Each of these women thinks that she may just be the one who can turn this hot hunk into a husband. The only woman Antonyo can't get over on is his no-nonsense mother, LaTrina. She gave birth to Antonyo at age 15. Raising him all alone, she has worked hard to change her life and be a good example for her son.
