Fatherhood - Anthony’s Story + Becoming A Young Dad

Happy Father’s Day to all the dads out there!
I’m taking over Brittany’s channel today to talk about my experiencing dating someone with a kid and how it turned into one of the most fulfilling roles in my life...becoming a dad.
Also make sure to check out Brittany’s video on becoming a young mom and the obstacles she had to overcome to create a stable life for Jadyn. - • PREGNANT AT 19! - My S...

Who decided to cut onions while I was watching this video 😭 Seriously so precious! You’re a gem of a dad, Anthony!

[@anthony.xavier]

Karen Garcia it got me a few times too, thank you for the kind words ☺️

[@JENNIgoodkat]

🥺😭😭😭😭

[@jalingiwan821]

Jadyn is in serious trouble now that Their newborn is there😂 Biological is biological

[@ashleysiebes]

This was incredibly heartwarming! Jadyn and Brittany are so blessed to have you. Happy Father’s Day!!

[@allyteichroeb537]

my biological father wasn’t the greatest guy to my mom. but when i was 9 months old, my mom met my stepdad. he took me in immediately. bought toys for me, helped with the baby things. he didn’t have to but he did. Anthony reminded me of that! Jadyn is lucky to have you!

[@cocobassey]

this is so sweet! happy father’s day anthony, you three have built a beautiful family together :)

[@anthony.xavier]

Coco Bassey Aww thank you :)

[@rosalindmason9242]

Oh my gosh! I only discovered this channel this week and was immediately drawn to what lovely people you three are! Now I am extra excited to see you are Christians because I am a Christian too.

[@brittanyxavier]

Aw thank you so much!

[@bagit90]

I'm a Christian too and your story touched my heart! Your wife's purse collection popped up on my feed today so here i am. 😅😅 I'm going to watch Brittany's story next. Also, i really related to how sometimes God plants little seeds in our hearts that we never saw for our lives to carry out His will and bring glory to Himself. We adopted our daughter from the foster care system. It is something i am so sure God led us in but has come with a lot of joy and a lot of trials. Anyway, thank you for sharing!

[@mariajosezacariasperalta2530]

wow just wow. Anthony, Brittany and Jadyn are so lucky to have you, you are a lovely family. And for some reason, i never doubted she was your daughter, i actually was shook to know this and happy to know they are gentleman like you out there!

[@courtneyfink5880]

11:45 in this video got me 😭 it made me think of when I asked my dad that. My bio dad took his life when I was three. My mom got pregnant with me at 20. My dad adopted me when I was 8. He didn’t have any kids. Was living the bachelor life. Took me and my mom in. When I asked him if I could call him dad, it was no questions asked. ❤️ I am 35 now.

[@Khepera_ominis10]

Idk how or why I came upon this video but I’m 21 year old dude and all I can say is I watched the whole video and I hope the universe blesses me with beautiful women like you’ve been blessed Man U a good dude man.such a dope story bro so much respect

[@anthony.xavier]

Thank you for such kind words, appreciate it bro! The universe will :)

[@lilianarodriguez9946]

i'm not crying, you're crying😭

[@nazlunsal9333]

i lost some tear drops while watching the wedding scene. You have a really big heart and love to these two women I can see that from here... Love you guys

[@VanessaEvelyn]

I’m so glad you decided to share your part! Brought tears to my eyes when I saw you crying.

[@stephram622]

What a beautiful testament to being a Father. Very honest and true. Thanks for your vulnerability. I definitely teared up listening to this. What a wonderful thing to hear of a man who has stepped up to such an important family role and a woman who sought after a man who would be a father and a husband.

[@anthony.xavier]

Stephanie Ake thank you for such kind words :)

[@dela_ruthh]

It was so lovely to hear about Anthony's experience, and I especially like that you mentioned your faith and how your relationship with God played a role in your comfort in your relationship with Brittany and Jadyn! Thanks so much for sharing!

[@sidlo2000]

So beautiful, my dad met my mom when my sister and I (we are twins) and had just turned 5. I don’t know my bio dad but I never felt like I needed to. Love this video.

[@steffywhoelse]

The vows, so sweet! Thanks for sharing your story, absolutely heartwarming and got me so teary 😭🖤

[@danielaaguirre9580]

Dear Jadyn, I come from a similar family along the line of having more than one dad who loves and claims me! Know that you are SOOO LUCKY and special for having so much love and support. God has blessed you with 2 dads! Talk about lottery ! Also Anthony , thank you for your point of view as a man and step-up dad, and for sharing how it made you feel being asked to be called dad (I did this also when I was 3 with my 2nd Dad) it really touched my heart to see this.. also made me cry like a baby how you said vows to Jadyn with a ring !! So special. God bless

[@TeenyQueenyjj]

You’re like my dad he took me in at 6yo when he didn’t have to 💜

[@joannag6839]

So beautiful! I totally cried... multiple times! Anthony and Brittany, you are both incredible parents. I hope one day I can be half as good as you guys are. incredibly inspiring!! ♥️😭

[@egallagher19]

Binge watching on your channel after watching part 1 and 2 of your motherhood story. It’s all so similar to what I’ve experienced in my life and it’s kind of crazy. You guys are wonderful and this is so touching, you’re all so lucky to have each other 💕

[@clarapadron3105]

IN-N-OUT after church is honestly a ViBe

[@MsSunny9]

Jadyn’s so lucky. When my mom married & had kids w her new husband I was commanded to never let my siblings know about the existence of my dad, I was forbidden. If I met w him it had to be top secret mission. Now as an adult the trauma and suppression of emotions that caused in me as a child I will never forgive. In return I was never able to establish a bond w my real father nor her husband. You really are amazing for doing it the way u did.

