Young was married twice: to Marion McClellan (1947-54) and then to Nadine Drake (1955-1960)… In 1989, when he was 71 years old, Young was sued by a former girlfriend named Annivory Calvert, who said Young was the father of her six-year-old son. Paternity tests confirmed the charge and Young agreed to pay child support. Their son, Joel Loving, later took the name Coleman Young, Jr. and was elected as a state senator from Michigan’s 4th District in 2006.
