Her first son was born just before her 13th birthday! Her second was born months before she turned 15! Franklin went on to have two more children by her late 20s. Luckily, Franklin had help from her aunt and grandmother to raise her sons, allowing the  teenage mom to become the 18 time Grammy Award winning songstress she is today.
