<p id=”par-2_48″>The <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/tag/celebrity-athletes/?swcfpc=1″ target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>three-time Pro Bowler</a> was taken into custody on July 19 by Jackson Township police at the Belden Village Mall following a meet-and-greet event. This arrest came after an outstanding warrant from Michigan was issued regarding unpaid child support. Bell reportedly owes more than $50,000 in child support.</p>

<p id=”par-3_27″>This case is regarding one child, but Bell has seven children in all by six different women and can’t remember the names of all his kids. </p>
<p id=”par-4_37″>During an appearance on <em>Respectfully: The Justin LaBoy Show</em> in late April, the host asked the ex-Pittsburgh Steeler to name all his kids, and that didn’t go so well. Commenters online then dragged Bell over it. </p>
<p id=”par-5_45″>“Justin Laboy was shocked after learning Le’Veon Bell has 6 baby mamas in just 7 years. Justin was also in tears after he asked Le’Veon give him all the 7 names of his kids and he couldn’t remember all their names,” one person wrote. </p>

<p id=”par-6_21″>Another added, “Couldn’t remember all the names in real time and Justin just had to sit there and process that.” </p>
<p id=”par-7_36″>A third person fumed, “Something is seriously wrong with these fools … if I have 6 bm I will be hiding that s***, s*** ain’t something to be proud of. Your decision making is insane.” </p>
<p id=”par-8_53″>Bell retired from the league in 2021 following an eight-year career with the Steelers, the New York Jets, the Kansas City Chiefs, the Baltimore Ravens, and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. His lawyer, Thomas Shaffer, told <a href=”https://www.tmz.com/2026/07/20/leveon-bell-arrested-child-support/” target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>TMZ</a> that the child support payments are based on his NFL salary, which he hasn’t earned in years.</p>
