In the 1980’s Spector began dating a woman named Janis Zavala.

They had a son and daughter, Nicole Audrey Spector and Phillip Spector Jr. who passed away in 1991 of leukemia.

Who were his ex-wives? 

Spector was first married to Annette Merar, a lead vocalist of the Spectors Three.

The band was formed and produced by Spector in the 1960’s.

During his marriage, he was allegedly having an affair with a woman named Veronica Bennett, later known as Ronnie Spector.

Bennett was the lead singer of The Ronettes, another group Spector oversaw and produced.

Spector divorced Merar in 1966 and married Bennett in 1968.

Bennett wrote in her memoir Be My Baby: How I Survived Mascara, Miniskirts And Madness that Spector allegedly controlled her every move and subjected her to emotional distress while married.

She noted that she escaped their home barefoot and with the help of her mother back in 1972.

Their divorced settled in 1974, with Bennett reportedly forfeiting all future record earnings because she alleged that Spector threatened her with a “hitman”.

In September of 2006, Spector married girlfriend Rachelle Short.

After a decade of marriage, the two divorced in April of 2016 as they cited "irreconcilable differences."
