Quincy Jones Was a Father to Seven Children From Five Women — Where are They Now?

Music legend Quincy Jones wore many hats in the music industry, from producer to musical composer. Chances are, a piece of music released from the 1970s onward had Quincy involved in some way. His 1985 record "We Are the World," featuring big names like Bruce Springsteen, Tina Turner, and Cyndi Lauper, showcases just how profound his career was.

Although Quincy passed away on the evening of Nov. 3, 2024, at the age of 91 at his Bel Air home, his legacy will live on through his contributions to music and, of course, his children. Quincy leaves behind seven kids, one of whom is the well-known actor Rashida Jones. Here’s where all of Quincy’s kids are now.

Quincy welcomed seven children over the course of his lifetime: Jolie, Rachel, Martina, Quincy III, Kidada, Rashida, and Kenya. He was a very proud father, and he made it abundantly clear through his various Instagram posts.

In a heartfelt message shared in 2018, Quincy described his daughters, saying, “These girls (now women) never cease to amaze me with how brilliant, kind, creative, and perseverant they are. In each of their respective fields, they continue to push forward, despite the external voices that tell them they aren't good enough or forces that try to keep them down.”
