Nayvadius DeMun Cash, known professionally as Future, is not only a trailblazer in the world of hip-hop but also a father with a story as compelling as his music. With a career that spans over a decade, Future has left an indelible mark on the rap genre, known for his unique sound and influential style. However, beyond the glitz of fame and the glamour of his profession, Future's role as a parent often piques the curiosity of fans and followers alike.
But, how many kids does Future have? Below, we take a look at the musician's children.
How many kids does Future have?
In total, Future has eight confirmed children. The eldest of Future's children is Jakobi Wilburn, born on June 30, 2002, to Jessica Smith. Shortly after Jakobi was born, Future and Jessica Smith parted ways, leading to some contention over the years concerning child support and Future's involvement in his son's upbringing.
This dispute came to a head in 2016 when Jessica Smith filed a lawsuit against Future, alleging child support negligence and accusing him of failing to be present in Jakobi's life, per Hot New HipHop. Despite these challenges, Jakobi has carved out his own path in the music industry under the moniker King Kobi. Since 2020, he has dropped a number of singles and projects, including tracks like NORP SEASON and Kobi$torm.
Future welcomed his daughter, Londyn Wilburn, with India J on March 9, 2009. This was followed by the addition of Prince Wilburn to the family on Oct. 6, 2013, as a result of Future's relationship with Brittni Mealy, making Prince the third eldest of the rapper's eight children. The birth of Future Zahir Wilburn came next on May 19, 2014, during Future's engagement to musician Ciara.
Kash Wilburn's existence came as a surprise to many fans when Future revealed him in 2020; Kash was born in 2015, though the precise date remains unspecified. Hendrix Wilburn, born to Future and internet sensation Joie Chavis, arrived on Dec. 14, 2018.
Paris Wilburn is another child whose existence Future revealed, born sometime in 2019, but the exact birthdate is not known. Reign Wilburn, born on April 19, 2019, to Future and Eliza Seraphim, is the youngest of the rapper's children.
While Future has eight confirmed children, one child is speculated to be Future's ninth kid. Jaiden Wilburn is recognized as the biological son of India J., one of Future's former partners. According to Yahoo News!, during the time India J. and Future were in a relationship, from July 2007 until November 2012, Future chose to take on a paternal role for her son from another relationship. While this act of adoption hasn't been formally legalized, Future has continued to play a significant role in Jaiden's life following his split from India J.
