Kevin Hart discussed the effect his 2017 cheating scandal had on his kids during Will Smith's takeover of his wife Jada Pinkett Smith's Facebook Watch series, "Red Table Talk" on Sunday.
Hart has four children: Heaven, 16, and Hendrix, 13, with ex-wife Torrei and 3-year-old Kenzo and 8-month-old Kaori with his current wife Eniko Parrish.
“I stepped in some s---, yeah,” Hart admitted when asked about how he addressed his 2017 cheating scandal with Heaven.
“You’re never prepared for that side of it," he continued. "Having a little girl in my life, it’s tough. You don’t realize the impact that your mistakes can truly have. When the kids get involved, it’s a different feeling, it's a different opinion, it’s a different emotion.”

He said one then realizes that there is "an emotional cord that nobody else has the privileges of ever touching."
"When me and my wife went through what we went through and the whole cheating display, my talk with [daughter] Heaven, g------,” he explained. "That was one like no other. Getting my daughter back, getting my daughter to understand that I’m sorry, that I made a mistake, that was real, to understand, I’m still dad."
