Naomi Judd

Country music singer and actress Naomi Judd is one-half of the most famous mother-daughter singing duo, The Judds. The duo garnered five Grammy awards throughout their career, and at the same time, Naomi received songwriting credits for the hit Love Can Build a Bridge. ABC News revealed that Naomi was at the tender age of 18 when she had her first child, Wynona, the other half of the singing duo, with her former boyfriend, who also left her.

Four years later, she had her second daughter, Ashley, who is an accomplished Hollywood actress — Unfortunately, her relationship with Ashley’s father didn’t pan out well either. Naomi raised both of her kids as a solo parent. Luckily, the family found success in the show business, where the two daughters found fame through their singing, which helped them recover from poverty. Naomi has been married to fellow musician Larry Strickland since 1989.
