Adrian Peterson Baby Mama: He’s Fathered Seven Kids!

Adrian Peterson’s baby count continues to rise - publicly at least - after another woman came forward to say she has a son with the NFL star. - See more at: Erica Syion, a former dancer who used to work at a gentlemen’s club in Dallas, Tex., says she and the athlete have a four-year-old son together.

They met in Houston back in 2007, but their relationship has deteriorated in the past couple of years. The football star is involved in the child’s life.

The two have a financial arrangement, in which Adrian Peterson gives Erica money to pay for the child’s schooling, as well as living expenses.

In total, she says that Adrian has fathered (at least) seven children.

Earlier, it was reported that the 28-year-old NFL MVP had five kids by various women, but Syion tells TMZ that he has fathered at least seven now.

All this came to light after Adrian Peterson’s son died last week in South Dakota, following an alleged beating by the boyfriend of the boy’s mother.

Peterson had never met the boy until he was hospitalized from his injuries, though he did acknowledge paternity after the mother recently informed him.

The man who raised the deceased boy, and whose last name he carries, said he was sick of all the "poor AP" s--t following the tragedy last week.

Perhaps now we have a better idea what Bobby Ruffin meant by that.

As for how good of a dad he is? Erica says he dutifully pays his child support, but could definitely stand to spend more quality time with his children.

With six kids spread out in various places, how much does he have?!
