Tyreek Hill, the Miami Dolphins wideout, has given a rare glimpse into his personal life, offering insights into his family relationships and the challenges he faces as a father. Previously engaged to Crystal Espinal, with whom he shares three children, Hill is now married to Keeta Vaccaro. However, his personal life has been marked by legal challenges, including two separate paternity suits filed in 2023 by Brittany Lackner and Kimberly Baker, both of whom gave birth earlier that year. The suits, filed in Broward County, Florida, alleged that Hill did not provide sufficient financial support for the children. Both cases sought an increase in the $2,500 in child support that Hill was already providing, with Lackner’s case still open and Baker’s pending, according to county records.
Hill’s personal life further came under scrutiny when another woman claimed to have given birth to his child in 2023, as reported by the DailyMail. In a recent podcast appearance, Hill hinted at the possibility of having even more children than previously known. On the Million Dollaz Worth Of Game podcast, hosted by Gillie Da King and Wallo 267, the former commented, “You play offense, but off the field, you’re the all-time leading tackler. You’ve got 10 kids. You’re just a family man!” Both hosts erupted into laughter as Hill, who had two of his kids playing around him throughout the podcast, lowered his head and joined in the laughter.
Opting not to respond directly to the speculation about the number of children he has, Hill instead addressed the difficulties of being a father. “Yeah man, I grew up in the south, man,” he said. “You see what it is, you see my boys running around here. It don’t matter how many kids I have, a lot of people won’t be able to say, ‘Tyreek don’t take care of his kids though.’ I think that’s the biggest thing.” Hill explained that his children “love coming to the game and stuff like that. Sometimes it can be so hard for me to like mentally lock in because I’ve got daughters too. You know how daughters are. They want to be daddy’s girl, they want to be held and stuff like that. Sometimes it is tough, but at the same time, though, I’ve got to be aware of, ‘I’ve still got a job to do.’ But I’ve got to be a father to my kids in this small moment that I’ve got them here. It’s a lot.”
Hill’s wife, Vaccaro, briefly appeared on the podcast before this exchange. They are not believed to have any children together and reportedly tied the knot at a Texas courthouse in November 2023.
