Cam Newton doesn’t feel like “Superman” to his eight kids because he doesn’t make as much money.

On the latest of FOX’s Special Forces, Newton explained his new reality.

“I’m going into a different phase of my life that’s going to require a different form of myself,” Newton said. “Being in the NFL, everyone knows there’s a large sum of money that comes to you in a short span of time, and being away from the game for three years, those checks don’t come in the same. Like I got eight kids.”

“It hurts me knowing that I can’t provide like I once did. It hurts thinking that I’m Superman, but in reality, I’m just a man,” he continued.

He admitted that he is uncertain as he transitions into his post-playing career.

“There’s a famous quote that says in order to get something that you’ve never had, you go to do something that you’ve never done. At 35, I can literally say, ‘Okay now I’m getting prepared for this next chapter of my life.”

During his playing days with the Carolina Panthers in 2015, he signed the largest NFL contract at the time. It was the five-year, $103.8 million contract extension and $41 million was guaranteed. In total, Newton made $134,735,498 in his career.

According to PEOPLE, Newton is the father of eight kids. The former NFL MVP has four children, sons Chosen Sebastian, Camidas Swain, and Cashmere Saint, and daughter Sovereign-Dior Cambella with his ex-girlfriend, Kia Proctor. He also helps raise Proctor’s older daughter, Shakira. He shares two children with photographer LaReina Shaw their son, Caesar, and Shaw’s older son, Jaden, from a previous relationship.

In March 2024, Newton and his girlfriend comedian Jasmin Brown, welcomed their first child together, a girl.

The couple have not revealed the child’s name.
