Cam Newton discussed his feelings on marriage during a conversation with Dr. Cheyenne Bryant on his Funky Friday podcast which has been going viral on social media. In doing so, he revealed that he has eight children with three different women, but isn't opposed to having more. “A lot of people see my situation and think that I’m not high functioning,” he told Bryant. From there, he explained his “desire to get married" is lower than his "fear of divorce,” which is causing him to take his time.
In response, Bryant disagreed, accusing him of actually being “very selectively active.” She argued: “You’re not taking your time, you’re being very action based. You’re not taking your time. You have eight kids with three different women. You are creating, procreating, and multiplying. That is not taking your time, you’re being very selectively active. You are proactively choosing where you want to be active at and where you want to take your time. You want to take your time in having a wife because of your own fears but you will…and I say this with all respect and love…you will selfishly create broken families.”

“Every child cannot have papa in the house with them," Bryant continued. "Some child, if not all, will end up with some kind of deficit without daddy being there. Those are selfish acts at the expense of your fear. At what point do you feel the fear and do it anyway? That is a low functioning behavior to say ‘I’m going to build these houses and put kids and these beautiful women in them but I’m not going to create a home for them’.”
