Cam Newton Tries to Explain Why He Never Married His Baby Momma

Cam Newton never got down on one knee outside of the football field.

The current NFL Free agent had several children with his then girlfriend Kia Proctor. He never ended up marrying her, and now the two are no longer together.

In the latest episode of his “Funky Friday” YouTube series, Cam explained why he never married the mother to four of his kids. According to Cam, there’s just way too much temptation to settle down with one woman.

Via NY Post:

“That’s a great question… The thing is that person that I was while we were having children together, I couldn’t be the best husband. I wasn’t prepared to be a husband then,” Newton told Brittany Renner, an Instagram fitness model, and influencer, who pressed him about not giving Proctor a ring.

“I was on temptation island. A football player, young, ‘no’ is not even in my vocabulary,” said Newton, the first overall pick in the 2011 NFL Draft, and 2015 NFL MVP.

“I just found myself in this downward spiral. Did she deserve better? I would humbly say, yes, she did… I was falling deeper into my own selfishness and realizing I gotta be better.”

Cam explained that Kia Proctor had “patience” through their ups and downs through the years.

“And she was around me through a lot of success, a lot of downfalls and I respect her for that to this day, but it never led to the ultimate commitment, and that is a ring… We just grew apart and we have a great working relationship now and where we have beautiful children and we’re seeing them grow day in and day out,” Newton said.

Cam and Kia have four children together, Sebastian Newton, Sovereign-Dior Cambella, Camidas Swain Newton, and Cashmere Saint Newton.
