No wedding for Aretha Franklin
Written by admin on January 24, 2012 – 6:31 pm -Aretha Franklin’s wedding to long-term friend William Wilkerson has been called off. The pair had announced their engagement earlier this month and hinted at a summer wedding.
The following statement was released today, signed by Aretha and Will:
| “Regretfully, Will and I have decided we were moving a little too fast. There were a number of things that had not been thought through thoroughly. There will be no wedding at this time. We will not comment on it any further because of the very personal and sensitive nature of it. We appreciate all of the many well wishes from friends.” |
Aretha was married to her then manager Ted White from 1961 to 1969, and to actor Glynn Turman from 1978 to 1984. Both marriages ended in divorce.
