Meanwhile, things have drastically changed for the music legend since her first marriage. "My peace of mind was more important," she said. She left the marriage with her performance nameĀ and little else. According to Entertainment Weekly, Tina gave Ike her share of their business ventures, real estate, and four cars, all of which were worth about $500,000. After she fought hard for a divorce, the couple split and eventually ended their marriage in 1978. In 1976, Tina fled from Ike after a bloody fight, escaping to a nearby hotel. After recovering, she found herself feeling stronger and started planning her escape. In 1968, the singer tried to take her own life. For the first time in years, Tina and her husband Erwin Bach, returned to America, the country whose citizenship she willingly gave up, for the Broadway premiere of her stage show, Tina - The Tina. It had been an abusive relationship, arguments often escalating into violence. Turner had been divorced for seven years at the time from her first husband Ike Turner. A native of Germany, Bach met Turner sometime in 1985. The singer endured years of physical and emotional abuse at the hands of her first husband, who also used drugs and openly cheated on Tina during their marriage. In 2013, he married his long-time girlfriend and the queen of rock and roll, Tina Turner.
However, the marriage was far from perfect.
The couple began singing together and soon started a romantic relationship. Tina met Ike when she was a teenager, and the two instantly formed a musical bond (via Biography). The iconic singer endured years of physical and emotional abuse from her first husband, Ike Turner. Tina Turner may be happily married to her current husband, Erwin Bach.
