single, coming soon via Instagram.

WILLIAMS' RELATIONSHIP WITH HER EX-HUSBANDS

Although the mother of four is not romantically involved with Ramon and Rick, she shares an amazing friendship with the duo and still spends quality time with each of them.

For Williams, sharing holiday meals with everyone, including her stepchildren and exes, is needed, as it gives her kids quality time to bond with their fathers. During a Thanksgiving celebration, Jillian noted that everyone in the large family was accepting.

According to her, having a meal with her dad and Rick, who was Williams' husband at the time, was fine. It was commendable to hear that the large family were spending time together.
