The Truth About Willie Nelson's Talented Daughter, Paula Nelson

Willie Nelson married Shirley Collie, his second wife, in 1963, and they divorced in 1971 after she found a hospital bill charged to her husband and Connie Koepke for the birth of their child — Paula Carlene Nelson — two years earlier, in 1969. Though Paula was born out of wedlock, her parents married after Collie discovered Nelson's infidelity. They then had another child, Amy Lee Nelson, who is Paula's only full sibling (via People).

Paula had an interesting childhood, often going on tour with her father, though she mostly grew up in Colorado (via The Mountain Jackpot News). However, at 16 her family relocated to Austin, TX, and she started at Westlake High School, where she began using drugs, including cocaine. She spent time at a rehabilitation center in San Diego, CA, and eventually became a counselor herself (via The Austin Chronicle).
