The Game Expecting Fourth Child with Shaniece Hairston
Months after reports emerged that rapper The Game was expecting a child, he has confirmed the news in an interview with The Shade Room. The 44-year-old Compton native is expecting his fourth child, and it seems that this new chapter in his life has led him to reflect on his own aging as a parent.
When asked about his thoughts on being a father in his 40s, The Game said, "I think about it in terms of years. I’m 44. When my new child is 21, I’ll be 65, right? And that seems kinda old, until you start thinking about who’s 65 now." He then name-dropped Mariah Carey, 55, and JAY-Z, 54, as public figures who, despite their age, still exude a youthful energy.
The "How We Do" rapper expressed that this new parenting experience will be different from when he was younger. He noted, "I was still hardheaded, still in the streets… I don’t know how I even made it to this point in my life doing the things that I was doing, but I made it. My kids are all fine, smart, straight A students and good, so it’ll just be interesting to parent at this age."
The Game is already a father to three children: Harlem Caron, 21, with Aleska Jordan; King Justice, 17, and Cali Dream, 13, with Tiffney Cambridge. As for whom he’s expecting with this time around, InTouch has reported that he is expecting with Shaniece Hairston, daughter of Basketball Wives star Evelyn Lozada. While neither party has confirmed the report, the pair were spotted together grabbing dinner at NoBu in December 2023, fueling relationship rumors.
Hairston shared her baby news back in June, and Lozada took to social media to express her joy over soon becoming an "Abuelita." In a heartwarming post, Lozada wrote, "Happy birthday to my AMAZING daughter @shanieceh. You have always been my greatest blessing, and now you are bringing even more joy into our lives with your little one on the way… Becoming a mom at 17 was a journey we took together, and seeing you embrace motherhood fills my heart with pride and love."
As The Game prepares to welcome his new child, he’s likely to continue exploring the challenges and joys of parenting in his 40s. With three kids already under his belt, he’s bound to have a unique perspective on what it means to be a father at this stage of life.
