Donnie McClurkin Admits to Fathering a Son Out of Wedlock 12 Years Ago
Gospel artist and pastor Donnie McClurkin reveals some personal information about his past on a recent episode of TBN's Praise The Lord. In April 2000, he stated he became a father and had son named Matthew who is now 12. McClurkin considered fathering a child out of wedlock as a "personal failure," but stated "I don't regret my son. I love him." McClurkin apparently has not been in the child's life for some time but wants to make a change for the good now.
Donnie McClurkin admits it has been a struggle to break the cycle of being a father who neglects his children.
"Although my dad was in the home, he never spent time with me," he told Kirk Franklin.
