Knight is currently married to William McDowell.

The two married exactly 20 years ago as of 2021 (viaHollywoodMask).

In fact, McDowell took to Instagram to celebrate their twentieth Valentine’s Day together this year.

This is what happened with Gladys Knight’s prior marriages

Who came before William McDowell?

First was James Newman, who Gladys Knight was married to from 1960 until 1973 (via Heavy).

Newman died a few years after the divorce finalized.

Finally, after Hankerson, Knight married Les Brown, but only after time spent bettering herself.

They married in 1995, but in 1997 the singer divorced her motivational speaker husband.

And I ain’t even mad at nobody.”

It appears as though Gladys Knight remains an optimist through and through.

Now, the singer is happily married and living her best life.
