George Foreman has 12 kids including 5 sons all named George Edward Foreman

George Foreman has many titles — Olympic gold medalist, two-time heavyweight boxing champion, and grill entrepreneur, among them.
But the title he holds closest to his heart is father.
The athlete, 70, has been married a total of five times, to Adrienne Calhoun (from 1971 to 1974); Cynthia Lewis (from 1977 to 1979); Sharon Goodson (from 1981 to 1982); Andrea Skeete (from 1982 to 1985) and to Mary Joan Martelly, his wife since 1985.
Through his relationships he has five sons and five daughters.
“I named all my sons George Edward Foreman so they would always have something in common,” Foreman wrote on his website. “I say to them, ‘If one of us goes up, then we all go up together. And if one goes down, we all go down together!’ “
He also joked to CBN.com http://CBN.com , “I tell people, ‘If you’re going to get hit as many times as I’ve been hit by Mohammad Ali, Joe Frazier, Ken Norton, Evander Holyfield, you’re not going to remember many names.’ “
Of course, calling everyone “George” can be a little confusing, so Foreman’s sons have all earned nicknames for themselves. There’s George Jr., George III (“Monk”), George IV (“Big Wheel”), George V (“Red”), and George VI (“Little Joey”).
Most have stayed away from the spotlight, though George III followed in his father’s footsteps with a professional boxing career. Competing between 2009 and 2012, George III earned a 16-0 record with 15 knockout victories (and one win being ending in a unanimous decision).
Meanwhile, in addition to his boys, Foreman has five daughters: Natalia, Leola, Michi, Georgetta, and Freeda
