Cam Newton is proud to be a father
Newton once said in an Instagram post he made on Father’s Day 2021, “A Daddy isn’t defined as the man who makes the child (NOT in all instances) but rather, a MAN who extends his hands and time to help with the child’s raising.”
Newton said that a father is also someone who dedicates their “heart to love the child through anything! Blood doesn’t always make you ‘Daddy.’”
As mentioned in Hollywood Life, Newton expressed that being a dad is a matter of the heart, and he believes that anyone can father a child, but it takes a real man to raise them.
He acknowledged and congratulated all genuine fathers worldwide and wished them a happy Father’s Day. He wrote, “Anybody can make a baby, but it takes a real man to raise a child. Kudos to all the real men worldwide. Happy Father’s Day to us!”
How many kids does Cam Newton have?
While Newton is no Nick Cannon, who has 12 kids, the former is still a father of seven kids. Among his seven kids, five are his biological children. Likewise, he has also stepped forward and adopted the children of his girlfriends.
That said, let’s have a brief introduction with all of his seven children!
Chosen Sebastian Newton
Chosen Sebastian Newton is the first and oldest child of Cam, whom he shares with his now-former girlfriend Kia Proctor. Chosen, of African American ethnicity, was born on December 24, 2015, making him 7 years of age as of now.
Among Cam’s seven children, Chosen is by far the most popular one. As for how Chosen was named Chosen, Cam once revealed that he didn’t want to name his child after himself and wanted a name for his son that was both unique and masculine.
As mentioned above, Chosen is currently 7 years of age. However, Cam hopes Chosen will follow in his footsteps and play American football. Besides, he once joked that Chosen had already started receiving scholarship offers from different colleges.
Jokes apart, Cam loves his first child very much. He had also written a Father’s Day poem for his son where he told Chosen to be a better man and ensure that he would always protect his mother and younger siblings.
Sovereign-Dior Cambella Newton
After exactly a year after Chosen was born, Cam’s parents announced that he was expecting a second child with his then-girlfriend, Proctor. And in early 2017, the now-former couple welcomed a daughter named Sovereign-Dior Cambella Newton.
At that time, the NFL star didn’t disclose his daughter’s date of birth, leading people to wonder if his daughter was either born in February 2017 or April 2017. Thankfully, the speculations were cleared by Cam, revealing Sovereign-Dior was born on February 3, 2017.
Similarly, Sovereign-Dior’s birth date wasn’t the only thing that Cam kept hidden, as he also didn’t reveal her face until December of the same year. In December 2017, he finally shared a picture of his daughter taken alongside his other family members.
When Sovereign-Dior was three-year-old, Cam and Proctor decided to part ways. At the time, Cam revealed that he didn’t share the wedding vows with the mother of her two kids because he wasn’t prepared to be a better husband.
Camidas Swain Newton
Camidas Swain Newton is the third child, or the second son, of Cam and Proctor. Camidas was born on July 6, 2018, in Atlanta, Georgia. As Cam is American, Camidas also holds American nationality. Similarly, his ethnicity is African-American.
By the time Camidas was born, Cam and Proctor had been in a romantic relationship for six years, and things seemed to be going well. Besides, fans, close friends, and relatives of the couple were eagerly expecting the couple to get engaged and see them plan their wedding.
However, things turned sour between the couple — Camidas was only one-year-old at the time. One thing led to another, and by 2019, the couple announced their breakup. It was also reported that the two split after Cam was caught cheating on Proctor with LaReina Shaw, an Instagram model.
Cashmere Saint Newton
Before Newton and Proctor finally went on their separate ways, the then-couple welcomed their fourth and last biological children, a son named Cashmere Saint Newton. Proctor confirmed her pregnancy news via an Instagram post in May 2019.
And on September 30, 2019, she gave birth to Cashmere. That said, the parents initially kept privacy around their baby boy’s name and face and finally revealed it in December 2019, when Proctor posted a family photo during Christmas.
Shortly after Cashmere’s birth, Proctor learned that Cam had impregnated someone else and that the woman he was having an affair with had given birth to their baby around the same time as Cashmere’s birth. This led to the end of Cam’s relationship with Proctor.

