Beyond the Pole's Empress Wildflower reveals why her 6 kids have different dads

'She got six kids by different fathers…I guess smoking cigarettes while pregnant isn’t the only thing she can’t stop doing,' wrote a fan

While most people struggle to maintain a steady relationship with just one baby daddy, 'Beyond the Pole' star Empress Wildflower makes having six different baby daddies for her six children like a cakewalk. 

The former stripper who currently works as a house mother at a club left fans amused when she revealed the reason behind all her six children having different fathers. The 35-year-old revealed on the recently aired episode of 'Beyond the Pole' that her children have different fathers because she likes 'versatility'. Recently, Empress came under fire from fans after she refused to give up smoking while she was pregnant with her seventh child.

Empress justified her decision to smoke by pointing out how she smoked during all her pregnancies, and all her six children turned out just fine. She admitted that one of her babies was born eight weeks early, but didn't need any ventilator or incubation. Empress concluded that smoking during pregnancy was fine for her, as "God got her" and her children.

Fans were amused by Empress' casual approach towards parenting. A fan tweeted, "They all have different fathers, I like versatility” WTF #BeyondThePole." Another fan wrote, "She said her kids got different fathers cause she like versatility #BeyondThePole." "#BeyondThePole Wait a minute....how many kids did I count??? And they all have different dad's??? Not judging but damn. She seems to be a good mom tho,' pointed a fan. Another fan expressed, "She got six kids by different fathers…I guess smoking cigarettes while pregnant isn’t the only thing she can’t stop doing #BeyondThePole."

After working as a dancer for 21 years, 35-year-old Empress Wildflower managed to save up enough money to start her own tavern. Things were going smoothly for Empress, until the pandemic ruined her tavern business. So she had no choice but to return to the club. But she is back as a house mother, who ensures that all the dancers are taken care of and have everything they need. She explained her decision to take up the job as a house mother which pays a lot less than dancer by pointing out stability in the career and long-term growth rather than a route to making quick money as a dancer.
