Fame is surrounded by an intensely scrutinized society and thus raises a lot of questions when one is trying to keep a squeaky clean image. However, that didn’t happen in case of the N.B.A.’s second-leading scorer of all-time, Karl Malone.

Malone’s questionable fatherhood brought him truckloads of criticisms and which almost did not affect him. Aforementioned, Malone fathered seven children from his relationships, including his wife and affairs. He and his former girlfriend, Bonita Ford, welcomed their twins a few weeks after Malone graduated high school.

The former couple named their twins, Cheryl and Daryl, who would go on to become one of the most influential athletes. Regrettably, both the children inherited their father’s athletic abilities but were deprived of his presence until they were 17.

Malone was ruled to be the twin’s father when he violated a court by refusing to reveal his assets or submit to a D.N.A. test. However, Malone accepted his paternity of the Ford twins and publicly announced them as the Malone family.

Although Malone was absent during most of Cheryl and Daryl’s childhood, he finally showed up during their teen and maintained a relationship with them.
