Celebs Who Have Way More Kids Than You Knew

Stop, drop, shut 'em down, and open up shop because DMX has a fleet of baby Ruff Ryders to his name. The rapper, whose real name is Earl Simmons, welcomed his 15th child in August 2016. A son named Exodus Simmons, born to girlfriend Desiree Lindstrom, joined DMX's brood from previous relationships.

The rapper has been in some legal hot water as a result of his parenting. He's been taken to court for child support on at least two occasions, and he told Dr. Phil that he views parenting as "not having the children" himself but rather "giving [the women he's with] children."

Before Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt became a paparazzi-frenzied item after sharing the screen in Mr. and Mrs. Smith (2005), Jolie had already adopted her first son, Maddox, from Cambodia in 2001. Originally, she announced the adoption with her then-husband Billy Bob Thornton, but after the two separated, she raised Maddox as a single mom. With Pitt by her side, she adopted daughter Zahara from Ethiopia in 2005. Jolie and Pitt gave birth to their first biological child, Shiloh in Namibia in 2006, adopted 3-year-old Pax from Vietnam in 2007, and then gave birth to twins Knox and Vivienne in 2008.

All six kids now share the surname Jolie-Pitt and are the legal children of both actors, who were married in 2014. However, after "Brangelina" suddenly crumbled in 2016, both parents have fought a very fierce, and very public, custody battle. In happier times, Jolie told Vanity Fair that leading a family of eight unique individuals meant learning to accept. "You don't know who your children are until they show you who they are," she said, "and they are just becoming whoever they want to be."

"No woman, no cry" crooner Bob Marley had a multitude of relationships with women resulting in a multitude of births—at least 11. Marley reportedly fathered five children with wife Alpharita "Rita" Anderson, and six others with other women. He's also suspected to have fathered two additional children, but only 11 have been officially recognized by the late singer's estate.

Marley and Anderson gave birth to daughter Cedella and sons David "Ziggy" and Stephen. Marley also took in Anderson's daughter, Shanon, from a previous relationship, and he claimed to be the father of Anderson's daughter Stephanie, although she may have been born of an extramarital affair. Marley also fathered two more boys—Robert with Pat Williams and Rohan with Janet Hunt—while still married to Anderson. Marley's wife wrote in her biography that she was initially upset by the out-of-wedlock pregnancies, but has since "come to love both of those boys and think of them as [her] sons." Marley also fathered daughter Karen with Janet Bowen; son Julian with Lucy Pounder; son Ky-Mani with table tennis champion Anita Belnavis; and son Damian with 1976 Miss World winner Cindy Breakspeare.

While Caitlyn Jenner is only biologically responsible for some of the stars of the Kardashian reality TV kingdom, she's been actively involved raising all of them. In addition to the quartet of Kardashian kids she helped raise with former wife Kris Jenner (Kourtney, Kim, Khloe, and Rob Kardashian), Caitlyn has two daughters with Kris (Kendall and Kylie Jenner) and four children from two prior marriages (Bruce, Casey, Brandon, and Brody Jenner). That's 10 total kids, which is a fitting number for an Olympic gold medal-winning decathlete. In 2015, she managed to get all of those young'uns under one roof to celebrate Father's Day.

It's a good thing the TV bail bonding business has been so lucrative because reality star Duane "Dog" Chapman has fathered a dozen children with five different women. His eldest son Christopher Michael Hecht was not known to him until later in life, after he had been adopted following his mother's suicide. With first wife La Fonda Sue Honeycutt, Chapman fathered sons Duane and Leland, who regularly appeared on his television show. With second wife Anne M. Tegnell, Dog had three children: Zebediah (who died in infancy), Wesley, and James. His third marriage to Lyssa Rae Brittain brought three more children into the fold: Tucker Dee, Lyssa Rae, and Barbara Katy (who died in 2006, at age 23, in a car accident.) The bounty hunter's fourth marriage with Tawny Marie resulted in no children between them. His fifth wife, show co-star Beth Smith, brought to the family a daughter, Cecily, from a previous marriage. The couple also welcomed a daughter, Bonnie Joanne, and a son, Garry.

When scouting out the next generation of contenders for the heavyweight championship belt, Mike Tyson's long line of heirs should not be overlooked. The retired prizefighter has had eight children. While his first marriage to actress Robin Givens resulted in no children, his second marriage to Monica Turner produced son Amir and daughter Rayna. He also had son Miguel and daughter Exodus with a woman in Arizona (Exodus tragically died of accidental strangulation at age four), and he has fathered children named Gena and Mikey with unspecified partners. Tyson also has two more children named Morocco and Milan with current wife Lakiha Spencer. Althoug Tyson originally claimed paternity of D'Amato Kilrain with Natalie Fears, blood tests later confirmed he was not the child's father, and he has since failed to acknowledge the boy as one of his kids when speaking about his brood.
