5. Travis Henry – 11 Children With 10 Women Former running back Travis Henry crosses over into double digits territory, with a shocking 11 children with 10 different women. Henry played seven seasons in the NFL with the Buffalo Bills, Tennessee Titans and Denver Broncos, but even an NFL player’s wage will not be able to keep up with the child support payments he has to make for his small army. This has been an on going issue for Henry, who was arrested in Florida in 2009 after failing to pay $16,600 in child support. He has also been involved in drug trafficking, seeing him sentenced to three years in federal prison in 2009 for financing a cocaine trafficking operation. Henry’s lawyer has estimated that he has to pay at least $170,001 annually in child support, a great advert for practicing safe sex.
6. Jason Caffey – 10 Children With 8 Women Former NBA player Jason Caffey has so many children that they could all play a full-court game of basketball against each other. Caffey was selected by the Chicago Bulls with the 20th pick in the 1995 draft, which made him fortunate enough to play alongside Michael Jordan. Caffey won two rings with the Bulls in 1996 and 1997, before going on to play with the Golden State Warriors and Milwaukee Bucks. Over his career, Caffey fathered more children than his points per game average (7.3), which has, unsurprisingly, generated plenty of child support problems. In 2009, a judge ordered for his arrest after he was accused of failing to pay over $200,000 in child support to just one of the eight women, plus legal fees to her lawyer. Caffey must have been on top of the world after being drafted by the Bulls, but things would soon take a turn for the worse.
1. Calvin Murphy – 14 Children With 9 Women Most people consider three or four children to be a lot, but former Rockets player Calvin Murphy has a jaw-dropping 14 kids and by nine different women. That must be one interesting family tree to draw up, but the Hall of Famer has a somewhat tarnished reputation due to allegations made in 2004. Murphy was accused of sexually abusing five of his daughters, all of whom were born outside of his marriage. The two daughters born in wedlock came to his defense, and he was eventually acquitted of these charges after there was no physical evidence. Despite being acquitted, Murphy’s reputation was damaged, and many already disapproved of his actions in terms of being unfaithful to his wife and knocking up women all over the country. Although he is a Hall of Famer and had an impressive career in the NBA, Murphy is now best known for his fertility.
2. Antonio Cromartie – 12 Children With 8 Women New York Jets cornerback Antonio Cromartie has a whopping 12 children with eight different women, and at 31 years old he may just well add to this tally if someone doesn’t teach him how to practice safe sex soon. He has been married to Terricka Cason from Candy Girls since 2010, with four of his 12 kids coming from this relationship. In 2010, Cromartie’s outstanding child support payments were taken care of by the Jets—something that a lot of these athletes would be more than jealous of. Kellen Winslow and Antonio Cromartie recently had a feud on Twitter, with Winslow retaliating by claiming that Cromartie should “learn your kids’ names.” In a 2010 edition of Hard Knocks, Cromartie is asked to name all of his children (which he struggles to do). He also reportedly had a vasectomy in 2011, but the twins that arrived in 2014 suggest otherwise.
