Smokey Robinson details affair with Diana Ross during first marriage: 'It was beautiful'
foxnews.comSmokey Robinson said that he had a "beautiful" affair with Diana Ross that "just happened" while she was an up-and-coming singer and he was with his first wife. "I was married at the time," he admitted to The Guardian in a piece published Thursday. "We were working together and it just happened.
But it was beautiful. She’s a beautiful lady, and I love her right till today." "She’s one of my closest people," he continued. "She was young and trying to get her career together.

The "You Really Got a Hold on Me" singer also discussed the affair earlier this year, telling VLAD News it lasted "longer than it should have." Robinson, 83, married his first wife and Miracles bandmate Claudette Rogers when he was a teenager, and they were married for 27 years.
