Former Carolina Panthers quarterback Cam Newton has made headlines because of his growing family. The 36-year-old veteran NFL quarterback revealed that Newton, his ninth child, was born to him and his girlfriend, Jasmin Brown. Fans’ reactions via the internet were huge, and it went viral almost instantly.
“And he is broke now,” one fan quipped, summarizing much of the social media humor surrounding the news.

During a sneak peek of the upcoming October 16 episode of The Tamron Hall Show, Newton confirmed that his newest child had already arrived. “Oh, he’s already here,” the former MVP told Hall with a grin. Newton and Brown, who began dating in 2022, already share a 19-month-old daughter.
The couple’s growing family has drawn significant attention across NFL circles and social media. Newton, known for his charismatic personality and celebrated 2015 MVP season, is now a father to nine children, including five biological kids with ex-girlfriend Kia Procter, and two with Brown. He also helps raise two adopted children, including Procter’s daughter from a previous relationship.
Earlier this year, Brown celebrated the pregnancy in a Mother’s Day post, writing, “Feeling ALL the Love, kicks and elbows. Cheers to our growing tribe.” Newton has consistently expressed how much his children mean to him.
But fans online couldn’t resist reacting to the latest update.
One wrote, “I hoped he named him Jalen,” while another was stunned and exclaimed, “HE’S 36????”
A third added a fun fact, “Two of those kids are adopted btw,” while others joked about Newton chasing big family records: “He’s coming for Philip Rivers’ record,” one user laughed. Another compared him to the entertainment world’s most famous dad, saying, “Nick Cannon: ‘Those are rookie numbers…’”
As the former NFL star embraces fatherhood again, fans debate, half in jest and half in awe, how far Newton’s family legacy might grow next.
