"She wasn't an acrobat": When 5x NBA Champion Dennis Rodman went into explicit details about his s*x life with the 'Queen of Pop'

Dennis Rodman has once admitted that he was ‘f**king selfish’ when it came to taking care of his 3 children. Given his lifestyle, everything from the constant partying to the women who he was around on a near night-to-night basis led to him not being able to carve out time for his kids. 

At least Rodman, unlike many other parents around the world, can admit that he does not give as much attention to them as he should, and isn’t living in a world of denial about that fact. His third marriage, which was to Michelle Moyer, led to him getting taken to court by her so as to have him pay both spousal and child support which came up to a total of $850,000. 

Rodman’s lawyer would go on to reveal that he simply did not have enough money in his bank account at the time in 2012 to fund such a large amount. Dennis would blame his poor financial planning for this to be the case.

Dennis Rodman revealed he believed his kids just wanted him for money at times

Dennis Rodman earned close to $30 million from his NBA contracts over a 14 year career. He would also earn a lot more with a variety of endorsement deals. However, as of 2022, it has been reported that he has a net worth of just $500,000. 

Despite this, Dennis revealed while on the ‘No Jumper’ podcast that he believes his children, at times, stay in touch with him solely because they want him for his money.

In all fairness to his children, if their father was never all too present during their childhood and were forced to be raised by a single parent, then the least the 5x NBA champion can do is provide them with some of his wealth. 

Dennis has since let it be known that he is trying his best to be a part of his kids’ lives as of recent. 

Dennis Rodman has 3 children 

Dennis Rodman was married thrice and 3 children with 2 of those women. Alexis Rodman was his first child who he fathered with Annie Bakes, his first wife. He never had a child with Carmen Electra and instead had two children, Trinity and DJ, with his 3rd wife, Michelle Moyer. 

Trinity is actually a soccer player for the NWSL and currently plays for the Washington Spirit. DJ is an athlete as well as he plays for the Washington State Cougars in the Pac-12 conference. Alexis on the other hand, has not delved into the sporting realm and very little is known about her.
