Wynonna Judd was born Christina Claire Ciminella, and she mistook her father for Michael Charles Ciminella, her sister Ashley’s biological father, for many years (birth name: Ashley Tyler Ciminella).

However, Judd tells Andy Cohen on his Sirius XM show that she found out in the early 1990s that her father was a man named Charles Jordan, who was Naomi Judd’s boyfriend and left after Naomi became pregnant with Wynonna.

Wynonna Judd parents: Naomi Judd, Charles Jordan

Michael Ciminella, her mother’s quick marriage after being abandoned by her boyfriend and Judd’s biological father, Charles Jordan, who died in 2000, gave her the last name Ciminella.

Her biological father was never met by the country singer.

She tells Larry King in a 2005 interview that she had planned to meet him about a month before his death in 2000, but never got the chance.

Naomi Judd and Michael Ciminella divorced in 1972, leaving Naomi to raise Wynonna and Ashley as a single mother.
