In 1994, 27 year old Kelly married his protégée, 15 year old R&B singer Aaliyah. He had known Aaliyah since she was 12 and had spent the last three years working on her debut album, Age Ain't Nothing But A Number. The Chicago Sun-Times printed a marriage document showcasing the marriage certificate, and noted that Aaliyah had lied about being eighteen when in truth she was only fifteen. The marriage was annulled in February 1995 and neither singer confirmed the marriage rumors, dismissing them as lies.
In 1996, Kelly married Andrea Lee, a dancer from his tour. Together the couple have two daughters and a son. According to Andrea, later in the marriage Kelly became abusive toward her, at one time she filed an emergency protective order against Kelly but later dropped it.
The couple filed for divorce in 2006 . The divorce was finalized on January 8, 2009.
Child pornography trial R. Kelly has been accused of having relationships with underage girls in the past, but none of the prior reports reached the level of publicity that followed the release of a video tape in February 2002. It allegedly showed Kelly and Sparkle's 14-year-old niece engaging in sex. The tape, released by an unknown source, was sent to the Chicago Sun-Times, the newspaper that broke the story. Kelly denied that he was the man in the video.
Bootleg copies of that tape became widely available on the black market and over file sharing networks. In June 2002, Kelly was indicted in Chicago for 21 counts of having sex with a minor, which were later reduced to soliciting a minor for child pornography, seven counts of videotaping the acts, and seven counts of producing child pornography.
