Tom Jones was one of the most popular artists in the mid-’60s, spanning more than five decades. However, his love for women equaled his talent.
Sir Tom Jones was an outstanding singer and one of the most well-known figures of the late twentieth century. Jones competed with some of the very best in the music industry and earned his place as an icon.
Some of his songs like “It’s Not Unusual,” “Green Green Grass of Home,” “Delilah,” “Till,” and “A Boy From Nowhere” are still popular tunes decades after he released them.
Jones was not only a great singer, but he was also a passionate lover. He was wedded to Melinda Rose Trenchard for nearly six decades, yet his love for her did not prevent him from cheating on her.
His followers adored Jones, and his relations with them occasionally crossed moral boundaries. Jones had a thing for ladies; he struggled to resist the allure of the numerous women who came to him.
Jones had tuberculosis at the time and spent two years healing in bed. After he recovered, he rebuilt his connection with Trenchard, who he said never failed to smile at him while she walked to school in Treforest, South Glamorgan. But, despite his passionate young love, she refused to date Jones until she turned 15.
The couple decided to follow their hearts and tied the knot in their little Welsh village in 1957. She was only 16 at the time, and Jones was a far cry from the man the world would come to admire, although he always had the talent.
Jones and Trenchard wasted no time in starting their family. Soon after they got married, the couple welcomed Mark, who would become their only child together. Mark grew up to be a massive part of their lives and, at some point, worked as his father’s manager.
After many rumors of his affairs went unnoticed, Trenchard finally reacted to her husband’s infidelity after he was photographed kissing former Miss World Marjorie Wallace.
Recalling the incident, Jones confessed that his wife was heartbroken and hit him while he stood there taking the beating because he felt he deserved it. However, Jones continued his cheating ways.
Although it’s been decades of having no contact with his father, Jonathan still keeps his dream alive. The 34-year-old is a singer just like his dad, but he has never been able to count on Jones’s support.
The absence of his father led him into several vices, including drugs and other abuses. Jonathan said he mixed with the wrong crowd and found himself homeless, living in the street.
Jonathan never received a phone call or birthday card from his dad, which ruined his childhood, causing him to grow into an angry kid. However, he has put those days behind but still hopes for a relationship with the legend.