Later, during his appearance in a podcast, Cam referenced his split with Proctor and mentioned that he betrayed his long-time partner and jeopardized the family he had created with her by not only having an affair but also welcoming a child with that woman.
Following the split of Cam and Proctor, the custody of their four children – Chosen, Sovereign-Dior, Camidas, and Cashmere – was given to Proctor. That said, Cam still had visitation rights, so he was still very much involved in his children’s lives.
As for what happened after Cam and Proctor’s split, the two initially fought a legal battle over child support, with Proctor asking the court to order Cam to pay her $1500 per month as child support. The two eventually settled on co-parenting.
Shakira Whitley
Shakira Whitley is the first of Cam’s adopted kids. Whitley is Proctor’s daughter from her previous relationship — Whitley was born on February 17, 2007, making her 16 years of age now.
As of this writing, there has been no mention of Whitley’s biological father. And while Cam might have known who the father was, he decided to ignore it and adopted Whitley when he started dating Proctor — Whitley was 5-year-old when Cam adopted her.

It was only three years after Cam adopted Whitley that he and Proctor welcomed their first biological child, Chosen. So, many might even regard Whitley was the first child of Cam and Proctor.
After adopting Whitley, everything changed for Cam. Besides, he once mentioned Whitley as the girl who came and changed his life. And even though he wasn’t married to Proctor, nobody could tell her he wasn’t her dad.
As of 2023, it’s known that Whitley is enrolled at Atlanta-based Midtown High School, formerly called Henry W. Grady High School. Furthermore, Whitley and her half-siblings currently reside with Proctor, while still maintaining a good relationship with Cam.
Caesar Lorenzo Newton
Caesar Lorenzo Newton is the fifth biological child of Cam and his sixth of all his children. Born on July 4, 2019, Caesar is the son of Cam from his fling with Instagram model, LaReina Shaw.
As mentioned above, Caesar was born around the same time when Cam was still together with his then-girlfriend Proctor and the then-couple were about to welcome their son Cashmere. At that time of Caesar’s birth, Cam had already split with Shaw.

In one of his interviews, Cam had indicated that the circumstances leading to the birth of his fifth and fourth child was a mistake which eventually cost him his relationship with Proctor. And while it was embarrassing, he didn’t kept Caesar hidden from the world.
Jaden Amarrio
Jaden Amarrio is another of Cam’s adopted children and the oldest of all his kids. Amarrio is the son of Shaw from her her previously relationship — Shaw welcomed Amarrio when she was around 20-year-old.
Amarrio was born on February 19, 2006, making him 17 years old now. Following his birth, Shaw raised him as a single mother. That said, it’s still unknown who Amarrio’s biological father is as neither Shaw nor Amarrio has given away any details about that man.
Similarly, it’s also remains a mystery when Cam and Shaw first began and began their affair. But what’s known to the public is that Amarrio became a member of Cam’s family after the birth of Caesar, and Cam chose to become a father figure in Amarrio’s life as well.
Fast forward to now, Cam and Amarrio have built a great relationship, which is also visible on their respective social media handles where they often feature each other alongside a heartfelt caption.
For instance, during one of Amarrio’s birthdays, Cam wished him via social media and assured him that he was going to be there for him no matter what. In another instance, Cam posted a picture of his sons, including Amarrio, and said he was raising princes into kings.

Throughout the history of the NBA, there have been a number of father/son combinations that have told their own special story. From Joe and Kobe Bryant to Mychal and Klay Thompson to Bill and Luke Walton, but none of the duos have been given the opportunity that may be taking to the court for the 2024-25 season.
Whether it be on Wednesday, June 26, or the following evening, Bronny James, LeBron’s oldest son, will likely hear his name be called across the NBA Draft stage at the Barclays Center. In a draft class void of elite names that have highlighted previous drafts such as Victor Wembanyama or Zion Williamson, one name that has stood out more than any other of the potential sixty that will be called over the two-night event belongs to LeBron Raymone James Jr. better known simply as Bronny James. Should Bronny hear his name, he will be one step closer to creating history by playing in the NBA at the same time as his father, and possibly even on the same team.
