In her autobiography, I, Tina: My Life Story, Tina shared how Hill left her to raise Craig alone as he broke up with her and went back to his hometown before their son was even born. Then, in 1962, Tina married Ike, and he adopted Craig when he was just four years old.

Throughout his life, Craig chose to stay away from public attention and pursued a career as a real estate agent.

Tragically, he passed away by suicide at 59 in his Studio City, California, home on July 3, 2018. Tina Turner held a ceremony on July 19, 2018, in which she scattered her son’s ashes. She also posted a tweet on Twitter, writing, “My saddest moment as a mother. I said my final goodbye to my son, Craig Raymond Turner when I gathered with family and friends to scatter his ashes off the coast of California. He was fifty-nine when he died so tragically, but he will always be my baby.”

Tina Turner’s Children- Ronald “Ronnie” Renelle Turner

Ike and Tina Turner welcomed Ronnie Turner together on October 27, 1960. He is also the youngest son Tina had. 

Ronnie followed in the footsteps of his parents and joined the entertainment industry. He was a part of the band Manufactured Funk. Moreover, in the 1993 film “What’s Love Got To Do With It,” Ronnie acted alongside his late mother. He married singer Afida Turner and even had a son with her.
