Cheryl is Karl Malone’s oldest child, along with her twin brother named Daryl, born on 6 June 1981. She is 42 years old as of 2023. Karl Malone’s twins were born from the relationship between his father and his high school lover, Bonita Ford. Her mom gave birth to Cheryl and her twin a few weeks after graduating high school.

Karl Malone has been criticised because he had a child with a 13-year-old girl named Gloria Bell. At that time, he was 20 years old. The former NBA player and Gloria welcomed their son, Demetress Bell, on 3 May 1984. However, Karl was not actively involved in raising Demetress, which made Gloria's family bring up a suit against Malone in 1998.
Bell’s family asked him to provide 0 per week to cater for Demetress’ upbringing, but he decided to settle the case outside court for an undisclosed amount. Over the years, Demetress and his father’s relationship have since gotten closer.
