The truth about Diana Ross' ex-husbands

BY DREW GILLIS
Diana Ross was once described by People as "Glitter Chic incarnate," a description that still holds up over 40 years later. The singer-actor is one of the most influential and successful artists of all time, with her impact seen in the likes of Michael Jackson, Madonna, Beyonce, and Questlove, to name a few examples. In the 1960s, she sold more records than everyone except the Beatles and became an Oscar-nominated actor in the 1970s. Oh, and did we mention Ross' impressive net worth? The star reportedly has $250 million in the bank, according to Celebrity Net Worth.

As such a successful person, it shouldn't come as a big surprise that Ross hasn't always had it easy in the love department. Director Joel Schumacher, who directed Ross in The Wiz, told People in 1979 that the actor is "barricaded by stardom," saying that for Ross, "a man has to make more money [than her] or be the wife." That's a bit of an outdated take, no?

Although many would disagree with Schumacher's sentiment, he does seem to have one point — those who get close to Ross might end up in her shadow. However, it's important to note that the singer's two husbands were successful in their own right, even if they weren't household names. With that in mind, let's take a closer look into the lives of Ross' ex-partners.
