In the last 12 years, Nick Cannon (San Diego, California, 42 years old) has had 12 children with six different women. Five of them were born in 2022. The American actor and presenter, who has a long career behind him, has become a regular in the American tabloids, where each of his new descendants is announced between stupor and confusion. fascination. Although in recent times his personal life has generated unusual interest, he is more than used to media exposure and, far from feeling uncomfortable, he speaks openly about the most private aspects of his life.
in an extensive interview recently granted to Los Angeles Times, He tried to explain his particular vision of the family. According to him, as a result of the pandemic, some of the women with whom he had an open relationship expressed their desire to be mothers. He accepted. “Many of them are a similar age. And he just wanted to give them what they wanted. I said to myself: ‘I can handle it’. Cannon eschews labels, but to describe his relationships he used the term “consensual non-monogamy” in an interview broadcast live. by Youtube the last summer. “Pretending that I am in a monogamous relationship would be misleading. Because, as we know, monogamy defines one thing, and people like to classify what I do as polyamory or polygamy, but I always say that to define myself is to confine myself,” he added.. At this time, Cannon is the father of 11 children (Zen Cannon, the result of his relationship with Alyssa Scott, died in late 2021 from brain cancer when he was only five months old) and is the father figure of a very unconventional.
Taking into account that his offspring is distributed in six different addresses, it seems difficult that Cannon can be present in all of them. The artist confronts those who label him irresponsible and ensures that all his children are perfectly cared for, also from a financial point of view.

With the announcement of the birth of his eighth child, Legendary Love (with model Bre Tiesi), in July 2022, he decided to stop and reflect, beginning a period qualified by himself. as “celibate”.
“My therapist was one of the people who told me that I should probably be celibate,” he explained on his radio show, assuring that for months he stuck to his decision. However, at some point the celibacy ended because in September 2022 he became a father for the ninth and tenth time, along with the model Lanisha Cole (mother of little Onyx Ice) and, again, with the model Brittany Bell as well. (Rise Messiah), respectively. Baby number 11 arrived last November, his second child with Abby De La Rosa, named Beautiful Zeppelin. And the last one in mid-December 2022, Halo Marie, along with Alyssa Scott, with whom he already had another offspring. His fatherhood led him to reflect on his own shortcomings and a few years ago he chose to resume his studies and enter the university.
