Cam Newton is making headlines this week for getting personal on his podcast. The former NFL quarterback revealed that before he officially started dating his girlfriend, social media influencer Jasmin Brown, he asked her to provide a list of the men she had previously been involved with.
According to Cam, the request wasn’t about control or jealousy. He said it was about avoiding awkward moments in the future. He explained that if he ever found himself in a room with one of her former partners, he would want to know ahead of time rather than be blindsided.
Surprisingly, Jasmin Brown co-signed the request in the comments section, letting the world know she supported Cam’s approach and had no problem being transparent.
Online reactions have been mixed. Some are calling it honest communication, while others think it crosses a boundary. It raises the question: how much do we really need to know about our partner’s past?
Would you ever ask for a list of past lovers before dating someone?
