Tina Turner’s Only Son With Ike Turner

Aforementioned, Tina Turner and Ike Turner got married in 1962. They first met in 1957 and were platonic friends until their affair began while Ike was in a relationship with his girlfriend, Lorraine Taylor.

Well, Ike and Tina’s tumultuous relationship is widely known. However, Tina stayed with Ike and welcomed their first and only child, Ronald Renelle Turner, in October 1960. A couple of years later, Ike and Tina exchanged vows in 1962.

After their marriage, Tina Turner’s son was taken to their new home in View Park, where Turner’s first child, Craig Turner, and Ike’s sons, Ike Turner Jr., and Michael Turner, accompanied them. Because Ike and Tina fought most of the time, Ronnie must have witnessed their violence first hand.

Furthermore, Ronnie Turner’s parents were mainly on tour, making money. Therefore, his half-brother, Ike Turner Jr., admitted that housekeepers raised them than their parents. Also, talking about his father’s abuse towards his mother, he’d written a letter in his final days apologizing for ‘putting Tina and the kids through that kind of stuff.”

Alongside three half-brothers, two from his father’s side and one from his mother’s, Ronnie also has two half-sisters from his father’s side. Ike Turner welcomed a daughter with Ann Thomas, Mia Turner, in 1969. Likewise, Ronnies’ half-sister, Twanna Melby Turner, was born in 1959 to Pat Richard.
