Biography rhonda ross kendrick

Diana Ross' biggest fans are her five children.

The "Ain't No Mountain High Enough" singer welcomed her eldest daughter, Rhonda, 53, with Motown legend Berry Gordy in 1971. The same year, Diana married her first husband, music executive Robert Ellis Silberstein, and they went on to welcome two more daughters: Tracee, 52, and Chudney, 49. Diana split from Silberstein in 1977 and went on to marry Norwegian businessman and mountaineer Arne Naess Jr. in 1986. The former couple had sons Ross, 37, and Evan, 36.

Many of Diana's children have followed in her footsteps and pursued careers within the entertainment industry.

During a 2018 guest appearance on Watch What Happens Live, the youngest of the Ross clan, Evan, said growing up in a "big family" helped him navigate his and wife Ashlee Simpson's own blended family. "I grew up in a family where I had a lot of different siblings," Evan told host Andy Cohen. "I grew up with a big family. I think it's a beautiful thing."

Black-ishstar Tracee is also grateful for her family and specifically her mom, who despite the demands of her career, was a very present and dedicated mother.

"The Diana Ross that the world knows — this global, international icon who paved the way and changed what glamour looked like and who Black women were in the world, particularly in that capacity — her Diana Ross-ness doesn't hold a candle to her mom-ness," she said on Naomi Campbell's YouTube series No Filter with Naomi.

"I'm so close with my mom and my family," she added.

Tracee echoed this sentiment in her 2022 InStylecover story. "My mom was extremely present," she said. "Waking us up for school, sitting for dinner with us and giving us a genuine, anchored, real family life and home life. The most important thing to my mother was not fame, it was her children."
