Mary and her mother, Cora Blige, share the same facial features, eyes and beautiful smile, and like her daughter, Mrs. Cora knows how to rock a stylish outfit and hair.

Speaking to the Associated Press last year amid the release of her last studio album “Strength of a Woman,” Blige revealed that her mother, who endured domestic violence from Mary’s father and had to raise her kids alone, is her biggest inspiration in life.

She said:

“Who inspires me to be strong is my mom. She’s a very strong woman, she’s always been strong. She raised us alone, a single parent mom.”

Mary J. Blige faced one of the most difficult moments in her life in 2016 when she discovered her husband and manager of 13 years had been not only cheating on her but also spending her money on his mistress.

She filed for divorce and immersed herself in work, recording her new album and the movie “Mudbound,” where she revealed that her sadness was of use to bring her character to life. And her performance turned out to be so amazing, that she earned her first ever Academy Award nomination for Best Supporting Actress.