Having lived under a microscope since birth as the oldest child of LeBron James, arguably the greatest basketball player to ever lace up a pair of sneakers, Bronny has had the eyes of the sports world on him since he picked up a basketball.
As a kid, the younger James found himself on national highlight reels from his youth basketball games. After playing one year of high school with Crossroads School in Santa Monica, California, James transferred to Sierra Canyon, a powerhouse prep school with a basketball roster that featured other elite-level talent.
At the end of his four-year high school career, James would be named a McDonald’s All-American and a member of the United States Nike Hoop Summit team, while earning a four-star ranking as a top thirty recruit for the next stage in his life, college.
Unfortunately for Bronny, his much-heralded arrival on the college scene with the USC Trojans would be put on the back burner as he suffered a cardiac arrest during a preseason practice that delayed his debut until December 10. Averaging just 4.8 (shooting 36%FG and 26% 3FG) 2.1 assists and 2.8 rebounds while starting six of twenty-five games,
Despite a less-than-spectacular freshman season, Bronny decided to test the waters of the NBA Draft and participated in the combine. While his measurements and game performance provided mixed results, Sparking interest from both the Phoenix Suns and the LA Lakers, Bronny made the decision to remain in the draft class rather than return to college for another season.
While many believe that Bronny is far from a lock for a first-round pick, his potential and lineage give some GMs hope that he will live up to the lofty standards set by his father, fans, and the media.
Yes Bronny has a strong basketball IQ and yes his defensive awareness is better than the average draft prospect, but his shooting consistency, next-level explosiveness, and athleticism remain in question. However the crux of the matter since day one: is James being fairly evaluated on his talent and ability to is it because of his last name? Is the pressure placed on Bronny by everyone around him to live up to the standard, or even a portion of it, that his father has set over the past two decades fair? No. And neither will the media circus that will undoubtedly follow him.
With Bronny James entering the draft, betting apps are buzzing with speculation about his landing spot. While the Lakers (picks 17 & 56) and Suns (pick 22) hold the cards, the odds are they’ll avoid a first-round pick with its guaranteed contract. The Lakers remain the betting favorite to use their late second-round pick (56th) on Bronny, but darkhorses like the rebuilding Atlanta Hawks or young Oklahoma City Thunder might offer a better environment for his development. The question remains: will Bronny be drafted for genuine need or become part of a marketing ploy, or even bait to lure his legendary father for a final championship run?
Regardless of where James ends up, the stories that will be told will create a moment that transcends the game itself. Blending legacy and potential, Bronny James’ NBA journey is going to be one of the most unique stories in history. For every parent who dreams that their child will follow in their footsteps, the James family will have the opportunity to share a moment together in front of thousands in attendance and millions on television, whether they wear the same or opposing uniforms that no other players in NBA history can claim.
Baseball, often hailed as America’s pastime, is steeped in a rich tradition and history that spans well over a century. Central to this history are intense rivalries that ignite passion in players and fans alike.
These rivalries are more than just annual matchups; they embody a deep-seated competition and a clash of cultures, showcasing the heart and soul of Major League Baseball. From historic battles to modern-day showdowns, the significance of these rivalries goes beyond the diamond, weaving into the very fabric of the sport.
Below, we will delve into the histories of five of the most famous MLB rivalries, exploring how they began, key moments that have defined them, and their impact on the legacy of baseball.
New York Yankees vs. Boston Red Sox
The New York Yankees’ and Boston Red Sox’s rivalry is among the most storied in Major League Baseball history. Dating back over a century, it was ignited by the 1919 sale of Babe Ruth from the Red Sox to the Yankees, an event believed to have started the “Curse of the Bambino.”
While the Yankees have earned 27 World Series titles, the Red Sox broke their 86-year championship drought with a historic comeback in the 2004 ALCS against the Yankees. This intense rivalry is marked by fierce competition on the field and high-stakes drama off it, captivating fans and shaping the sport’s landscape.
