Franklin 'to marry for third time'

Soul legend Aretha Franklin is reportedly set to wed for the third time - to long-term boyfriend Willie Wilkerson Jr.

The 'Respect' star, 65, has been spotted attending wedding dress fittings in New York, with the ceremony expected to take place next month.

Franklin has been married twice before: to former manager Ted White between 1962-1969, and to Glynn Turman from 1978-1984.
