Ross never married Gordy despite their long friendship.

Nonetheless, when she fell pregnant with her first child, Rhonda Ross, their lives were turned upside down.

Despite the fact that Gordy was Rhonda’s real father, he and Ross didn’t tell her the truth until she was 13 years old.

Did Diana Ross marry Barry Gordy?

Ross and Gordy met through Smokey Robinson, a boyhood neighbor of Gordy’s. After signing with Motown with his band, Smokey Robinson & The Miracles, the vocalist of “Ain’t No Mountain High Enough” requested him to arrange a meeting for her, Florence Ballard, and Mary Wilson.

Soon after, they changed their names to the Supremes and began recording their first album.

The group’s first number-one record, “Where Did Our Love Go?” was published in 1964.

Ross and Gordy began a love relationship during the Supremes’ heyday.

The pair agreed to keep their personal life private because they worked together.

Gordy, on the other hand, admitted to Rolling Stone that he was “madly in love” with Ross.
