Tyreek Hill has set everyone talking with a funny TikTok clip with his wife, Keeta Vaccaro, that seemed to confirm the arrival of a new addition on the way. The clip, which had captioned audio on it, had the line “POV, us planning to have another baby” and got everyone wondering about Hill’s expanding family.
The NFL football player, who married Vaccaro in November, 2023, had their first child, Capri Hill, in late 2024. At least seven children are confirmed by Hill, although the number has been reported as potentially up to 12. Three children with ex-fiancée Crystal Espinal, one with Kimberly Kaylee Baker, and his latest child, Capri, are his known children. The other children and their mothers, however, are not publicly known.
In the public outcry against his large family, Hill has stayed committed to his role as a parent, frequently sharing photos of his children on social media. While some admire his honesty, others questioned whether he could balance being a parent with the glamorous football life.
On the other side, billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk has long been a vocal supporter of the necessity for population increase. Musk, who has recently welcomed his 14th child, Seldon Lycurgus, with Neuralink executive Shivon Zilis, has consistently stated that low birth rates pose a significant threat to civilization.
Musk has a large family with multiple different relationships. Musk has six kids with his ex-wife, Justine Wilson, including twins Xavier and Griffin and triplets Kai, Saxon, and Damian. Musk had three children with musician Grimes, including the unusually named X Æ A-XII. Musk has four children with Shivon Zilis and has a child with author Ashley St. Clair, with whom he has reportedly had a child.
His large family has been making headlines many times, with some commending his work ethic as a parent and other wondering about the viability of having 14 children in different homes. Musk does not appear to be bothered, repeating his statement that having more children is a responsibility for those who are able to sustain it.
While the two men accepted fatherhood on a grand level, public sentiment towards Hill and Musk differs quite a bit. While Hill, as a professional footballer, has been questioned and criticized, notably on the issue of the challenge posed by having many children in addition to a demanding footballing lifestyle, social media has seen a variety of responses, ranging from friendly jibes to sincere arguments on the issue of personal responsibility.
