FOOTBALL player, Chad Johnson, is a former NFL wide receiver known for his time on the field in the early 2000s.
After retiring, the 45-year-old athlete is often seen spending time with his large family.
Chad Johnson has eight children whom he shares with a number of different women.
Some of his kids have followed in his footsteps and are athletes just like their father.
Chad Johnson II is currently a wide receiver at Arizona State University, known for his skills on the field.
One of Johnson's daughters even set a new United States record in the 800-meter run among young girls at the AAU Track and Field National Club Championships.
In January 2022, he welcomed his latest child, Serenity 'Hurricane' Paula Johnson, with his fiancée, Selling Tampa's Sharelle Rosado.
Johnson is not shy about posting pictures with his children on social media and in 2016, he told Graham Bensinger that "being a dad is really dope."
He also explained that the "traditional way" of parenting "sucks" and that he feels it is actually "extremely easy" to be present in his children's lives despite the fact that he has multiple baby mamas.
Johnson has children with numerous different women.
One of these women is Alexis Farquharson, with whom he had an affair with that yielded one daughter.
Prior to his relationship with Alexis, Johnson welcomed another daughter with Crystal Bates in 2015.
When asked if co-parenting was stressful in an interview with Madamenoire, he said no because he chose those specific women for a purpose — which they were aware of beforehand.
Johnson is currently engaged to Rosado, a real estate broker, and United States Army veteran.
Rosado has four children in total, three of which come from a prior relationship.
Johnson was originally drafted by the Cincinnati Bengals in the second round of the 2001 NFL Draft. He played for the Bengals for 10 seasons.
In 2011, Johnson was traded to the New England Patriots, for whom he played in Super Bowl XLVI.
In June 2012, Johnson signed with the Miami Dolphins. However, his time with the Dolphins was cut short due to some infusion of scandal and controversy.
A few years later, in June 2021, Johnson made his boxing debut fighting against Brian Maxwell.
Since his debut, he has continued boxing and has appeared on some real estate reality shows, such as Selling Tampa.
Most recently, Johnson was selected as a nominee for the NFL’s Hall of Fame in 2022.
On January 31, 2023, he revealed that he saved his NFL money by not spending on luxuries like private planes.
“Fly private? I ain’t flying private,” he said on Shannon Sharpe’s “Club Shay Shay” podcast. “Put me on Spirit. Exit row. Window seat. That’s all I need,” Johnson explained. “As long as I get from point A to point B. I don’t need private.”
