Family

Parents

Being the son of two ordained Baptist ministers, Thomas Burton was raised in Atlanta. His parents, Thomas Burton Sr. and Sheila J. Tyler-Callaway were also firefighters, and he began playing music in the church. Green lost his father when he was just two years old. When Green was 16 years old, his mother was crippled in a car accident; she passed away in 1993, when Green was 18.

Green’s career with Goodie Mob had only recently started to take off when his mother passed away. In “She Knows” and “A Little Better” from Gnarls Barkley’s The Odd Couple (2008) and “Guess Who” from Goodie Mob’s Soul Food (1995), he would particularly mention the passing of his parents.

Siblings

CeeLo’s only sibling is her sister, Shedonna Alexander. Together with his sister Shedonna Alexander, CeeLo founded the GreenHouse Foundation. It covers a range of subjects, but mostly focuses on teaching students how to live sustainably.

Children

Son

Cee Lo Green and Christina Johnson have only one child, Kingston. On September 30, 2000, they welcomed him. Kingston also began to lean heavily toward the music sector. He must have had plenty of experience singing and writing songs growing up with his father.

Kingston identified himself as a Grammy-winning engineer, producer, and musician on Instagram. Along with several others, he collaborated on the album “333” with Tinashe. Additionally, he has a SoundCloud profile.

Daughter

Sierra Johnson is CeeLo’s stepdaughter from his marriage to Christina Johnson. CeeLo became a grandfather after she gave birth to a baby boy in 2020. Sierra appeared on MTV’s My Super Sweet 16 reality show. Sierra formerly had her own cosmetics business, Kiss & Makeup. It operated successfully for seven years, from 2010 until 2017, when it was dissolved.

Ex-Wife

After proposing to his longtime girlfriend Shani James while they were both in the studio, Cee Lo confirmed in 2015 that they had been engaged for a year. The musician revealed to People how he had bought a ring that the pair had discovered months before and had hidden it in some old equipment.

He requested Shani to reach inside the equipment when they were both in the studio to get something, and she ended up finding Cee Lo’s secret gift. Since then, they’ve been engaged. Before dating Shani, Ce eLo had a five-year marriage to Christina Johnson, which ended in divorce in 2005.

Cars

Back in the 1920s and 1930s, when the automobiles were first manufactured, they were an obvious show of wealth. Finding a restored Speedster today is extremely difficult, hence the high price. CeeLo, on the other hand, does not have to be concerned about a meager $130,000.
