NFL star Antonio Cromartie is expecting his 14th child. The 33-year-old free agent cornerback and his wife Terricka are expecting their sixth child in September. Terricka was shocked when she was pregnant with twins in 2016, and was shocked again because her husband had a vasectomy in 2011. This will be the couple's third child after Cromartie's surgery. The couple has called these "miracle pregnancies." The couple already has three girls and two boys.
The other eight children
Including his wife, the athlete has impregnated a total of nine different women.
Four of Antonio's kids are eight years old. That means that he got four women pregnant in the same year. His children live in six different states. All of the Baby Mamas get to see each other when they drop their kids off with their father. The mothers and the kids all seem to get along with one another.
Once, Antonio was interviewed on "Hard Knocks," an HBO Sports special back in 2010, and he forgot the name of one of his children. He had 12 children at the time. He reportedly spends more than $58,000 in child support. This amount does not include taking care of the five children at home with him and his wife.
Other athletes
While people might think it is strange that Cromartie has a large number of children with nine different women, it is not unusual for athletes to father children from more than one relationship.
In a list of the top 15 athletes with the most baby mamas, Cromartie is just one of many.
The one with the most children was a soccer player named Manuel Francisco dos Santos, known by the nickname Garrincha, who died in 1983 at the age of 49. He had 14 children, and seemingly just as many baby mamas. Of course, Cromartie is also on the list with his children and nine baby mamas.
However, when his next child is born in September 2017, he will be the biological father of only 13 children because his wife already had a child when they got married. He is a great step-father and treats the child as his own.
The athlete on the list coming close to Cromartie is former Chicago Bulls player Jason Caffey. The 43-year-old has 10 children with eight different women.
Legendary boxer Evander Holyfield, 54, has 11 children with 6 different women. NFL star Travis Henry started having children when he was in high school and fathered another two while in college. The 38-year-old former football running back ended up with 11 children and 10 baby mamas. He is obligated to pay at least $170,000 each year in child support. He was once arrested for failing to support nine of his children.
