Irish singer-songwriter Shuhada Sadaqat was born Sinead Marie Bernadette O’Connor on December 8, 1966.
The Lion and the Cobra, her debut album, debuted on international charts when it was published in 1987.
Her second album, I Do Not Want What I Haven’t Got, was released to rave acclaim and went on to become her biggest commercial hit, selling more than seven million copies worldwide. The Billboard Music Awards named its lead hit, “Nothing Compares 2 U” (written by Prince), the top global single in 1990.
Who fathered Sinead Oconnor’s children?
O’Connor has been married four times and has four kids.
Her first husband, music producer John Reynolds, who also co-produced several of her albums, including Universal Mother, gave birth to her first child, Jake. In 1987, Reynolds and O’Connor got hitched.
After her relationship with her father did not work out, O’Connor had an abortion in 1991. Later, she used the event as the basis for the song “My Special Child.”
After a protracted custody dispute, O’Connor and Roisin’s father, Irish writer John Waters, agreed to let Roisin live in Dublin with Waters. This agreement came about shortly after Roisin was born in 1995.
O’Connor wed British journalist Nick Sommerlad in the middle of 2001; the union broke up in 2004.
Shane, her third child, was born to her and musician Donal Lunny in 2004. Yeshua Francis Neil Bonadio, whose father is Frank Bonadio, is the fourth child she gave birth to in 2006.
O’Connor decided to dissolve her third marriage to her longtime friend and business partner Steve Cooney in late March 2011 after they had been married for three years on July 22, 2010.
Barry Herridge, an Irish therapist, was the fourth man she wed. On December 9, 2011, they got married in Las Vegas, although they only “lived together for seven days only” before calling it quits. O’Connor posted more online comments the next week, on January 3, 2012, claiming that the pair had reconciled.
