Jamal Edwards’ family is turning heads following the music pioneer’s sudden death in 2022. Fans were interested to find out more about his biological father, sister, and wife. Keep scrolling as we cover all of that in this article.
Who are the family members of Jamal Edwards?
Jamal Edwards, a pioneer of the British music industry, died in February 2022. He is survived by his mother Brenda Edwards and sister Tanisha Edwards.
According to his Facebook, he was also very close to his mother’s side of his family. In December 2020, Jamal opened up about his maternal grandparents who died in a car accident when his mother was just 4 years old at the time.
He added: “I wish they could see all of us now, since they started modestly in St. Vincent and the Grenadines, they would probably be very proud of what we have all accomplished. Their story and the fact that I didn’t get to meet them is part of the reason I feel so connected to a country I’ve never visited before, so I thought I’d change that.”
His mother, Brenda, needs no introduction. She is best known as a panelist on the television show “Loose Women.” But when Brenda was diagnosed with cancer, it was hard for Jamal. In an interview he said: “My mom [ X Factor star Brenda Edwards] obtain a diagnosis of breast cancer. She didn’t know how to deal with it. One of the things it took away from me was my self-confidence and positivity. That got her through it. But that positivity left me.
He further added: “They found advanced stage cancer, she lost her hair and as a result my head was all over the place. But she smiled through it. She is now in remission. She is in Loose Women and is on tour for Sister Act 2. Life has changed now. I learned that when it rains outside, it can be sunny inside your brain.”
Biological father Jamal Edwards
Jamal Edwards never knew his biological father. But he talked about his father on his Twitter.
In June 2013, Jamal tweeted: “Too bad I see so many posts about dad not being there for them…” Another tweet followed, “…if you’re a new parent make sure you’re there for your kids and don’t become a stereotypical statistic that you’re not there.”
She then talked about her biological father: “I don’t even know where my real father is, I don’t know who he is, one day it might be nice to know what happened, but I love my stepfather.”
However, her wishes to know something about her birth father probably did not come to pass at the time of his death. These 2013 tweets were the only time Jamal addressed his father.
However, various news outlets reported that his father had a brief relationship with his mother, Brenda, when she became pregnant at age 20.
Who is Jamal Edwards’ stepfather?
Jamal Edwards, however, had a father figure in his life. He was raised by his stepfather Patrick Edwards. His stepfather worked as a mortgage broker and provided him with cameras and equipment in the early days of his experimentation.
Brenda Edwards married Patrick Edwards in 1996. She entered Brenda’s life when Jamal was just five years old. Jamal respected and loved his stepfather. In 2012, he wrote, “I wake up in the morning motivated to make this SBTV so my mom/dad never has to work another day in her life.”
However, the relationship turned violent years later.
Brenda also opened up about the abusive nature of the relationship in September 2020 during an emotional interview on the Today show. She spoke of fearing for her life when she was punched in the face and threatened with a knife two years after she ran away from an abusive boyfriend. She revealed that she would “blame herself” for her partner’s violent and manipulative behavior, but she ended up leaving her boyfriend after he strangled her over “a lost apple pie.”
Brenda did not disclose the abuse to her family because it would have made things worse. She was planning to elope with her best friend. After a brief discussion between her, her friend, and Patrick, they went out. Jamal’s mother had been missing for two years and she felt like she was rebuilding her home until her partner showed up unannounced.
Brenda also discovered that Patrick had become a completely different man than someone she had fallen in love with.
