Kendrick Sampson is sharing a candid take on fatherhood that is sure to stir chatter.

During an appearance on ‘LOVERS by Shan,’ the ‘Insecure’ actor explained that while he does see children in his future, he does not necessarily envision building that family inside a romantic relationship.

Speaking candidly, Sampson unpacked why a friendship-first family structure feels more aligned with the way he views love, care, and accountability.

He said:

“I definitely want children, but I want children with my homegirls.”

Delving deeper, the star suggested that removing romance from the equation could, in his view, make the focus clearer when raising a child.

“It ain’t complicated by what I’m feeling, what mood I’m in, or how you betrayed me.”

Sampson framed the comments within a broader conversation about “loving wide,” with the actor challenging the idea that romantic partnership has to sit at the center of one’s life plan.
