Retired NFL superstar, Cam Newton, admits it hurts that he can't take care of his 8 kids the way he was able to when he was still in the league...
From People
Cam Newton is opening up about a difficult topic.
The former professional athlete, 35, shared a little bit about transitioning away from playing in the NFL during this week's episode of Special Forces. Newton, who left the sport in 2021 after playing for the Carolina Panthers that season, said that it's been hard for him to feel like a "superman" to his eight kids now that he isn't making the same amount of money anymore.
"I'm going into a different phase of my life that's going to require a different form of myself," Newton said on the show. "Being in the NFL, everyone knows there's a large sum of money that comes to you in a short span of time and being away from the game for three years, those checks don't came in the same. Like I got eight kids."
"It hurts me knowing that I can't provide like I once did. It hurts thinking that I'm Superman, but in reality, I'm just a man," he added.
"There's a famous quote that says in order to get something that you've never had, you go to do something that you've never done. At 35, I can literally say, 'Okay now I'm getting prepared for this next chapter of my life.'"
Newton is dad to eight kids — he shares four children with his ex-girlfriend, Kia Proctor — sons Chosen Sebastian, Camidas Swain and Cashmere Saint and daughter Sovereign-Dior Cambella — and helps raise Proctor’s older daughter, Shakira. Newton also shares two children with photographer LaReina Shaw — their son, Caesar and Shaw's older son, Jaden, from a previous relationship.

Doesn't he also have a new baby with that comedian?
He thought he was Superman because he could lay the pipe and pay some bills? What narc. How about he quit making babies before you can't take care of any of them at all.
N199A, STOP SPENDING IT ON OTHER B*T*HES WHO DON'T CARE ABOUT YOU WHILE YOU GOT A WOMAN AT THE CRIB WHO THINKS SHE LOVES YOU ENOUGH TO ACCEPT YOUR WH0RISH WAYS!
He's a religious man who is not so religious. He loves the idea of family but can't follow through with the commitment it takes to maintain one. That's why he keeps making new ones. Money don't have anything to do with his problems because he still has more than most. Those kids are in need of his leadership more than his money and his time is divided by four different households.
Keep having babies black men!
Don't ever be shamed by people who promote baby deletion & then turn around and say "they killing our kids in the streets, the gun violence has to stop!'
Black kids are more likely to be aborted than die from gun violence.See why I expose the Demoncratic party of Satan.
Cause they don't require you to think. 🚌
FUCC That Got to Do with this Fool Going Broke B/C HE FUCCIN' OTHER CHICKS Makin' Babies he can't afford to that care of??????!?
Babies are Expensive to take care of past the 18 customary years one is expected to provide for them! Multiple Babies/kids in different houses ain't gonna do nothing but deplete one's pockets & delete one's bank accts.!
If somebody gotta explain that to you, You Dumb ASF!
I recall when he was taken to task for his comments towards a female reporter that had been deemed sexist when he was a player.
It was then that I knew CN was prolly a sexist pig who didn't know how to respect women.
I lost all respect for him when he said women aren't taught to serve men anymore/ being raised to take care of their men anymore, or some ill sh*t like that.
Not realizing that today's dudes haven't been raised to take care and respect women like they had been in the past and aren't worthy of what they expect of women from the time frame of their great grandparents.
You get what you give/put into the relationship, CN!
Reality
Sovereign-Dior Cambella???
When will yall stop worshipping these yts, Dior, Chanel, Louis... how about King Louis the one who held minorities back.
How about they got these children robbing and stealing just to say they copped that Dior lipstick. Just to feel of worth and substandard in this society. It's sick and it's sad. There's only One name you need in this existence and that's Jesus Christ, GOD.
Dang, I know, but that name is horrible. God is the only
Sovereign being and it dang sure ain't no Dior.
Watch someone read that post and make sure to name their children Sovereign, i don't really care. It was a rant. It's your seed.
I know a few ppl named Sovereign-and three of them are females over the age of 30. So naming ppl Sovereign aint nothing new!
Where you been? lol
This man set up here, made a new baby and he had the audacity to say that he wants more kids. That’s why he’s with that dumb girl because she’ll sit over there and go 50-50 with him and pay her own expenses while he creates more kids that he can’t financially provide for like he wants to
