Ella Fitzgerald and Ray Brown divorced primarily due to the challenges of maintaining their relationship amidst their demanding careers in the music industry. Despite their deep affection for one another, the pressures of touring and their respective commitments led to growing apart. Their marriage, which lasted from 1947 to 1953, ultimately could not withstand the strains of their professional lives. Despite their divorce, they remained friends and continued to support each other's careers.

I think ella Fitzgerald had children because when you go to her website it says she loves pending time with ray brown and her granddaughter Alice. Ella Fitzgerald had one adopted son. She could not have children, so she adopted her sister's last-born child.
