Terrell Owens is father to sons Terique Owens, born September 25, 1999, and Atlin Owens, who as a toddler modeled for Famous Stars and Straps (FSAS) Spring ‘09 clothing line. Owens also has two daughters, Kylee and Dasha. In September 2011, Owens was sued by Melanie Paige Smith, the mother of his daughter, for failure to pay child support, but the case was settled prior to trial.
On a May 8, 2012 episode of Dr. Phil, three of the four mothers to his children accused Owens of either coming up short in his monthly child-support payments or not paying at all. Owens said he was paying some $45,000 per month in child support at one time.

Famous quotes containing the word family:
“In the years of the Roman Republic, before the Christian era, Roman education was meant to produce those character traits that would make the ideal family man. Children were taught primarily to be good to their families. To revere gods, one’s parents, and the laws of the state were the primary lessons for Roman boys. Cicero described the goal of their child rearing as “self- control, combined with dutiful affection to parents, and kindliness to kindred.””
—C. John Sommerville (20th century)
“True spoiling is nothing to do with what a child owns or with amount of attention he gets. he can have the major part of your income, living space and attention and not be spoiled, or he can have very little and be spoiled. It is not what he gets that is at issue. It is how and why he gets it. Spoiling is to do with the family balance of power.”
—Penelope Leach (20th century)
“A family in harmony will prosper in everything.”
—Chinese proverb.
