The Truth About Gladys Knight's Marriage

Publish date: 2024-06-21

William McDowell may be singer Gladys Knight's fourth husband, but it appears he was well worth the wait. The singer gushed in a 2019 anniversary Instagram post, "My life is so much better with you in it. You're the best thing that ever happened to me." McDowell shared that sentiment on his page, frequently posting about the woman he refers to as "queen." In one Instagram with Knight, McDowell wrote, "Always making memories that will last a lifetime," and in another, he simply captioned, "Living happy."

When the two aren't gushing over each other, they're probably talking about music. Knight is, of course, a legendary singer who has won seven Grammys over her decades-long music career. And, as it turns out, McDowell dabbles in music. He released the single "Country Water" in June, and as TMZ reported, Knight lent her vocals for the chorus and had a cameo in the music video, which McDowell described as a "fun time."

The two also appear to enjoy giving back to their community together. The couple lives in McDowell's home state of North Carolina, where they have a nonprofit called the RHS Community Foundation and are working to build a community center. Recently, the couple held a COVID-19 vaccination drive. McDowell told the Citizen-Times, "We know it's important to use our names for service." With so much in common and a strong adoration for each other, it appears Knight finally found her happily ever after!
