Wow I would have never guessed that those babies had a black father. They look more hispanic. Precious though.
their mother is hispanic
cue all the “they don’t look black” comments
I definitely agree - they look 100% hispanic! But cute kids, though.
The little boy looks just like his dad!
even though their features don’t allude to the lineage of their father (i’ll put it that way lol!), the son definitely looks like his dad Rodney by the face. can’t really tell who their daughter looks like.
beautiful family
Oooh, they are sooo cute. I love the first picture especially.
What a beautiful family. =)
you can see LittLe man Looks Like his dad. im not sure who baby girL Looks Like..but she sure does Look fuLLy Hispanic! lol..
-but hey genTics are trueLy Amazing because my younger cousin was the same waay as a baby. straight straight hair, and a lil more color than this baby. Now she has reaLLy curLy hair, and lots of color. she almost looks Indian lol..but she is Black, FiLipino, and hispanic. They may change as they get older.
back off with the stupid racists comments. you look pitiful doing that. his kids are beautiful
Ahhhhh! I want me another one!
Why does he always say DARKCHILD but doesn’t seem to be proud enuf for a DARKCHILD? Just wondering???
Why does it matter to you? Do you know him or Joy personally? Right so what gives you a right to judge or assume why he is married to her and had children. Is it hard to believe that two people who happen to be in the same industry met each other fell in love and got married, and that was it? Oh let me guess oh because she hispanic and he’s black so that’s just not possible(sarcasm alert!)
Proud? I’m a proud DARKCHILD and I for one can’t wait until this entire world is one, big, beige conglomerate. Too bad I married a DARKCHILD also! (Can’t help it. They’re just so chocolaty!
Once everyone is special…no one will be.
okayyyyyy
Yeah, you’re right. He should have left the woman he loves and had him some Darkchild with a woman he doesn’t love, eventually leaving the woman and leaving his Darkchild with a father s/he only sees on weekends… KMT
If he stays with his woman and brings up his children well, making him a good father and husband, that’ll be something to be proud of. Lord knows many men are struggling with that simple task these days.
lol@bill clinton. interesting looking children. i do agree, they do look like what i’ve known as hispanic. cute
THESE BABIES ARE UBER GORGEOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Cute kids. I love the pic with the little boy at the barbershop, lol.
Cute. I think they look black and Native…And if they look hispanic to some, well that makes perfect sense, cuz hispanics do have African ancestry:)
SOME Hispanics do…
MOST hispanics do, even if they’re light, bright:)
how can he be called “darkchild” smh, im so over these selfhating black men..
Very cute kids.
It’s a good thing when the children take after the cuter parent! They are sooo cute.
cute babies!1 chubby and adorable.
she only married him for a record deal, this is her second relationship with a record producer. Mariah did it thalia did it, Pebbles, Jlo and the list goes on. I saw a interview with her and she talked about everything under the sun except Rodney, I was embarrassed for him.
Don’t know what her reason was, but can say it certainly wasn’t based on looks-lol. Ok, I will be good now.
The kids are cute though.
How do you really know this? Just because she doesn’t talk about her marriage doesn’t mean she doesn’t love him. Sheesh! People kill me thinking they know what’s going on in these celebrities’ lives.
By the way, I can’t remember the last time she had a song out so if she married him for a record deal, that was a stupid move.
Some people are so simple minded, what is looking pure hispanic? I see hispanics that are jet black with coarse hair to white looking with blue eyes. So what is looking hispanic? I live around a lot of hispanics and don’t let them or anyone else have you thinking they look one way, plzzzzzzz. Jerkins babies are some cuties patooties for sure,lol.
Preach luvbug, Preach!
She is a chunky little thing! I agree the boy is the exact replica of his papa.
Can you say DNA test!!!
There is no Hispanic look, Hispanic is an ETHNIC GROUP with people who are White, Black and in between. All those HISPANIC people you know possibly have family members that look like DARKCHILD. lol at some of you thinking you can determine African ancestry by phenotype.
Mr. Jenkins, is a handsome man. I don’t understand the comments eluding otherwise!!
Lol! Watch out baby girl! Elmo’s gonna nibble your ear!
Cute!
I cracked up at this (lol), “I don’t think that the minute someone bring race into a convo we as black people start getting nervous and don’t wanna discuss it, it’s really sad.” Yup, people have different views and perceptions on things especially when it comes to love and relationships involving Black people. It can be touchy for some.
