Ann Wilson, who has never married, has two children, a daughter named Marie and a son named Dustin.

As the voice of Heart, Ann Wilson has established an enduring legacy in the world of rock 'n' roll. As her career begins to wind down, Wilson says her goal is to make every last moment count. "Here we are at this point in the band's history and just like with any lifespan, the longer you love,

the longer things look in back of you—and shorter in front of you too. That sense of perspective means that you're much less likely to want to waste any time at all. So there's a even greater sense of mortality, of the stakes involved here and an even stronger desire to make every moment on the album matter."
