Antonio Brown welcomes his 7th child while filing for bankruptcy—Is he living in a fantasy world?

Antonio Brown is a father again! Brown, the king of social media drama who raised several eyebrows with this surprise announcement, is known for his blunt jabs at everyone from public figures to sports stars. AB has indeed caused a stir several times.

It was quite an unexpected post from Brown back in January. He shared a screenshot from a video call showing a woman holding a pregnancy test, captioned: “This girl wants me in her uterus. F**k It I’m rich. Let’s do it.” A few months later, reality hit — Brown filed for bankruptcy. But while his financial situation might have changed, his commitment to fatherhood apparently hasn’t. 

On July 21, the internet buzzed with the news that Antonio Brown welcomed his seventh child. NFL insider Dov Kleiman shared the news with a photo of Brown and the newborn and a congratulatory note. Brown already has a large family of six kids: four sons and two daughters. Three sons and one daughter are with Chelsie Kyriss (Apollo, Ali, and Autonomy Brown). He also has a son, Antonio Brown Jr., with ex-girlfriend Shameika Brailsford and another daughter with a former partner, Wiltrice Jackson.

However, things got complicated with Jackson last year when AB failed to provide child support for her. 

So, now, the internet seems divided. While some offer congratulations, others express concern for the “poor baby” entering this situation. Will Brown navigate the fatherhood of seven while dealing with his financial woes?

Antonio Brown welcomes baby amidst financial drama

What’s your perspective on:

Antonio Brown welcomes his 7th child while filing for bankruptcy—Is he living in a fantasy world?

Have an interesting take?

Antonio Brown, the former NFL star who made headlines for his shirtless exit from the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, raked in a lot of cash during his 11-year career. We’re talking over $80 million!

But things haven’t been all smooth sailing financially. Lawsuits are piling up, with Brown reportedly owing close to $8 million to various creditors. The biggest chunk, $1.2 million, goes to a Florida truck driver who sued AB for assault and battery back in 2020. Brown skipped the court date, so the judge ruled in the driver’s favor. Then came the shocker: Brown filed for bankruptcy in May, claiming to have only $50,000 or less in assets. But hold on a second! Brown also invested heavily after leaving football, suggesting this bankruptcy might be a strategic move to avoid some creditors.

He even bragged on a podcast, saying, “For me, while I’m not playing to be able to make the big cheques, I want to make my millions work for me.”  Apparently, he partnered with Bloomin Estates and Bloomin Productions to generate passive income, meaning he doesn’t need to chase money actively anymore. So, is Brown actually broke? The jury’s still out!

While the financial situation remains unclear, hopefully, Brown can provide the love and support this new child deserves.
