The Life as a Couple and Building a Family
In Brenda and Ronnie’s early life as a couple, Ronnie was able to protect his wife from being exploited by dishonest managers, which led to a very successful career for Brenda. Then in 1999, Brenda underwent a surgery to remove the cyst in her vocal cords, and she had to take some time off and rest before going back to recording again. But aside from those, the two kept their love life out of the public eye.
And that went on the same with their family.
Brenda and Ronnie have two daughters, Jolie and Julie (who was named after Patsy Cline’s daughter), and three grandchildren Taylor, Jordan, and Charley. The only thing that was known about the family was the fact that Julie was born with a hyaline membrane disease and was not medically expected to survive. But thanks to Dr. Mildred Stalman, who also attended the births of the Kennedy children, she was saved.
