Answer 2

Yes. Her first husband was Jimmy Monroe, whom she married in 1941 and divorced in 1947. Her common law husbands were Joe Guy and Louis McKay, whom she eventually married in 1952. They were estranged at the time of her death in 1959.

Answer 3

only thing we kno is that Billie Holiday only had a husband and we are not sure if she had kids

Well, I'm Billie holidays great granddaughter and yes she had family. she has a daughter name Cynthia Monroe and Tyrone Monroe they were children by her husband jimmy Monroe ,they called him (odell),and she had three half sisters,and Billie Holiday's real name is Ollie Harris.

Actually Her real name is Eleanor Fagan...!!!

Ms. Holiday was born Elinore Harris and her name was changed to Eleanora Fagan after her mother married a man with the last name Fagan. She did not assume the last name Holiday until she took the stage. Holiday came from Clarence Holiday whom she was told was her biological father. SHE NEVER HAD ANY CHILDREN!!! PLEASE DO NOT DISTORT THE HISTORY OF THIS GIFTED TALENTED WOMAN. Ms. Holiday was a long time family friend and it is quite bothersome to see such blatant deception.
