Patti LaBelle
She has one of the most recognizable voices in R&B but much of her personal life has remained private. Legendary singer Patti LaBelle married her husband Armstead Edwards in 1969, while she was still a member of Lebelle. After the group disbanded several years later, it was Edwards that took Patti’s career into his hands by becoming her manager. As a solo artist, Patti went on to sell over 50 million albums and was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame. The duo worked alongside each other for decades until they announced their amicable split in 2000. The divorce was finalized a year later.
