Tina Turner ‘Abandoned’ Her Kids & Was ‘Living Her Life’ after Finding Love with Younger Husband, Son Claimed

Tina Turner was happily married and lived in Switzerland with her husband. However, not everyone was happy with her decision to be in Europe. In 2018, the singer’s son claimed that Tina abandoned her children in the US to live with her younger husband.

American-born Swiss singer and actress Tina Turner was undoubtedly one of the most successful singers of her time. With a career spanning over sixty years in the entertainment industry, the icon has thrilled her fans with her wonderful voice and electrifying performance.

However, there was more to Tina than being a show business star. The actress was also a wife and mother to four children, Ike Turner Jr, Michael Turner, and her late sons, Ronnie and Craig Turner. She welcomed her first child, Craig, with Saxophonist Raymond Hill in 1958.

Tina passed away on May 24, 2023, after suffering a long illness. She was at her home that she shared with her husband, Erwin Bach, in Switzerland, where the couple lived since 1994.

The songstress passed away at 83 and a representative for Tina said she had passed away peacefully. The rep said:

“With her, the world loses a music legend and a role model.”

When Tina welcomed her first child, she was only 18 years old. Even though the pair were ecstatic about being parents, their happiness could not prevent their relationship from crumbling shortly after.

Then, in 1960, the singer found love again in the arms of Late American Musician and Record Producer Ike Turner. That same year, Turner and Ike Sr. welcomed their first child together, Ronnie.

Two years later, the former couple walked down the aisle. Not long after, Tina adopted Ike Sr’s two kids, Ike Jr. and Michael, from his previous marriage to Lorraine Taylor, while the record producer adopted Craig.
