Turner likened her early relationship with Ike Turner to that of a "brother and sister from another lifetime".{{sfn|Turner|Loder|p=73|1986}} They were [[Platonic love|platonic]] friends from the time they met in 1956 until 1960. Their affair began while Ike was with his live-in girlfriend Lorraine Taylor.{{sfn|Turner|Loder|p=|pp=85–86|1986}}{{Sfn|Cawthorne|Turner|1999|p=77}} They became intimate when she went to sleep with him after another musician threatened to go into her room.<ref name="RS-19861023"/>{{sfn|Turner|Loder|p=73|1986}}

After recording "A Fool in Love" in 1960, a pregnant Turner told Ike that she did not want to continue their relationship; he responded by striking her in the head with a wooden shoe stretcher.{{Sfn|Turner|Loder|p=|pp=78–79|1986}} Turner recalled that this incident was the first time he "instilled fear" in her, but she decided to stay with him because she "really did care about him".{{Sfn|Turner|Loder|p=79|1986}} After the birth of their son Ronnie in October 1960, they moved to Los Angeles in 1962 and married in [[Tijuana]]. In 1963, Ike purchased a house in the [[View Park–Windsor Hills, California|View Park]] area.<ref>{{Cite journal |last=Lucas |first=Bob |date=January 1974 |title=Ike and Tina Turner: The Family Next Door |journal=Black Stars |pages=37}}</ref> They brought their son Ronnie, Turner's son Craig, and Ike's two sons with Lorraine (Ike Jr. and Michael) from St. Louis to live with them.{{sfn|Turner|Loder|1986|p=81}}{{Sfn|Cawthorne|Turner|1999|p=|pp=82–83}} She later revealed in ''I, Tina'' that Ike was abusive and [[Promiscuity|promiscuous]] throughout their marriage, which led to her [[suicide attempt]] in 1968 by overdosing on [[Valium]] pills.{{sfn|Gulla|2008|p=174}} She said, "It was my relationship with Ike that made me most unhappy. At first, I had really been in love with him. Look what he'd done for me. But he was totally unpredictable."{{sfn|Turner|Loder|p=91|1986}} Later on, in his old age, Ike was diagnosed with [[bipolar disorder]].<ref name="Christian-2008">{{Cite journal |last=Christian |first=Margena A. |date=October 2008 |title=The Last days of Ike Turner |url= https://books.google.com/books?id=PtMDAAAAMBAJ&q=aillene |journal=Ebony |pages=94–100}}</ref>

By the mid-1970s, Ike was heavily addicted to cocaine, which hindered his relationship with Turner.
