- Oops!Something went wrong.Please try again later.
Nick Cannon is the proud father of 12 children.
The 42-year-old TV personality first became a dad in 2011, when he welcomed twins Monroe and Moroccan with ex-wife Mariah Carey. Since then, Cannon has gone on to welcome 10 more children with six women.
The Wild ‘n Out host has often spoken about the joys of having a big family, though it comes with its challenges too. He recently told People that his “goal in life” is to provide for his children.
“I understand that my lifestyle isn’t typical to society and can be viewed as unorthodox in some ways. But my goal in life is just to love my kids and be there for my kids and provide for them,” he said.
Last year, it was reported that Cannon pays $3 million annually in child support, though Cannon revealed he actually pays a lot more.
The Masked Singer host has also shared that he’s previously considered getting a vasectomy. However, it seems his plans to get a vasectomy were put on hold when he welcomed his most recent child, daughter Halo Marie Cannon with Alyssa Scott, in December 2022.
