‘I’ve got 8 kids from 6 different mothers,’ reveals Gayton McKenzie

An interview of the newly appointed Minister of Sports, Arts and Culture Gayton McKenzie with Leann Manas on the Morning Live studios made its way to the internet, leaving many users shocked at the minister’s declaration of fathering eight children.

Gayton is currently the most interactive minister on social media, as he plans to run his ministry in full view of the citizens with transparency. It is no shock that some of his old videos would pop up on social media, as there are a lot of conversations around his name.

During a chat with the veteran TV presenter, Leanne asked for confirmation on the number of kids he has with Gayton responding, “I’ve got eight kids, from six different women… That’s during my very very naughty days.”

Leanne then confirmed if the kids indeed ranged from one to six (years), with Gayton agreeing, before adding “But their surnames are all McKenzie, I look after all my kids.”

Out of the eight kids the Patriotic Alliance leader has, three of them are girls. Leanne further asked if he was aware that he was in trouble as a girl dad, prompting Gayton to respond, “That’s the reason I’m trying to write a book, to tell my daughters and other people’s daughters that you get three types of players.”

He went on to add, “You get the chappies league, this guy is with one or two girls. He’s a little scared but he’s busy playing … The second one is a semi-professional, those are the guys with the BMW’s the Golf’s, the ones who juggle five women. Then you get the galactico, the player with exceptional skills, this is the thing we fall under.”
