Terence Crawford Recalls Telling Longtime Girlfriend He Got Another Woman Pregnant
Terence Crawford is a superstar boxer with a perfect record, but he isn’t devoid of mistakes elsewhere in life. A clip recently resurfaced where the 37-year-old athlete recalls telling his longtime girlfriend, with whom he shares six children, about him having a baby on the way with another woman.
“You said something interesting, you said the last one is not by her,” Shannon Sharpe said during their April interview on Club Shay Shay. “Right. Last one not by her,” Crawford replied. “Things happen,” he said when the NFL Hall of Famer asked how he could say that with such a blank expression. “You know, different circumstances.”
Sharpe asked him to walk him through the process of telling his high school sweetheart, Alindra Person, about his forthcoming baby. “‘Ni**a got one on the way,’” he said. The sports analyst was dumbfounded at how blunt he was, and Crawford said, “Sh*t, you can’t lie. How you gonna lie? You better tell her now or it’s going to be worse when they baby come.”

Crawford continued recalling the experience to Sharpe, boiling it all down to “I’m just a man.” Naturally, Sharpe asked for his girlfriend’s reply, specifically if she yelled, screamed, or attacked him. Crawford made multiple gestures signifying that he didn’t want to say what happened, but something did indeed happen. Watch the full interview above.
Crawford is set to face Canelo Alvarez on Sept. 13 in Las Vegas. The fight will be live-streamed on Netflix, following Mike Tyson and Jake Paul, who headlined the inaugural live boxing card on the platform. Tyson and Paul drew 108 million viewers in a fight that the legendary boxer lost. Crawford is 41-0 in his boxing career and has held world championships in four different divisions. He is the first male boxer to become an undisputed champion in two different divisions within the “four belt era.”
