Nick Cannon Thinks Having 12 Kids Might Have Been Response to Trauma: ‘I’m Learning That Now’

“Prepare to meet the Cannon the world has yet to see: heartfelt, complicated, and genuinely committed to showing up for the people he loves — with his trademark comedy, of course,” it continues. “From million-dollar meetings to midnight diaper runs, the global entertainer navigates the complete chaos that can only come from his uniquely blended family, all while managing his booming career and headline-making drama.”

The Masked Singer host first became a dad in 2011, when he welcomed twins Moroccan and Monroe with his superstar ex-wife, Mariah Carey. After separating from the Grammy winner in 2014, Cannon and podcaster Brittany Bell welcomed a son named Golden Sagon in 2017, followed by a daughter named Powerful Queen in 2020 and another son named Rise Messiah in 2022. He welcomed twins Zion and Zillion in 2021 with radio personality Abby De La Rosa, with whom he also shares 3-year-old daughter Beautiful Zeppelin. With Selling Sunset star Bre Tiesi, he shares 3-year-old son Legendary Love, and with LaNisha Cole, he welcomed daughter Onyx Ice in 2022.

Cannon is also Dad to a son with model Alyssa Scott named Zen, who died of brain cancer at just a few months old in 2021. The following year, he and Scott welcomed another child together, daughter Halo.

Because of the size of his brood, the Wild n’ Out comedian has endured his fair share of jokes at his expense over the past few years, both at the hands of friends in the industry and the general public. Though he’s always been a good sport about the teasing, Cannon has also always emphasized how much time and energy he puts into being a good father to all of his children, something he now gets to showcase in his Netflix series.

This past September, the Drumline star also acknowledged that his past trauma may have led to him pursuing a lifestyle that enabled him to have so many children. “It was more of being careless, being frivolous with my process, because I could do it, because I had the money, because I had the access to whoever and however I wanted to move,” he said on The Breakfast Club . “Opposed to doing a mature thing and saying, ‘Hey, well, it probably makes more sense to do this.’ And then, obviously, life happens as well. So it wasn’t like, ‘Well, I’m gonna go have 12 kids.’ It was more about, like, ‘Yo, I’mma just live life and have fun and whatever happens, happens, I can handle it.’”
