Meet all 12 of Nick Cannon’s children – and their mums: he married only once to Mariah Carey and co-parents with Selling Sunset’s Bre Tiesi, so who are The Masked Singer host’s other baby mamas?
- Nick Cannon was a Mariah Carey superfan who married the star in 2008, had twins 3 years later and divorced in 2016 – and says he used to be a ‘toxic cheater’ before discovering ‘consensual non-monogamy’
- The Wild ‘n Out lead also fathered 3 children with radio personality Abby De La Rosa and 2 with model Alyssa Scott – including a son who tragically died of brain cancer at 5 months old
Nick Cannon has been surprisingly open about the births of his dozen children (and counting) in the media.
The 43-year-old entertainer said he practises “consensual non-monogamy” and selects the mothers of his children wisely. “Trust me, there’s a lot of people that I could’ve gotten pregnant that I didn’t. The ones that got pregnant are the ones that were supposed to get pregnant,” he said on his on his syndicated radio show in July 2021.
Cannon has also spoken at length about how he prioritises all of his many children. “I wake up being a father thinking about my kids and everything else comes after that,” Cannon told Tetris Kelly at a Billboard Live event in November 2022.
So, with that out the way, who are all Cannon’s children … and their mums?
