Music legend Stevie Wonder has had an impressive career spanning seven decades, 23 studio albums, and 10 U.S. No. 1 hits.
Along the way, Stevie (real name: Stevland Hardaway Morris) has also been focused on growing his family.
Stevie is the proud father of nine children, welcoming his first child in 1975, and two grandchildren. In his later years, Stevie has been focusing more on his health and family in lieu of music. Here is everything you need to know about his blended family!
Stevie Wonder had two kids with Yolanda Simmons — Aisha and Keita Morris
Stevie had his two eldest children, Aisha (born 1975) and Keita (born 1977), with a woman named Yolanda Simmons. She worked at Stevie’s publishing company throughout the '70s.
Just like her dad, Aisha — who was the inspiration behind Stevie's shit "Isn't She Lovely" — went on to become a successful singer.

She has performed with her father numerous times over the years and has even toured with him.
Keita is also musically inclined and is a DJ and producer, as well as a proud father himself.
Stevie had his third child — Mumtaz Morris — with a woman named Melody McCulley.
Stevie's son, Mumtaz, whose name means "excellence," is also a talented musician.
In an interview with Las Vegas Black Image in 2010, Mumtaz revealed his father was his biggest musical inspiration.
"He is a tremendous musical influence for me. Especially when it comes to playing the piano and writing music, I often think about his creative process. My mother, Melody McCulley, also influenced me. She sang with my father for years," he said. "My father gives me a lot of feedback and support for my music. But he is very careful not to get too involved, and I understand why."
Sofia and Kwame, his fourth and fifth children, are mothered by an unknown woman.
Sofia (born 1985) and Kwame (born 1988) have stayed out of the spotlight for the most part. However, she is in the entertainment industry, just working behind the scenes. According to her Instagram bio, she is a producer and ambassador for the UN.
In 2020, she was a producer for UNESCO's World Day for African and Afrodescent Culture. More recently, she worked on the Global Citizen Accra concert.
Kwame, on the other hand, is the creative director and founder of Yagan Stone Eyewear. He is also the proud dad of a baby boy, born in 2024.
Stevie has two sons with second wife Kai Millard Morris.
Kailand and Mandla, Stevie's sixth and seventh children, were born to Stevie's second wife, Kai Millard Morris, in 2001 and 2005. Mandla is a model and aspiring fashion designer. Kailand allegedly dated Dance Moms star Maddie Ziegler.
Mandla, who also shares a birthday with his famous father (May 13), appeared at the Met Gala with Stevie in 2025.

According to WWD, Kailand has modeled in a campaign for Dior Men’s Modern Tailoring collection, walked in runway shows for Iceberg, Comme des Garçons, Jacquemus, and others — along with launching his own brand, House of Kom.
The singer has two kids with his third and current wife, Tomeeka Robyn Bracy.
Very little is known about Stevie's two youngest kids, although it was reported that the couple shares two daughters named Zaniah and Nyah, born in 2014.
“When I sing ’Isn’t She Lovely,’ yes, I think about Aisha, my oldest child, but the song also makes me think of Nyah, my newborn daughter. She’s lovely, too,” he told GQ in 2015. “Relationships bring about experiences — thoughts, emotions, expressions. All of those things create music.”
Stevie is prepared to move to Ghana to protect his family.
The star is protective of his family— even if that means moving to another country.
Per People, Stevie is ready to leave the U.S. behind and move to Ghana. And it's all in an effort to shield his lineage of grandchildren and great-grandchildren from racial injustice in the U.S.

"I am, because I don't want to see my children's children's children have to say, 'Oh, please like me. Please respect me. Please know that I am important. Please value me.' What kinda life is that?" he says to Oprah Winfrey during an interview.
At the time, he told a Washington gathering of the International Association of African American Music that he had fallen in love with the country and "there's more of a sense of community there."
In 2024, Stevie became an official citizen of Ghana.
“First and foremost, I give all praise to God. Since I was a young boy, I’ve always believed in my heart that nothing is impossible. Guided by the spirit of the Most High, I’ve harbored the desire to come to Ghana for many years… Since around 1972," he shared. "For over 50 years, I’ve discussed the idea of being a citizen of this country. Now, as a Ghanaian citizen, I am committed to fulfilling the dream we’ve cherished for so long—uniting people of African descent and the diaspora. The world can only achieve unity when we, as a global community, come together."
