Keke Wyatt is a master at balancing life as a mother to 11 children.
According to Wyatt, 41, raising her large family is actually not difficult at all. She exclusively shared with us her approach to parenting her brood, stating, "If I need to run errands, I simply take one of my kids along, and that becomes our special time together. Similarly, when I head to the recording studio, I bring along whichever child wants to join me. It's a simple strategy that allows me to have one-on-one moments with each of them."
Wyatt has three children with her ex-husband Rahmat Morton, four children with her ex-husband Michael Jamar Ford, and three kids with her husband Zackariah Darring. In her new reality series, Keke Wyatt's World, which debuted on Thursday, October 12, the singer aims to provide fans with a deeper understanding of how she manages her roles as a mother and a musician. This includes her challenges with postpartum depression and the health issues faced by her youngest son, Ke'zyah.
“[The show] has provided a valuable outlet for me to express my emotions freely. It’s like wearing or not wearing a girdle,” Wyatt shared with Us. “You give that girdle a solid eight hours, and then you're like, ‘All right, it's time to let go.’ When you finally take it off, you feel a sense of relief. It can be challenging and frustrating at times, but it also has its moments of pure beauty. Knowing that I can make a positive impact on someone going through a similar experience brings me joy.”

Wyatt is deeply appreciative and loves him unconditionally, wishing no changes on him. She is grateful for her older children's unwavering support and admires their natural acceptance of their sibling, as if there is no distinction. Wyatt feels blessed to have been guided by the Lord in raising her children to be compassionate individuals.
After having Ke'Zyah, Wyatt is considering the possibility of having more children.
"I originally believed my family was complete with 10 children, but now we have 11. So I can't really predict the future. I might say yes and end up with 12. I can't say for sure," she shared with Us.

"Having experienced a lot in my life, I have changed my approach this time around. Now, whatever difficulties I encounter, I make sure to write about them and then express them through my music," Wyatt revealed. She further expressed her desire for people to realize that they are not alone in facing challenging situations. "We all face our own struggles, and I hope that if someone is going through something I have already overcome, I can assist them in overcoming it too."
