Israel Houghton became a father for the first time nearly thirty years ago following the birth of his eldest daughter and welcomed more children over the years with his ex-wife.

After struggling to conceive and enduring a "nerve-wrecking" pregnancy, the couple welcomed a son. For a little over two decades, Israel was married to his ex-wife, Meleasa Houghton , and the former couple welcomed three children : their daughters, Mariah and Milan Lillie Houghton, and their son, Israel Houghton Jr. During an interview , Israel revealed that while he and Meleasa had been married for over twenty years, they were "in a state of separation" for five of those years.
