Cam Newton’s longtime ex-girlfriend Kia Proctor opened up about her co-parenting relationship with the NFL player. The mother of five recently shared her experiences in a YouTube video titled “Truth.”
The former couple met in 2012 when Proctor was a single mother to her eldest daughter, Shakira. She eventually moved to Atlanta to live with the podcaster. While Proctor hoped they would eventually get married, the two split because Newton impregnated another woman during their relationship.
The article continues after the video.
“He had a baby outside of our relationship that I didn’t agree with, and we weren’t married,” she said in the YouTube video. “So I was like, ‘I’m not going to deal with this,’ because I thought what we had was something much more special than the way you treat it. And I felt like I had no choice but to leave. I had to choose myself and my kids and not what he was going to do to me.”
When Proctor left, she already had four children with the former NFL player, and she had her children for several years in a row.
“So I was pregnant every year for four years. I wore Chosen, Sovereign Dior, Camidas and then Cashmere. Looking back, I say, ‘I don’t know how I did it, but hey, I love all my kids, and yes, I definitely did it,'” she explained.
Still, Proctor explained that she and Cam have a “great co-parenting schedule.”
“So, here we are. I think the kids are great. They feel like they’re in a great environment. I try… I mean, I don’t know, I just try to make sure they’re not lacking anything and that they’re doing well mentally. And we have a great co-parenting schedule, we’re doing well with co-parenting. I think we’re doing the best we can and it’s working out,” she said.
She also added that they have one week on and one week off, which gives her some breathing room.
“We switch every Sunday. It’s like I have this free week to focus on what Kia wants to do and create all these things for Kia.”
The podcaster has admitted in the past that his former girlfriend deserved better for the way he treated her during their relationship. He admitted that he wasn’t ready to be a husband at the time. Based on his recent conversation with Cheyenne Bryant, PsyD, about creating broken families and commitment on his podcast Funky Fridaythat hasn’t changed.
Newton is currently in a relationship with comedian Jasmin Brown and the couple recently had their first child together.
