GRAMMY award-winning singer Aretha Franklin is engaged to her long-time boyfriend William Wilkerson. The couple is considering tying the knot on a yacht in Miami Beach, Florida. “We’re looking at June or July for our date, and no, I’m not pregnant,”  Franklin said.
It will be the third wedding for Franklin, who has four children.

She was married to her then manager, Ted White, during the 1960s and split from her second husband actor Glynn Turman in 1984 after five years together.

The 69-year-old singer, who lost 39 kgs last year, recently said she is feeling “fabulous” again after suffering from a serious health issue in 2010.
The Chain of Fools singer was reported to have been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer –– claims Franklin denied.

However, she did undergo an unidentified surgery in December that year and she had cancelled concerts and personal appearances up until May.
Her more transformed physique has now promoted rumours she underwent gastric bypass surgery.

But Franklin said in a recent interview that she “would never” go under the surgeon’s knife for weight loss surgery. –– Daily Mail.
