Here’s what we know about Vanessa Williams' children.
But what is it like being her child?
Is it possible to have a “regular” life when you are thekid of a famous celebrity?
Well, by all accounts, Williams did what she could to give them some sense of normalcy.
Now, that’s often easier said than done when you’re acelebrity raising kids.
And so, she played the piano and French horn.
Williams opened up about the importance of nurturing her kids' creative sides during an interview withCNNin 2012.
“I am lucky to have three daughters who are completely different,” Williams told CNN in 2012.
It goes without saying, but Williams also cherishes the relationship she has with her son.
Melanie is the first of three kids Williams shares with her first husband, Ramon Hervey II.
By all accounts, it sure sounds like Melanie’s career path could not be a better fit.
As she once wrote onInstagram, “Doing what you love doesn’t feel like work.”
And it turns out she is not the only one in the family who loves Pilates.
“I started with [trainer] Mari Winsor after my first child, 22 years ago.
She understands motherhood has challenges and is more about achieving balance and doing your best.
So you have to take each day as it comes and give yourself a break.
Don’t beat yourself up if your house isn’t clean and spotless every day.”
Since 2012, she has been part of the R&B duo Lion Babe.
As she toldPage Sixin 2016, “I never walk into a room and say, ‘Hi!
I am Vanessa Williams’ daughter.'”
The two initially connected at a party when Vanessa Williams' daughter happened to be visiting Northeastern University.
The thing that brought them together?
The music playing at the party, of course.
“By chance, I heard a song and I didn’t know what it was.
So, I asked my friend ‘What’s this?’
Well, not for a while, at least.
A few years later, they reconnected, and the rest is history.
When Hervey and Goodman’s son arrived, Vanessa Williams officially became a grandmother for the first time.
And it shouldn’t come as a surprise that she was beyond thrilled about the addition to her family.
“Well, my heart is bursting now!”
Williams said to Essence.
“It’s full of promise and gratitude as I welcome the true extension of love into the world.
In that same interview, Hervey spoke about the beauty and power of women.
And Hervey would be the first to sing her mother’s praises.
“I saw it all the time.”
As such, not as much is known about him, although he is believed to work in fashion.
Williams' children have unique qualities and interests, something she’s encouraged.
“Why be like everybody else?
Don’t be afraid to be yourself.”
What’s more, she’s even modeled on air for her mom’s clothing line with HSN.
And is that cost worth it?
So all four of my kids have wanted to keep their private life private.”
… Don’t say, ‘It’ll never happen.’
Realism is done with love and support.”
