He's an Amazing Father... 

We all know that sometimes when you find true love, it comes with challenges. For a lot of people, finding out someone has a child is a deal-breaker. But Trina Cintron sure is glad she didn't let that stop her from marrying the man of her dreams...

Relationship Status:
I have been married to Anthony [Cintron] for a little over a year now. We've been together for close to three years and I've known him for over five years.

Anthony as a Father: 
Ariana came into my life when Anthony and I became serious. He actually had me meet her before that to make sure she would approve. It was very cute and sweet. He's an amazing father. He absolutely adores her, and she him. I am always amazed by her reaction every time she sees him. She literally screams and runs to him.

His Daughter’s Spirit:
She's one of those little girls who is always drawing and creating something. Her favorite thing is to make something to give to another person. Always...it is never for herself.

Trina as a Stepmom: 
I really hope she likes me as a step-mom. She sure seems to. . .

Why there's no pic of Ariana:
[from the editors] Anthony sure is a good dad! He's so overprotective, he wouldn't let us run any pics of his little girl. Love it!

Would you date someone who has a child?

I had two kids and my husband had one when we got together. However they were very little so it's like they have always been together. Since we have had two more together. Our family is my lil slice of heaven in society's crazy mess of life. I believe no matter what the sitch is if you really want it too work it will. And when its love you don't give up!

However, there are exceptions to rules. If the man i'm getting to know (as a friend) has a kid and he just happens to be 'the one', well, I'll accept it just fine. But at this age, generally speaking? No.

I have a daugter whos 9 months now I've been raising her on my own since the day I got pregnant... I just wish I would get to meet a good man who will love me n my daughter. True love is hard to find (in africa) especially when a child is involved.

A man who has a child and can't even remember his/her name then no. If the man is also willing to become a family and is not with all the baby mama drama then maybe. I don't really know because i said that i would never date a man with children.

A year is nothing, though most people think it is, ive been with my bf for going on 4 years in may, we have 1 daughter. I dont regret her at all but i do wish i would have waited til i had my education to have her. Your a smart girl. Wait til after your married and have an education & solid job to think about having babies, besides that your still just a kid, as am i (but what is done is done), education & career are the keys to success