Keeping an eye on the Baseball Game Odds can provide an insightful edge for those interested in predicting the outcomes of these thrilling matchups.
Whether played at Yankee Stadium or Fenway Park, games between the Yankees and Red Sox are major events, drawing extensive media coverage and immense fan interest. As each season unfolds, the rivalry continues to be a compelling aspect of baseball, exemplifying the spirit and excitement of the sport.
Chicago Cubs vs. St. Louis Cardinals
Another well-known MLB rivalry involves two teams from the East Coast, but the greatest one is in the heartland. The competition between the St. Louis Cardinals and the Chicago Cubs extends beyond baseball.
This is a battle for supremacy between two cities separated by merely 300 miles. It’s often dubbed the Route 66 or I-55 rivalry, named after the highways that link them. Despite being in different states, with the Cubs based in Illinois and the Cardinals in Missouri, the most intense fan competition occurs in Illinois.
Most people support the Cubs (or White Sox) in northern Illinois, while southern Illinois leans towards the Cardinals. Many inhabitants of rural Illinois find themselves stuck in the middle of this rivalry, which reflects a broader competitive spirit between the two cities.
In the late 1800s, St. Louis was a prosperous port city on the Mississippi River and a crucial hub for westward trade, overshadowing Chicago. The city even inspired the Gateway Arch symbol. However, St. Louis made a critical error by dismissing railroads as a fad, betting instead on the perpetual importance of river trade.
Consequently, railroads were built through Chicago, leading to its rapid growth and economic dominance. By 1901, this shift was starkly highlighted when Chicago reversed the flow of the Chicago River to send its sewage down to St. Louis, further driving a wedge between the two cities.
Los Angeles Dodgers vs. San Francisco Giants
The “Shot Heard ‘Round the World” in 1951 remains one of baseball’s most iconic moments, echoing the sport’s history. Clayton Kershaw’s impressive career 1.88 ERA against his team’s biggest rival continues haunting Bay Area fans.
The notorious 1965 altercation, in which Juan Marichal swung a bat at catcher Johnny Roseboro, underscores the fierce rivalry between these teams every time they meet.
The San Francisco Giants and Los Angeles Dodgers rivalry marks its 133rd season this week. The rivalry remains thrilling as the two teams prepare to face each other for the first time in 2022, following a historic 2021 NL West race and their first postseason meeting in the modern era.
The Giants achieved a franchise record with 107 wins in a single season, yet the Dodgers emerged victorious in the postseason. This continues a pattern: no other professional sports rivalry is as evenly matched as this one.
New York Mets vs. Philadelphia Phillies
The rivalry between the New York Mets and the Philadelphia Phillies is among the most engaging in Major League Baseball history. Stemming from their geographical and divisional proximity, this competition has delivered many unforgettable moments since the Mets joined the National League in 1962.
Both teams have had their dominant periods, intensifying the rivalry. Key highlights include the dramatic games of the 1980s and the high-stakes clashes of the late 2000s. Notably, in 2007 and 2008, the Mets’ collapses allowed the Phillies to capture the National League East title, heightening the tension.
The rivalry is further amplified by passionate fans whose fervent support creates a playoff-like atmosphere during regular-season games.
Detroit Tigers vs. Cleveland Guardians
The rivalry between the Detroit Tigers and the Cleveland Guardians, formerly the Cleveland Indians, is a storied and intense matchup in MLB history. Originating in the early 20th century, this rivalry has been marked by countless memorable moments and legendary players.
The rivalry has only intensified over time, from the early competitive play to heated encounters in the 1940s and 1950s featuring pitchers like Bob Feller and Hal Newhouser.
The 1990s saw another surge, with players like Kenny Lofton and Albert Belle for Cleveland and Travis Fryman and Cecil Fielder for Detroit. The 2007 tie-breaker game was a recent highlight, epitomizing the enduring competitive spirit between the two teams.
Conclusion
These five famous MLB rivalries illustrate the rich tapestry of competition that has shaped Major League Baseball. Each rivalry carries its unique history, characterized by monumental moments, legendary players, and passionate fan bases that elevate the sport to a theatrical level.