[@AlbasuniverseBlogspot]

This is such an incredible video. Thank you for sharing this piece with us. I really don't think there's a more grand role. This is very telling of your character as well as your love for these two humans. So much respect for you!

[@supermodelwannabe]

its rare to come across a man like Anthony irl. I had two previous stepfathers and they didnt even try to bond and connect with me. The 1st one made me feel i didnt belong in his relationship with my mother I was 7 yrs old during their marriage. I was 17 at university living in another city when my mother got married again to another guy and he didnt even attempt to reach out to me. Jadyn is blessed to have you in her life as her dad 😭❤

[@babe8917]

I am so sorry you had that experience and I wish your mother had chosen you over them

[@katherinediaz2745]

I cried like a baby, this is so cute! Incredibly heartwarming. Beautiful family together.... Hugs from Ecuador

[@anggiaangela4810]

Wow....I teared up when Anthony read his vows 🥺 Appreciate it tht you made this video. :)

[@Ava-yf1xg]

Thank you for sharing this. I had my daughter at 19 too and was in a terrible relationship, my daughters father is not involved and she will be 3 years old next month. I haven’t been in a relationship since but seeing all of your videos and how much you love and are dedicated to them gives me so much hope and shows me that I really can have a beautiful family in the future. Thank you for being an amazing father and thank you guys for sharing your family with all of us ❤️

[@lilyjones86]

I love this!! My favorite part is how you said you didn't just want to cut someone out because they have a kid. That is exactly my feelings when I met my husband. I had a child too but he had 3. I think people who really navigate and care for eachothers feelings are the best! And you weren't scared because you were meant to be her dad ❤

[@JuliaLebedenko]

Thanks for sharing this! My heart just melted and your incredible story made me cry😭 You are a great dad!!! My dad also came into my life when I was 5. Now I’m 26 and I’m grateful for him every day of my life. 🙏🏻❤️

[@elisacoto2991]

I HAVE NOT CRIED THIS HARD IN A WHILE OMG SUCH A BEAUTIFUL FAMILY.

[@shhshhannon]

Aww! So cute! I'm dead! Great story about the impact and importance of love :'(

[@feritogovea7578]

Anthonyyy you made me cry!!! This was so sweet!

[@samanthad2147]

You Anthony deserved much thanks and credit yourself for being a loving person and opening your heart in what many would find to be a very tough situation to take on at such a young age. No one could or would blame you had you walked away from a woman with a child. The reality is many men would "run for the hills." And no judgment there. But clearly love conquers all! Brittany is an equally amazing mother as she is a wife and you are an equally amazing "step" father as you are a husband. She is SO lucky to have found you. And Jadyn is SO lucky to have you in her life as well. You are clearly a very positive influence on her and great male role model. It's evident because Jadyn looks to be a very happy child raised in a happy home. Way to go Brittany, Anthony! Your new addition to the family soon is one lucky little person! :-)

[@sherlymadelinec3491]

Anthony is amazing step dad omg he is very honest with his feelings in this story and he is very kind heart type of guy 👍👍👍👍

[@marymary1976]

[@kj3735]

You are such a good man! Wishing a lot of happiness to your family 💜 It would be interesting to listen to Jadyn part of the story.

[@greenblood64]

I love all of your stories. It lets us get to know you all. It’s also nice to see your vulnerable sides, because we all have them. Seeing you in the sunlight, it’s hard to believe how insanely blue your eyes are, especially with the dark hair. It’s very striking.

[@prisila118]

Aw happy fathers day Anthony! 😭 You have a beautiful family!

[@anthony.xavier]

Prisila Juarez thank you!! ☺️

[@mthggg]

I wish more people are accepting of women who are single mothers albeit even if they’re divorced single mothers and actually give them a chance. Many people judge in all communities

[@supermodelwannabe]

my single mom had 5 kids with 2 different men. the slutshaming and judgment was traumatizing to hear as a kid 😞

[@annaarjun4085]

Ugh ive been crying non stop this is so cute on so many levels😭😭😭❤

[@brittanyxavier]

Thank you ❤️

[@autumnaddison5008]

Jadyn said on ig that she doesn’t want you guys to have a baby, why is that? And if you were to have another baby when would that be?

[@anthony.xavier]

Autumn & Addison I’m assuming she was probably joking lol She always asks when she will be getting a sister/brother (mainly sister ha) Honestly we are not sure yet, there’s a few other things we want to do before bringing another squish home :)

[@autumnaddison5008]

Does jadyn still visit her biological dad?

[@anthony.xavier]

Autumn & Addison yes she does!

[@irenemega]

So beautiful!!!!!!

[@alinprom]
