Someone is coming to Nick Cannon's baby-making title — and it's former NFL quarterback Cam Newton.
The athlete announced on his podcast that he is officially a dad to 9, just shy of Nick's 12.
"Oh, he’s already here," Cam told Tamron Hall when she asked about baby No. 9. So, who are Cam's kids and the baby mothers in his life? Keep reading to find out.
Cam Newton welcomed his ninth child with girlfriend Jasmin Brown.
In May 2025, Cam's girlfriend, Jasmine Brown, shared with her followers that she was expecting a baby with Cam.
"Feeling ALL the Love, kicks and elbows cheers to our growing tribe," she captioned a photo of her growing belly. And just five months later, their second child together was born.

They are also parents to a baby girl born in March 2024; however, to protect their identity, they have yet to share the names of their children.
Cam and Jasmine have been dating since 2021.
Cam shares five kids with his ex-girlfriend Kia Proctor.
Along with his two kids with Jasmine, Cam is also the proud dad to four kids with his ex-girlfriend, Kia Proctor.
Cam became a father in 2015 when Kia welcomed their son Chosen Sebastian. In 2017, his daughter Sovereign-Dior Cambella was born, followed by another boy named Camidas Swain. In September 2019, the couple's fourth child, Cashmere Saint, was born.
Cam also raises Kia's daughter, Shakira, from a previous relationship.

Sadly, the couple split in 2020, after eight years together.
"The relationship, I thought it was headed towards marriage, and then my partner at the time had an outside baby," Kia shared on her YouTube channel about Cam's infidelity. "He kinda wanted to force it on me, and I wasn’t really ready to…I mean, I don’t really know how to describe this or talk about this. He had a baby outside of our relationship that I was not OK with."
Cam also has two kids with photographer LaReina Shaw.
While Kia was pregnant with baby No. 4, Cam revealed he got another woman pregnant. That woman was photographer LaReina Shaw. She welcomed a baby boy named Caesar Lorenzo in July 2019.
LaReina is also a mom to an older son named Jaden from a previous relationship, whom Cam also considers part of his family
“I proudly say I have eight children. Six biologically through me," Cam said before the birth of his ninth child. "And I don’t believe in stepchildren […] What my biological kids get, everybody gets. I don’t have no favorites. I’m raising kings and queens."
Why does Cam Newton have any kids – and does he want more?
While appearing on Season 4 of Special Forces, Cam reveals he is struggling when it comes to father and having so many kids post his NFL career.
"I'm going into a different phase of my life that's going to require a different form of myself," he 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."

He continued, "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."
However, he has no regrets about his big, blended family. In fact, in an interview on Club Shay Shay, Cam revealed he was ready for more.
"I don’t know, wherever much that God gives me," he told Shannon Sharpe. "But jokingly, and not jokingly, they really give me my purpose and there’s so many different things that I look at to say, they’re my refuge. They’re my peace. They’re my encouragement."
