Former Carolina Panthers quarterback Cam Newton is back in the headlines this time, not for football, but for family. The 36-year-old NFL legend recently revealed that he and girlfriend Jasmin Brown have welcomed their second child together, marking Newton’s ninth child overall.
“Better father than Tyreek, that’s for sure. Congrats Cam!” wrote one fan on social media, setting the tone for a wave of reactions praising Newton’s family values while aiming for Miami Dolphins star Tyreek Hill, who is currently embroiled in domestic violence allegations.

Fans online quickly drew comparisons between the two NFL stars. While Newton’s growing family became a cause for celebration, Hill’s name surfaced for troubling reasons.TMZreported on October 8, 2025, that Hill’s estranged wife, Keeta Vaccaro, has accused the wide receiver of multiple acts of domestic abuse, including alleged incidents during her pregnancy. Court filings reportedly detail eight separate instances of violence since their marriage in late 2023.
Vaccaro’s attorneys allege one altercation began over a postnuptial agreement and ended with Hill throwing her to the floor. Another alleged incident in January 2024 involved what she described as a “violent attack” that included ripping her hair out and twisting her body parts.
The Miami Dolphins have not yet issued an official statement, and Hill currently faces no criminal charges. In contrast, Newton’s expanding family was met with humor and admiration from fans.
One user joked, “He’s coming for Philip Rivers’ record.”
While another quipped, “Nick Cannon: ‘Those are rookie numbers.’”
Others were stunned by his age “He’s 36??????” and noted that “two of those kids are adopted btw.”
Another fan added , “I hoped he named him Jalen.”
As Hill’s reputation is scrutinized, fans are celebrating Newton’s quieter, family-centered life. Once known for his flamboyant style, Cam Newton is now earning applause for something entirely different: his role as a devoted father.
