Antonio Brown is back in the headlines after being taken into custody on attempted murder charges. Antonio's arrest is linked to a shooting outside a Miami boxing event in May organized by Adin Ross.

Brown is a father to seven children from four different relationships. His longest relationship was with Chelsie Kyriss, with whom he shares four children named Ali, Apollo, Autonomy, and Allure.

The couple reportedly started dating in 2012, and Brown proposed to her after eight years of an on-and-off relationship. However, the couple never tied the knot. While the two have faced a rocky relationship, Kyriss was recently seen celebrating Brown's birthday with his children in a post uploaded by Brown on X.


Inside Antonio Brown and Chelsie Kyriss' relationship

In 2017, Kyriss filed a paternity case against Brown in a Broward County court. A year later, Brown filed a court order to have her removed from his home, claiming their relationship had ended and she was causing trouble, with one incident citing her locking herself in a room with their baby, according to USA Today.

A statement from the court filing, as reported by the outlet at that time, read:

"Such an occurrence would be fatal to the father’s career, which is the sole source of income that provides support to meet the children’s needs"

In 2020, Chelsie released a statement on Instagram talking about Brown's mental state. She also mentioned her kids in the post, writing:

"Over the last few years I have stood at the side of my children's father Antonio Brown and watched the rise and fall of an incredible man and athlete. Our children and I have distanced ourselves from him and our former home. Although we have parted ways I wish nothing but the best for him. Unfortunately, it seems Antonio has made questionable choices and continues to ignore the advice of those who love and support him."

She added:

"My hope is that Anotonio will get help and seek the mental health treatment that he so desperately needs so that he can be the father all of his children need and deserve."

The two later reconciled, with Antonio Brown telling 99 Jamz radio station:

"I had to realize, take a step back and realize how important family is and realize how much I done put my girl through and how much she done supported me in the midst of it"

He further added:

"It made me realize I haven't always done the right thing. Knowing I still have my girl still there, it just provided me that clarity"

Last year, Antonio Brown welcomed his seventh child, Ace, with Cydney Moreau. Their recent photo, uploaded a few months ago, has once again led to speculation about whether the two have reconciled and are back together.
