Gladys Knight & William McDowell – Married Since 2001
They say true love is worth waiting for, and for the acclaimed singer and “Empress of Soul” Gladys Knight, this sentiment holds true after enduring three unsuccessful marriages. Knight met her fourth husband, William McDowell, a decade before they exchanged vows in 2001.
Their marriage has endured for over two decades, having tied the knot just three months after they began dating. The couple often expresses their affection publicly, both at events and on social media. Knight’s contributions were highlighted in the 2020 documentary “Summer of Soul.”
