Who are Tina Turner’s children?

Tina Turner was the mother of four children namely Ronnie Turner, Raymond Craig Turner, Ike Turner Jr, and Michael Turner.

According to Closer Weekly, Tina’s oldest child, Craig Turner, was fathered by musician Raymond Hill, with whom Tina shared the Kings of Rhythm stage. Craig was born when Tina was only 18 years old.

Following the breakup of her romance with Hill, Tina started what is possibly her most well-known relationship with Ike Turner, the bandleader of the Kings of Rhythm, whom she ultimately married. Before their dramatic breakup in 1978, Tina and Ike were famously seen performing together as the Ike & Tina Turner Duo.

According to NBC News, Ronnie Turner passed away at the age of 62 in late 2022. Later, it became known that Ronnie had recently gotten a cancer diagnosis. This was the Turner family’s second tragedy of this kind as Craig Turner, Ronnie’s half-brother, also passed away in 2018. Allegedly, he died by suicide from a self-inflicted gunshot at his home in California at just 59 years old.

Ike Turner Jr. worked as a sound engineer at Bolic Sound and temporarily for Turner after her divorce. The album Risin’ with the Blues, which he later produced for his father, earned him a Grammy. According to Ike Jr., he and his brothers are not very close to their mother.
