Antonio Cromartie talks vasectomy that didn't work

Former NFL cornerback Antonio Cromartie and his wife Terricka are ready to make it official.

After the pair had six children - daughter Jhett Paxton was born on August 30 - they're going to concentrate on parenting only.

"This is it," Cromartie told For The Win on Tuesday. "We're done."

"We're blessed and thankful for our kids," his wife, Terricka, added. "I don't want to be pregnant anymore. I enjoy being a mother to my kids that are here."

The couple also prepared for their next delivery: The Cromarties, a new reality series premiering Thursday on USA Network which focuses on how the defensive back and his wife - who previously starred on E!'s Candy Girls - handle life as parents to six kids.

But how did the Cromarties get to this point when the NFL vet underwent a vasectomy years ago, a mystery that we asked a pair of urologists to solve?

"It's a blessing from God," Cromartie said. "I'm part of that 1 percent that it happens to. That's just the story of it. We figured everything was a gift from God and we're rolling with it."

"I didn't go to the doctor," he added. "I already knew everything is not guaranteed. It's like any birth control."

Both Cromarties are especially excited about the series revealing just what Antonio is like as a dad, especially after all the attention that's been paid to him fathering a total of 14 children. He's excited to show off "the real me" who goes to parent-teacher conferences and changes diapers.

"He puts as much effort into parenting as he did on the field," Terricka said. "People will get to see him as a father. You'll get to see how hands on and present he is and how the kids love and adore him."

It's actually his experience on the football field that's helped him organize what could be a chaotic situation with six kids, three of whom are under two years old.

"We're organized in what we do, like bedtime to when everyone eats," he said. "My wife says that I do everything like it's a football schedule. We have an itinerary for everything."
