Booker T Opens up about Relationship with His Three Kids

Booker T. Huffman Jr, best known as Booker T., is a dotting father to his kids. Unfortunately, it was not always the same.

He has three kids to date —  two sons and a daughter. He shares his first son, Brandon, with his ex-girlfriend from high school. 

He has twins with his present wife, Sharmell Sullivan-Huffman, son Kendrick, and daughter Kennedy. Before welcoming the twins, the wrestler believed he would not be a good father.

This is because of the relationship he had with his firstborn.

Does Booker T have a son?

Booker T. has three children. He shares his first son, Brandon, with his ex-girlfriend from high school. 

The wrestler was 19 then, and his baby mama was 17. He started ignoring her, but still, she kept their son. 

Regardless, he worked at Fiesta Mart to support their kid. He also began lifting steaks and did whatever he could to help his family. 

Unfortunately, it was not working in their favor. Booker T had a difficult childhood which eventually led him toward the life of a felon.

After pleading guilty to armed robberies at Wendy’s restaurants in Houston, he was imprisoned for nineteen months. He and his associates wore Wendy’s uniforms during the holdups since they had worked there for two and a half years.

Police assumed the robberies were inside jobs because of the shooters’ clothes and expertise in the operation of the fast food chain. It didn’t take long for Booker T. and three other men to be apprehended. 

In December 1987, he pled guilty to two charges of aggravated robbery and was sentenced to five years in prison. After 19 months, he was freed and placed on parole until April 1992. 

He found a job at American Mini Storage while finishing his parole and gaining custody of his son, Brandon, 6, who had been given to child protective services due to his mother’s inability to care for him. 

Even though he had custody of his son, the two did not have a good bond. Booker T claimed that he did the best he could, but unfortunately, they ended up not speaking to each other. 

Brandon fell in trouble with the law, and the father-son duo eventually drifted apart.

Booker T.’s kids with his present wife

Booker T. has often talked about how he was not a good father to Brandon. He wrote in Crixeo how he thought he would not be a dotting dad to his future kids.

But after getting married to his present wife, Sharmell, he realized that she wanted children. So, he tried for her, and Sharmell got pregnant in 2008 and 2009. 

Unfortunately, both times, Sharmell miscarried. Booker T. wrote, “The experience of having and losing children brings you to a completely different place. You’re hurt, distraught and upset you lost something so precious before you ever really had a chance to embrace it.”

Fortunately, Sharmell got pregnant again in 2010 and welcomed their rainbow babies. Currently, Booker T. has two children with his second wife. 

Sharmell gave birth to twins —  a son named Kendrick and a daughter named Kennedy —  in 2010. The wrestler welcomed his twins 25 years after he had Brandon. 

He wrote, “I thought about how I wasn’t there for my oldest son and how I had a second chance to make up for my past mistakes.” So, welcoming his children made him want to be a “real father.”

Currently, he takes care of his kids and loves them a lot. He often gushes about them and tries to be the best dad in the world for them.
