Charly Boy and Diane, better known as Lady D, have been married for close to five decades.

In December 2018, the activist revealed why he married his American partner.

“This is not that kind of marriage with fanfare; I am doing it to please my aged mother and meet certain demands of society,” the entertainer had said.

“She has been pleading that we do the right thing, saying this is the woman I have been living with for 40 years.”
