The NFL star was joined by his wife—supermodel Chanel Iman—who came to support her husband for his cover launch. In Haute Living‘s exclusive cover story with the star, he opened up about his relationship with Iman and their adorable newborn baby girl, Cali.  “I just want to be her strength, show her the examples that a man should set for her,” he shared about his daughter. “The respect level for women can be lost, and I want her to know that if a man is not treating you the way that I’m treating you, you’ve got to kick him to the curb. That’s what I’m going to show her by being there for her.”

The strong man that he embodies certainly showed, as he arrived at the private event with a big smile, graciously mingling with the guests that came out to celebrate him and posing with his blown-up cover shot. Attendees enjoyed a gourmet meal curated by the Brooklyn Chop House team, including signature steakhouse & Asian specialties like Peking Duck Tacos; an assortment of their homemade, decadent dumplings; Chicken Satays with Peanut Sauce; Chicken Lettuce Wraps; Spicy Kung Pao Chicken; Salt & Pepper Shrimp; Drunken Branzino; Beijing Chicken; and Crispy Sweet Beef. The tasty dishes paired deliciously with sides including Bok Choy, Chicken Fried Rice and Crispy Spicy Sweet & Sour Eggplant.
