Quincy Jones Has 22 Girlfriends Around The Globe
In a new interview with GQ, 84-year-old Quincy Jones divulged that he’s completely through with the idea of committed relationships. “I was told not to marry actresses or singers. I ended up with two actresses, Peggy Lipton and Nastassja Kinski, and a superstar model. I didn’t listen to all the advice.” The has been married and divorced 3 times.
Jones has 4 Broadway plays, 6 albums, 10 movies, and a documentary reportedly in the works, so it’s safe to say that he has the type of schedule that makes it impossible to be tied down to one spot…or one girl. In order to solve that pesky problem, Jones has different girlfriends around the globe, instead of trying to hold it down with one woman while traveling. He told GQ, “[I got] girlfriends everywhere. Cape Town. Cairo. Stockholm—she’s coming in next week. Brazil—Belo Horizonte, São Paulo, and Rio. Shanghai—got a great girl over there from Shanghai, man. Cairo, whew.” He seems to be pretty impressed with his collection…
Due to limitations set in place by his daughters Kidada and Rashida Jones, these women range from ages 28 to 42. What’s most important to Jones, though, is that all of these ladies know exactly what they signed up for. He says, “Yeah, I don’t lie. And it’s amazing—women get it, man. Don’t you ever forget they’re 13 years smarter than we are. Don’t you ever forget it.”
