Kevin Hart has opened up about how his cheating scandal affected his relationship with his teenage daughter. The 41-year-old comic had <a href="https://www.insider.com/kevin-hart-wife-extortion-instagram-video-2017-9">publicly confessed</a> to cheating on his wife Eniko Parrish while she was pregnant with their son Kenzo back in 2017. While the infidelity was naturally a huge blow to their marriage, Eniko did ultimately stand by The Fatherhood actor. They even went on to welcome their youngest child last year - a baby girl named Kaori. [[instagramwidget||https://www.instagram.com/p/CQWjvBZL2zt/]] Despite the couple's ability to patch things up, Kevin's eldest daughter, Heaven - from his previous marriage to Torrei Hart - really struggled with her dad's public indiscretion. During an appearance on Red Table Talk, the comedian and actor spoke to fellow father Will Smith about how difficult it was for him to talk about it with his now-16-year-old daughter. Check out the episode below: [[facebookwidget||https://www.facebook.com/redtabletalk/videos/1966695776824051]] Kevin said, per <a href="https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/newsbeat-57528258" target="_blank" rel="noopener">BBC News</a>: "Through my public, uh, debacles ... it's very hard to bother me ... very hard ... but when your child shows disappointment, shows emotion, shows 'I don't understand why' and you gotta have those conversations, the head drops for the first time." <img class="size-full wp-image-1263114233" src="https://img.vt.co/2021/06/2CJ6JT5-scaled.jpg" alt="" width="1886" height="2560" />[[imagecaption|| Credit: REUTERS / Alamy]] He added: "Now you realize there's a different emotional cord that can be pulled on you that nobody else has the privilege of ever touching. My daughter touched on that cord, man. When me and my wife went through what we went through and the whole cheating display, my talk with Heaven, god damn. "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. "My daughter was tough on me, until this day my daughter is tough on me. Getting my daughter back. Getting my daughter to understand that I was sorry, that I made a mistake. … That was real." Check out the video Kevin posted apologizing to his wife and kids at the time of the scandal: [[instagramwidget||https://www.instagram.com/p/BZHqi5_n_Vu/]] The cheating scandal arose a year after he tied the knot with Eniko. <a href="https://www.insider.com/kevin-hart-wife-extortion-instagram-video-2017-9">He was forced to publically confess to the infidelity following an alleged extortion attempt</a>, which included footage of him with the other woman. <h6>Featured image credit: PictureLux / The Hollywood Archive / Alamy</h6>
