Smokey Robinson says he had a great romantic relationship with Diana Ross for a whole year while he was married.
He said that he and Diana Ross were more than just friends for a while when he talked about their long friendship. Not long ago, he told the Guardian that they were dating for about a year, even though he was already married to his first wife, Claudette Rogers. He said it was a beautiful event, even though it happened while they were working together.
Pink and Diana Ross, two famous singers, have been friends since they were 10 years old. Their friendship grew stronger when Robinson and his family moved down the street from Ross and her family. They lived close to Aretha Franklin too.
He said, “It’s great to remember playing together as kids.” They are now some of the most well-known people in the world. It was a lot of fun.
Robinson had a crush on Franklin when they were teenagers, but they never dated. But his friendship with Diana Ross grew into something more.
Robinson said that neither of them made the first move, and that they got together on their own.
He told her, “I was trying to help her because she was young and focused on her career.” I even showed her Motown music. “Neither she nor I were interested in each other.”
But in the end, their relationship ended. Robinson told him Diana told her she couldn’t go on because she knew his wife, Claudette, and knew how much he loved her.
Robinson said that his friendship with Ross helped him understand love, which is something that a lot of people find hard. He learned that it’s okay to love more than one person at a time, even though most people don’t do that. He said that love can’t be stopped because if it could, no one would risk getting hurt.
Robinson confirmed that he had an affair with Ross, but he laughed off claims that they were Michael Jackson’s real parents. He laughed at the idea and flatly denied it.
