Aaliyah and R. Kelly

Celebrity

Defying huge age gap and allegations of wrecking marriage, some smitten pairs give in to their passions and choose to be together against all odds.

January 13, 2019

AceShowbiz - R. Kelly didn't gain his reputation as a sexual offender in one day. One of his notorious relationships was with Aaliyah. They first met when the "Try Again" songstress was just 12. In 1994, he illegally married then 15-year-old Aaliyah without her parents' knowledge. A marriage certificate that was unveiled in 2017 revealed that R. Kelly forged her age as 18 to meet the legal limit. Their marriage was annulled in February 1995 by her parents, and the two persistently denied that they had ever been married to each other. While Aaliyah didn't live to tell the story of their controversial relationship, the "I Believe I Can Fly" hitmaker is currently facing numerous allegations of sexual misconduct.
