Chaka Khan’s family life is something not often explored while discussing her massive legacy. Becoming a star long before the days of social media and reality television, Khan was able to hold onto some type of anonymity when it came to her world off the stage. Her big voice took up enough of the attention. Khan has been married, however, and has two children. Let’s explore her relationship with her son Damien Holland.
Khan was only 17 years old when she got married for the first time to Hassan Khan in 1970. They did not last long, and soon after, she welcomed her first child Indria Millini with a man named Rahsaan Morris. Khan would marry again n 1976 to Richard Holland. They would welcome Damien in 1979. Damien is now 44 years old and has had a pretty tough life living in the shadows of his superstar mother.
Years ago Damien found himself in some legal issues as a late teen however he was eventually given a second chance at life in 2006. Nearly nine years later Damien found himself on the wrong side once again. Eventually, Chaka Khan was granted custody of his daughter.
Through it all, Chaka still loves her son and is rooting for him. The star recently wished him a happy birthday on March 22nd. “My son was born [today.] His name is Damien Patrick Holland. He’s a great guy. He’s my favorite guy in all the world. I just want to say how much I love him. Happy birthday, son.” Damien does not appear in the video, but fans in the comments wished him the best as well.
Damien is currently on a clear path and making his mother extremely proud.
