When it comes to raising a family, Kevin Hart picked up a lot from his own parents. As he told Howard Stern in 2016, “I’m such a great father, because I don’t want to make the same mistakes that my dad made. … The reason why I am the way I am is because my mom was strong.” Hart also attributes his success to his children, whom he says he does everything for. And with four children as motivation, no wonder he’s such a powerful force.
That said, raising a family in the spotlight comes with a unique set of challenges. When his 2017 cheating scandal came to light and was splashed across headlines, for example, he knew he’d have to have a difficult sit-down with the children. But as he’s learned, healthy communication is key. He said in Romper, “It’s about listening, understanding and then doing your best to give information so that your kids can make the best choices for them. Not for you, but for them.”
Clearly, being a good dad is something Hart takes seriously. While chatting with Entertainment Weekly about the 2021 Netflix flick “Fatherhood,” he opened up about, well, fatherhood. He told the outlet, “As a man that prides himself on being an amazing father, being there for my kids, I would love for there to be examples of other men that do that on-screen.”
