Herschel Walker said he has never denied the existence of his four children, three of whom he has never publicly discussed.
According to the Associated Press, Walker said at the Faith and Freedom Coalition conference that his children know the truth.
They were aware of the truth. Walker said that he loves his children more than he loves anything. The fact that they didn't do anything made me want to fight harder. People are misleading my family.
The Daily Beast reported that Walker had a 10-year-old son he fathered out of wedlock, after previously saying he was the father of an only child. He also has a 13-year-old son and a 20-year-old daughter with two other women.
Walker presented himself as a community oriented family man. Walker said that the fatherless home is a problem in the Black community. He said that he was like a father to the people in his community.
Walker took care of many people in his hometown. I had been like a father to some of them.
Walker said that if a man has a child with a woman, you don't leave the child.
Insider previously reported that Walker was asked to pay financial support for his child after he was accused of being a father. Walker and the mother of his child separated eight months before the child's birth, according to the petition.
Scott Paradise told The Daily Beast that Walker supports the child and continues to do so. He is proud of his kids. The child has not had contact with his half-brother, Christian, despite Walker sending holiday and birthday gifts to him.

Walker's son Christian has made similar complaints about fatherless households on his social media.
"Fathers, it would be great if you stayed home and raised your kids, instead of running off to kill a bunch of women who weren't your baby mamas." You should stay home and raise your children. A father is needed for your children. Get back to your hometown. A person said in a TikTok.
