ILOSM family, in case any of us needed a visual reminder of just how Old School we really are, get ready to receive that affirmation. The iconic Stevie Wonder, as we all know, has 9 children by 5 mothers. He clearly loves the idea of building a tribe, or at least a small Wonder football team, and we ain’t mad at that one bit. Due to the fact that most of his children stay away from the spotlight, his 16 year old son, Kailand Morris, has grown up hella fast, right up under our noses. Wait ’til ya’ll see Stevie’s not so little son now. He’s doing BIG things by way…
Stevie Wonder’s Son Is A Model!
Kailand is the result of his Pops’ marriage to his mother, Kai Millard Morris. They were married in 2001, had two kids, separated in 2011, and ultimately divorced in 2015. When most of us last saw them together as a family, Kailand and his brother, Mandla (13), pretty much looked like this…

Fast forward to now and Kailand is a professional fashion model, who looks more like a young man, rather than a 16 year old kid in his photoshoots. Here he is today (swipe left)…

Of course his parents couldn’t be more proud of him for pursuing his dreams. Matter of fact, his mother, Kai, has her fair share of proud mommy moments on social media. She often shares Kai’s modeling gigs, including his walk down the runway during 2018 New York Fashion Week for clothing brand, Phillip Plein…
Well known fashion industry photographer, Tobyn Nguyen, has recently labeled Kailand as the “kid” who “is going far” in the fashion game…

Wonder Parties With Son & Ex
Kailand will be making his 17th birthday in September 2018. Although he looks like he’s all business in his photoshoots, let’s not get it twisted, he still likes to get his party on, just like he did with his parents for his lavish 16th birthday last year. From the looks of it, Stevie jumped on the mic that night to grace the crowd; Kailand got a new Mercedes truck; and rapper, Travis Scott, performed. Kailand’s parents also showed that even though they’re divorced, the family that parties together, stays together. Check out the happy fam’ living it up for Kailand’s 16th below…

As we previously reported, Stevie and his current wife, Tomeeka Bracy (43), began dating back in 2012, shortly after Wonder and Kai Millard Morris separated. Stevie and Tomeeka have two kids together and they officially said “I do” in 2017, during a private, plush ceremony at Hotel Bel-Air in Los Angeles, CA.

Their wedding stirred up a lotta hype in the press, because the Mr. and Mrs. reportedly took great lengths to keep it on the hush. According to reports, their 160 guests had to sign a $1 million confidentiality agreement, which prohibited them from sharing photos and video with the public. Stevie Wonder’s kids range in age from 3 to 43 (yep, Stevie was a busy dude) and according to People Magazine, all 9 children participated in Stevie’s and Tomeeka’s wedding.
Overall, Stevie Wonder is close to all of his children and clearly has long ago made the decision that no matter how demanding his career is, he will always see to it that his kids are his top priority.
