Get The Details On Cam Newton's Longtime Girlfriend Kia Proctor
But in a report from The Charlotte Observer, people are writing in their disappointment that Newton would have a child without getting married first.
One person wrote, "So the man whom we celebrate, and with good reason, has produced a son. Congratulations would be in order if he had been man enough to marry the mother of his child and make a home. This happy occasion is blighted when Cam, whose own parents were married, skips the very basis of being a good parent."
Another letter says, "Cam is a role model to many of our young males, both white and black. The least that he and his longtime girlfriend could have done is to get married prior to giving birth to show his followers that not only is he a superstar, but also a person with high morals."
After Newton's announcement on Twitter, he posted another tweet with an explanation on why he wanted to keep the news of his child private.
I've been quiet about this because I didn't want to create a distraction for my team and appreciate the privacy in this joyous time. — Cameron Newton (@CameronNewton) December 31, 2015
