Early Life
Keyshia Cole was born on October 15, 1981, in Oakland, California, USA. Her mother, Francine Lons, was a drug addict and couldn’t take care of her. She went to prison. As a result, Leon and Yvonne Cole, her family friends, adopted her. From there, she got her last name, ‘Cole.’
In 2016, after finding results from a DNA test, she met her biological father for the first time. He was a boxing trainer. Although they are her biological parents, she considers ‘Leon’ and ‘Yvonne’ as her real parents because a parents duty is not only to give birth to a child. They should also nurture their children.
