Terry Crews, a former NFL player, is a proud father of five, which includes four biological children and one adopted child with his wife, Rebecca King-Crews. His children, aged between 19 and their mid-30s, no longer require diaper changes; however, Terry maintains a strong bond with each of them, even if it means balancing family time with his passion for fitness. He humorously shared a strict rule with Yahoo! in November 2022: “Never interrupt my workout unless the house is on fire.” His son Isaiah once tested that rule when he entered during a real fire, leading Terry to reflect on the importance of listening to his children.
Terry also values having healthy boundaries when it comes to his daughters’ dating lives. Initially, he struggled with this concept, admitting on Steve Harvey’s talk show that he once tried to be overly protective, only to realize that it pushed his daughters to meet their boyfriends away from home. He adjusted his approach, understanding that allowing them to make their own choices was essential, even if it meant losing a suitable match he had in mind. This experience taught him about the complexities of parenting and the necessity of respecting his children’s individuality.
Despite any challenges, it’s evident that Terry deeply cherishes his family.
Terry Crews views his children as his true legacy
Throughout his extensive career in Hollywood as an actor and host, Terry Crews insists that his most significant achievements are his children. He stated in a February 2022 interview with Parade, “While I’ve achieved many things, my legacy is my son, my daughters, and my family.” He emphasized the importance of supporting his children in whatever pursuits they choose to follow, further showing he is not the pushy type of parent, unlike many from past generations.
Terry’s approach revolves around empowering his kids to achieve their goals, prioritizing their desires over any parental expectations. He is also committed to his wife and daughters, who each have their own artistic interests, such as photography, acting, and singing, with Azriél Patricia Crews particularly notable for her talents.
