Vanessa Williams And Family In Ebony/Jet

The absolutely wonderful Vanessa Williams pose for the May issue of Ebony/Jet with her kids Sasha, Jillian, Melanie, Devin and her Mother Helen. What a beautiful family portrait !

In the magazine, she discusses motherhood, divorce, struggles in life. Here's an excerpt :

For a woman who says “I love being married,” being twice divorced has been devastating….”Divorce is the hardest thing I’ve ever gone through in my life. It’s like a death, and it doesn’t get easier either time. Because it’s a dream that dies, and it’s heartbreaking,” says Williams.

“….So listening to sad music, crying all day, not wanting to get out of bed. It’s a grieving process. You have to feel the pain in order to process a big part of that is also forgiving the other person and forgiving yourself for feeling like you failed.”
