Harden talks about parenting: He lacked father s love in childhood, so he spent more time with his son and didn t force him to play ball.

On October 20, the 36-year-old Harden did not reveal that he had a 6-year-old son, Jace, until his previous Netflix show "Starting 5" was aired online. Harden talked about his love for his son, saying that because his father rarely accompanied him when he was a child, he now wants to spend more time with his son and will not force his son to play basketball.

The 36-year-old Harden is naturally the diamond king of the NBA. Although he has had many affairs and had a vigorous relationship with Odom's ex-wife Khloe Kardashian, Harden has been quite low-key emotionally in recent years.

It was not until the Netflix show "Starting 5" was aired online that Harden announced that he had a 6-year-old son, Jace, who was born in Brooklyn in 2019. Harden has sole custody of his son Jace, and he has made many changes for his son, such as choosing a contract that is convenient for taking care of the child and reducing the time he participates in variety shows.

Harden also talked about how he takes care of his son Jace in the show: "Everyone who has children knows that the love you invest in your child is different from other people. It is pure joy. He is a mini me. You want him to grow up and become a better person than you. This kind of love is different."

"My father was not with me much when I was a child. "This injects some 'fire' into my heart. I want Jess to grow well and stay with me, so I will adjust my schedule for him."

Harden also said that he will not force Jess to play in the future and will let him do what he wants. His task is to take good care of him, teach him to be a good person, and try his best to ensure that he is on the right path.

Harden's current girlfriend Paige Speights is currently pregnant, and her due date is late February 2026. She will give Harden another child. It is worth mentioning that Paige Speights previously had a son with former Heat championship point guard Chalmers, who was also raised by them together, so Harden will soon become the father of three little boys.
