At 41, the entertainer confessed that he has never experienced true love, despite currently maintaining relationships with multiple women.
Speaking on his current dating life, Darlington revealed his “strength in numbers” approach to relationships. “I’m 41 years now, I’ve never fallen in love, I’m talking to 6 different girls now, you can’t be the only one,” he stated. He further disclosed that a previous marriage plan collapsed when he was honest about his desire for multiple partners: “I almost got married to one but she left me because I told her I’m polygamous in nature”.
Following that experience, Darlington shared controversial advice he received from his brother regarding how to manage future partners:
“He said I should just bring them in, get them pregnant and then I can tell them afterwards”.
