If you are interested in ballet, then you definitely know such a skilled and gifted ballet dancer as Misty Copeland.
It would be interesting to know that she began attending dancing classes at the age of 13, which is considered to be a late start. Despite this, her talent and hard work always paid off and soon, she was noticed by her drill team coach as well as a ballet teacher. Nothing could stop Misty from pursuing a professional career in a dancing world as it is what she loves doing the most. In 2000 she became a part of an ABT’s Studio Company and after seven years became its soloist.
Having risen to fame and worldwide recognition, she also tried her hand as a writer and public speaker.
But what is known about the celebrity’s personal life? Who are her closest people? Is she married? Does she have children? Let’s find it out!
The father Doug divorced Misty’s mother when she was two years old and the two didn’t see each other for twenty years. In 2004 they reunited and are close till present days. Doug is very proud of all his daughter's achievements. In addition, he often visits her performances and keeps track of them.
The mother’s name is Sylvia. She worked as a sales employee even though she had medical education. She was married four times and has six children. None of her marriages were long-lasting and often led to financial issues. Because of this, she didn’t want her stellar daughter to visit ballet school. That’s why Misty’s teacher Cynthia Bradley took care of a future star. They agreed for Misty to live with a teacher, which would give her an opportunity to keep dancing.
The celebrity has three blood siblings. The first one is Douglas Jr. and it was he who organized a meeting for the dancer and her father.
Erica is an older sister, who works as a destructive physical analysis technician at Seal Laboratories. Since 1996 and up till the present moment, she has been in a long-term relationship with Jeff Busian. The couple shares a daughter.
The third sibling is a brother Christopher. It is only known that he is a lawyer.
Also, there is a half-sister named Lindsay. She was delivered to Sylvia and her third husband. Unfortunately, nothing is known about her occupation but she is a mother to two children.
Cameron is a half-brother, who was born to Sylvia and her fourth spouse. There is no information about his life.
Speaking of Copeland’s personal life, she tied the knot with an attorney and an owner of a Muse Dancewear company, Olu Evans in 2016 and has been living happily with him till present days. These two lovebirds met back in 2004 and after 11 years got engaged. One more year later, they finally walked down the aisle.
The dancer doesn’t have any children yet and doesn’t like sharing any information related to this topic.
