This Legendary Singer Had to Take DNA Test for His Homeless Second Son Whom He Never Saw & Denied for 20 Years
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 and Melinda
Jones and Trenchard had a remarkable love story. In his 2015 memoir, “Over the Top and Back,” the singer revealed that he first fell in love with her in his pre-teen years.
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.
Jones and His Affairs
Shortly after getting married, Jones released his first set of songs, and these chart-topping tunes quickly made him a household figure. Jones’s career carried him worldwide but largely away from his wife and his plethora of female fans.
His female admirers were said to have had a legendary relationship with him, with some even hurling their panties on the platform in an attempt to gain his attention. During his tours, the singer’s dressing room became a place for him to have casual sex with fans.
Despite all his multiple affairs, Jones did not consider any of them serious and said leaving his wife was never an option. Jones claimed to have slept with about 250 women in a year at the height of his fame, but he harbors no regret.
