Former NFL star Cam Newton opened up on his thoughts about women having children with multiple fathers in a recent podcast.
“It’s Giving” host Sarah Fontenot talked to the former Carolina Panthers star about having a child and bringing a new man into her life. She asked Newton whether he felt like a woman’s “value gets lowered when they have multiple children by multiple men.”
“I just think that the reality of that answer is that women’s value gets lowered the more children that they have,” he said on the podcast. “I was having this conversation with one of the mothers of my children and she’s still fine. Like, I was telling her, ‘The guy that you’re dating or will date, if he ain’t willing to love on these five children that you have, he ain’t the guy for you.’
“Because when I came into your life, I was willing to accept you and whatever you had and there’s guys that’s out there that’s going to say, ‘Them ain’t my kids. I want you.’ Well, that ain’t how that works. But that’s not to say you can’t find nobody. I’m pretty sure she has somebody.”
Fontenot pressed Newton further, asking whether he believed that’s the best she could do if she didn’t have kids. Newton said that he didn’t feel like she could do better than him.

She added that she didn’t feel like most women did better than the man who is the father of their children.
“It’s real love. I owe a service to them,” he said. “I will forever be indebted to them because no matter how they make me feel, once I come back to the ground of, ‘Yo, that’s still the mother of my children.’ It’s like one of those family business type of situations. We can have our spats, but when we leave this door, you’ll never necessarily know and we know, individually, like, bro, don’t talk to me right now.
“But then, certain things will happen, and you know you could count on me. It’s just our toxic thrill.”
Newton said that as he’s gotten older he’s come to terms with controlling his thinking, “altering” himself and “controlling the negativity.”
The one-time NFL MVP has nine children, five with one woman and the rest with others.
