Many thought Stevie Wonder's triplets were around the corner when her mother was pregnant. However, the rich musician who rarely courts media paparazzi took time out to refute these claims in a light-hearted joke.

The famous Grammy awards winning musician and instrumentalist has been with several women. However, he officially married only three of them, including his current wife, Tomeeka Robyn Bracy.
