He’s been married twice, but the mother this time is his latest girlfriend, Tomeeka Robyn Bracy, 40, who also gave birth to a child by Wonder last year.
“It’s Stevie’s mechanism for his happiness,” a family source told The New York Post. “I don’t know that he set out to have 11 children, including triplets at his age, but it’s not like he isn’t happy about it or he can’t afford children.”
They will be the ninth, 10th and 11th children for the R & B icon, who has eight children by five different women.

Earlier this year, Wonder attended 26-year-old son Kwame Morris’ graduation from Morehouse College. He was also recently filmed goofing around with young son Kailand, 12, and daughter Mandla, nine.
“He knows that being a father is a full-time job and now that he’s a little older, he feels like he’s up to the task and he doesn’t want to let any of them down,” the source said.
Although Wonder and longtime spokeswoman Shelley Selover are keeping mum about the relationship with Bracy, who hails from Atlanta, those closely associated with the Superstitious singer said fathering children keeps Wonder occupied these days more than music.
The women in his life, including his ex-wives Kai Milla Morris and the late Syreeta Wright, and those with whom he fathered children, Yolanda Simmons and Melody McCulley, have been cordial after parting ways, sources said.
