Untangling Stevie Wonder's Huge Family: 9 Kids, 3 Marriages & More
When Stevie Wonder starts calling his kids to say he loves them, he may be on the phone for a while.
Since welcoming daughter Aisha Morris with girlfriend Yolanda Simmons in 1975, the blessed event that inspired his track "Isn't She Lovely," the 76-year-old music legend has become a father of nine with at least five women.
"My children keep me very busy," Wonder, born Stevland Hardaway Morris, told the U.K.'s Radio 2 in 2010 when his brood numbered only seven. "And before my life ends I hope to have many more. My goal is to have twins."
You never know, but he did add more sunshine to his life when he and third wife Tomeeka Robyn Bracy had daughters Zaiah, 13, and Nyah, 11, together before tying the knot in 2017.
"I got, how many, 22 kids?" he quipped on The View in 2014, when Nyah was on the way.
But while his family tree is of the sprawling variety, Wonder—even if he couldn't always be around—was determined to be more than a part-time father.
"I give a lot of credit to the mothers of my children," he told Oprah Winfrey in 2005. "They've raised the children well. But I'm not one of those fathers who just send money. I guide them as a father and talk to them as a friend. I always want my children to feel they can tell me anything."

Not living full-time with his older kids when they were little inevitably caused some tension, but they all share a deep bond with Wonder—not least because of the musical talent that couldn't help running in the family, with several of them joining him onstage for his ongoing Songs in the Key of Life 50th Anniversary Tour that kicked off this year.
Calling his relationship with Wonder "greater than ever," his 43-year-old son Mumtaz Morris, whose mom is vocalist Melody McCully, told Las Vegas Black Image in 2010, "I appreciate him so much more, and everything he has done to overcome obstacles. He has done so much for me and our entire family, and I see things differently now as an adult."
And Aisha, 51, continues to perform with her father, writing on Instagram Oct. 13, "Daddy, in just a few hours we’ll be on stage together once again. My heart is Overjoyed and truly grateful for the life I get to share with you and my family. I love you all so much."
And Wonder will love his nine kids until the rainbow burns the stars out of the sky. Here is what to know about the apples of his eye:

Stevie Wonder
Stevie Wonder was born Stevland Hardaway Morris on May 13, 1950, in Saginaw, Mich.
Arriving six weeks early, he developed retinopathy of prematurity, a condition linked to being exposed to too much oxygen in an incubator that can halt eye growth and cause the retinas to detach, which ultimately resulted in his blindess.
But Wonder quickly proved a musical prodigy, signing his first record contract when he was 11.
The Songs in the Key of Life artist has since won 25 Grammys and was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1989.

Born Feb. 2, 1975, Aisha's delighted baby squeal can be heard on her dad's classic track "Isn't She Lovely" off of his 1976 double album Songs in the Key of Life.
"I can almost cry right now thinking about it," Wonder told Oprah Winfrey for O Magazine in 2005. "The sound of my daughter Aisha splashing in the bathtub created a picture. That was emotion stuck in a moment, and that can never, ever be taken away."

While she lived a relatively private life growing up with her mom in New Jersey, Aisha is also a singer who started performing with her father on his 2005 album A Time to Love and they shared a Grammy nomination for Best R&B Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocals for the song "How Will I Know."

Son Keita Sawandi Morris
Wonder and Simmons welcomed Keita on April 17, 1977.
He attended Hartford College in Connecticut, then moved to New York in the 1990s, where he and friends started record label Stay Gold.
According to his Instagram bio, he performs as DJ Jersey Wonder and is a producer, designer, advertiser and "grateful dad" to son Asmar and daughter Lula, born in 2006 and 2010.
In 2025, Keita posted a video of Asmar dancing with his auntie to "I Just Called to Say I Love You," writing, "That moment isn’t just dancing—it’s family history moving in rhythm. It’s the legacy of love, music, and joy flowing through generations, wrapped up in smiles, steps, and the sound of a song that means more than words ever could."

Son Mumtaz Ekow Morris
Mumtaz was born Oct. 13, 1983, to Wonder and singer Melody McCully.
Living with his mom in Los Angeles, he had "a very regular life like other children," Mumtaz told Las Vegas Black Image in 2010. "When I would go to my dad’s house, it was like the bomb—with a lot of stuff that amazed me."
Favoring sports as a kid, he started playing piano and singing at 17 and would perform while studying business at Virginia's Norfolk State University.
"I used to sway away from music, because it was something my dad did," Mumtak explained, "and I wanted to make my own career path."
While day jobs have included insurance field adjuster and consultant, Mumtak has performed with Wonder live and joined four of his siblings on the 2020 track "Where Is Our Love Song," benefiting Feeding America.
He and wife Candice are parents to daughters Berklee Michelle, Bella Marie and London, and sons MJ and Liam.

She has followed in her dad's activist footsteps, serving as a producer in 2020 for UNESCO’s World Day for African and Afrodescendant Culture and a Global Citizen Live event Wonder performed at the following year.
"So blessed to have such an inspiring and supportive Dad," she wrote in a 2024 Father's Day tribute. "One with an impeccable heart and commitment to his children. Through the sun and through the rain, I will be loving you always."

Son Kwame Morris
Kwame was born Aug. 6, 1988.
A 1995 New Yorker profile—which said Wonder had four kids, seemingly unaware he had five—noted that he and Kwame's mother were "no longer romantically involved, and neither the singer nor his representatives would tell me her name or where she lives."
Kwame lived in Australia before relocating to L.A. at 12.
He attended Morehouse College in Atlanta, per his LinkedIn, and is the founder of Yagan Stone Eyewear.
Kwame shares son Kenzo with partner Akira Morris.

Son Kailand Morris
Kailand, born in September 2001, grew up in Calabasas, Calif.
He is a musician, model and designer, launching House of K.O.M. in 2022.
“Being who my parents are had a huge input for me as to why I do what I do and having such an interest in the field of art as a whole—not just fashion design and not just music,” he told The Glass Magazine in 2021. “At a young age, I was influenced by some of the stuff my dad and my mum did, like the performing and the fashion shows. So I really started to soak in as much as I could.”

Daughter Zaiah Morris
Zaiah's parents kept the arrival of their first child together so private, the public didn't know until her little sister was on the way in 2014.
But she has since entered the arts, getting her start on 2020's "Where Is the Love Song" and performing "The Christmas Song" with Wonder and Nyah at the star-studded House Full of Toys Benefit Concert in 2022.
Zaiah also joined her dad onstage in Amsterdam and Germany in October 2026 for his Songs in the Key of Life 50th Anniversary Tour.

Daughter Nyah Morris
Before his ninth child was born in December 2014, Wonder quashed rumors that his wife was expecting triplets.
"The truth is we’re going to have a wonderful daughter, [to be] born in December," he shared on The View, "name is going to be Nyah, which is 'purpose.'"
And she and Zaiah don't just sing, they also dance.
