Like, 'you need to be here, you gotta be here, you gotta do this a certain way.' So, I would probably say hands-on from a standpoint of just always wanting to know what's going on with homework and everything. And I'm strict, I am. I have a very militant, military background.

Antonio became a more involved dad after retiring from the NFL in 2018. He gave the public a peek into the large Cromartie family on the 2017 USA Network docuseries The Cromarties. His wife, Terricka, whom he married in November 2008, said that they did the series to show that Antonio was more than what the media portrayed him.

Everybody knows Antonio has kids, and it's always been in the public eye. But this is how we see us as opposed to what's been said. He does have kids. That's the truth. But nobody knows what type of father he is, so this is an opportunity to share it with the world.

Inside Antonio Cromartie's six-figure child support

By 2016, the retired NFL athlete was reportedly paying approximately $336,000 per year in child support for eight of his children with seven of his baby mammas. Each child was getting around $3,500 per month, but some of the kids' mothers were demanding higher payments.

Antonio went to court in 2017 seeking a reduction in child support, saying family and personal expenses were leaving him with a monthly debt of over $25,000 because he was not earning his peak NFL income. Cromartie's net worth in 2025 is estimated to be $10 million.
