In 2020, the country music community mourned the loss of Kenny Rogers, a legendary singer-songwriter and producer. He passed away at the age of 81 due to natural causes, leaving behind a rich legacy and a loving family.
Kenny’s love story with his fifth wife, Wanda, is nothing short of a fairy tale. Despite facing criticism due to their age difference, the couple’s love stood strong. They first met when Wanda was working as a hostess, and Kenny was instantly smitten. Their relationship faced challenges, especially from Wanda’s parents, but love prevailed, and they tied the knot in 1997.

Kenny, who also had three children from a previous marriage, cherished every moment with his family. He often emphasized the importance of creating memories with his sons, even taking them on his final tour, ‘The Gambler’s Last Deal’.
