Antonio Cromartie might be the most famous person on this list when it comes to having too many kids. The cornerback has 12 children with eight women in six different states. His shining moment as a father occurred on HBO’s Hard Knocks when he struggled to give the names of his eight kids. Cromartie claims the screwup was staged, but video of the episode tells a different story. Either way, fathering 12 kids with eight women is ridiculous.
