Kevin Hart’s Dad and Mom
To begin with, Kevin’s both parents are still alive and are in contact with him. Kevin was born to Henry Robert Witherspoon and Nancy Hart on July 6, 1979 in North Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Almost from the onset, Robert was not capable of being a father to his son. He was a cocaine addict who spent most of his time in and out of jail.
Nancy, Kevin’s mother had the difficult and daunting responsibility of raising her son on her own. Being a single mother, she had to work hard to provide for her sons. According to what Kevin says, his mother suffered to raise them and he actually grew in the streets. She tried to put him and his brother through school and managed to take them to not so good schools. To help support his single mother and bear the burden of running the family, Kevin took a job as a shoe salesman.
