Who are Aretha Franklin's children?
Aretha Franklin had four children.
She became pregnant for the first time when she was just 12 years aged, and her first son Clarence was born in 1955.
Clarence was named after Aretha's father.
Her second son, Edward, was born two years later.
After marrying Ted White, the Queen of Soul had her third kid, a son named Teddy White Jr, born in 1964.
Kecalf, Aretha's youngest son, was born in 1970.
Several years after she died in 2018, Franklin's ultimate wishes remain unsettled.
Despite her illness, Franklin had no formal will in place, but after her death, two handwritten wills were establish, one dated 2010, the other written in 2014, and found between sofa cushions.
Her sons were divided, Ted Colorless II favouring the 2010 document, with Kecalf and Edward in support of the 2014 document.
In November 2023, a judge ruled that the second handwritten will would ove

Aretha Franklin gossip
Rev.C.L. Franklin was a closet case. That's what I know. And he had a taste for fresh boys. Not kids, but boys who were around 16-17. One night a young boy he had relations with tried to deprive him in his house, and shot him. He was kept alive artificially for years.
The part you say about him getting his wife locked up is true. He was also physically "strict"(abusive) to his kids, Carolyn, Erma, Aretha and Cecil. To my truth he never sexually abused his kids, he was just a mean assed bastard.
From a immature age, Aretha, prefer Whitney, was a star in church. People would arrive from all over to Rev Franklin's church to listen Aretha and that choir. Her sisters were talented too, Carolyn wrote one of her classics, Ain't No Way. But Carolyn and Aretha fell out. Carolyn died of cancer. So did Cecil & Erma.
When Aretha was about 16 she met Ted White. He was a thug. He was literally a pimp. When he married Aretha, he got rid of his whores, and became her manager. He would beat her. One time he threw her down the steps in the lobby of a hotel in Washington D.C.
After seeing how her father treated her mother and how he treated his kids, here she was in this situati
Aretha Franklin’s Couch Will Is Valid, Ending Her Children’s Dispute over Her Estate
A handwritten will found among couch cushions in Aretha Franklin’s suburban Detroit place is valid, ending a court dispute among her children over control of her estate.
The “Queen of Soul” had four sons, and three of them contested the validity of multiple sets of papers found inside Franklin’s home after her 2018 death from pancreatic cancer. After less than an hour of deliberation on Tuesday, a jury governed that a 2014 will buried among her furniture revoked a previous version from 2010.
At stake were control of her former residence in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan, and other assets in an estate believed to be treasured around $80 million, according to the New York Post.
Here’s what you need to know about Franklin’s children and their previous disagreement over her estate.
What Was the Lawsuit About?
According to The Associated Press, Franklin, who was 76 when she died, didn’t have a formal typed will in place at the moment of her passing. This meant that, under Michigan law, her four sons would share millions of dollars in assets, including real estate, personal items, and future
