Who are Kenneth 'Babyface' Edmonds' ex-wives?

In September 2022, Babyface was first seen out and about with a 33-year-old German model named "Rika" (real name Tischendorf).

Rika also posted about spending Christmas 2022 with Babyface.



 

But before he started dating Rika, Babyface got married three times. The artist was previously married to his first wife, Denise, and then to his second wife, Tracey Edmonds, whom he met in 1990 and wed two years later. His third wife was Nicole Pantenburg. Their marriage ended after seven years in 2021. While he did not have any children with Denise, he has two sons from Tracey and one daughter from Nicole.

Tracey met Babyface when she attended an audition for the music video for Babyface's song ‘Whip Appeal’ in 1990. Brandon and Dylan, their two children, were born on September 5, 1992, the day after their wedding. However, their marriage did not last long as Tracey submitted a divorce petition to the Los Angeles County Superior Court on January 7, 2005, citing irreconcilable differences.
