Kevin Hart admits to cheating on his wife while she was pregnant

Updated

Kevin Hart has revealed he was 'guilty' of cheating on his pregnant wife Eniko.

The Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle actor was hit by an infidelity scandal in October when he told fans he was involved in an extortion attempt by someone who had a 'sexually provocative' video of him with another woman.

At the time, his wife Eniko was heavily pregnant with their son Kenzo, who was born in November.

Addressing his behaviour in detail in an interview with US radio show The Breakfast Club, Hart said: "I'm guilty, regardless of how it happened and what was involved, the s**t that I can't talk about, I'm guilty. I'm wrong.

"It's beyond irresponsible. There's no way around it. That's Kevin Hart in his dumbest moment. That's not the finest hour of my life. With that being said, you make your bed you lay in it.

"You don't plan to f**k up. You f**k up, and then you go, 'Oh s**t, I f**ked up. I'm gonna go home, I'm gonna address it, I'm gonna make my wife fully aware of what's going on in the situation that I have now put us in and I'm hoping that she has a heart to where she can forgive me and understand that this is not going to be a reoccurring thing and allow me to recover from my f**king massive mistake. That's what I'm trying to do not only as a man, but within teaching a lesson to my son."

He said Eniko hadn't made it easy for him to make amends: "Your woman is not a f**king rug. You're not going to walk over your woman's back. Any woman is going to — you're going to get some s**t. It's a cold house, it's a very cold house for a minute and rightfully so."

He also addresses claims made by his ex-wife Torrei that he had cheated on her with his current spouse.

The two women were in a war of words on social media in August after Eniko wrote about being with Kevin for 'eight years' - which would have been since 2009.

Torrei, mother of two children from her marriage to Kevin, split from the actor in February 2010, with the pair divorcing in November 2011. He went on to marry Eniko in August 2016.

After a fan pointed out the time discrepancy between the start of Eniko and Kevin's romance and the end of his first marriage, Eniko wrote on Instagram: "Their marriage was broken way before I came in the picture. They were separated living in separate homes. I was never a secret... I never wrecked any home."

Torrei then stepped in, writing: "Eniko sweetheart normally I don't feed in to this, but when you addressed me directly, you forced my hand to respond.

"We have made successful strides to become a loving co parenting family, but you have now left it open for my character to be questioned. You, Kevin, and I know the truth."

In Thursday's interview, Kevin addressed the allegations that he cheated on his first wife with Eniko: "When people try to put that s**t on (Eniko) like calling her a home wrecker, that got under my skin and I had to breathe. That title was put on her by my ex out of anger or what."
