- Nick Cannon and Bre Tiesi share one child together, Legendary Love, who was born in 2022.
- Their relationship faced scrutiny on season six of Netflix's "Selling Sunset," in which Tiesi stars.
Tiesi said while she was pregnant with her son that she and Cannon had a "beautiful relationship."
Tiesi appeared on E! News' Daily Pop in March 2022, and spoke about her relationship with Cannon, Insider previously reported.
"I think some people have their idea of conventional relationships and certain things but we have a beautiful relationship [where] everything is so supportive and positive," she said.
"We've actually have a very long history, we're going on almost a decade," she continued.
Tiesi also said on the show that though she's had other partners, she's "always come back" to Cannon.
"I just respect and love who he is so much as a person, that when I thought about, 'Do I want my son to be this person? Look at your characteristics, look at your personality, look at how you treat people,'" Tiesi said. "That's what is so much more important to me than anything. And he treats me amazing, so that's all I look at."
Tiesi said in April 2022 that Cannon has a "beautiful" bond with his other children.
In an interview with Us Weekly in April 2022, Tiesi said that she admired Cannon's relationship with his other children.
"He's great," Tiesi said. "I hear him on the phone [with his kids]. I hear stories. I hear stuff about the kids, and I know him very well. [I've been able] to watch him parent and [see] his patience and... his insight and how he explains things. He is just a very nurturing, loving human. Very constructive."
Tiesi also said that she respects the mothers of Cannon's other children, holding that their children are all "siblings." She also said that Cannon provided for her even when he was out of town.
"He'll ask if I need things or just send things," Tiesi said. "But for the most part, I'm very independent. I'm very regimented... But he has been very sweet to just send things and send flowers."
Tiesi said that Cannon "always shows up" if she needs anything from him.
In an interview with Entertainment Tonight in June 2022, Tiesi said that she and Cannon have a "naturally effortless" relationship.
"We just get along so well and everything just flows, and when you have honestly and all those things, it kinda makes it easy," Tiesi said. "And I think our communication is so great that if there's something I don't like, or something I wanna talk about or address, like, he's very easy."
Tiesi said that Cannon has the "ability to be wherever he wants, whenever he wants," in order to be accessible for the mothers of his children, and he makes his schedule work to make sure he's there for his children. Still, she said that she doesn't communicate with the mothers of Cannon's other children, although she felt that "at some point," they would have to speak with each other.
"I think that we're all grown, and I think that everyone has love and respect, and I think it'll be fine," Tiesi said. "We just don't necessarily need to at the moment."
Tiesi said that she and Cannon had discussed having a child for a "long time."
Tiesi confirmed to Entertainment Tonight that she and Cannon had dated for a "long time," on and off over the years.
"He allows me to have my own growth and be my own person, to figure out what really made me happy, in order for us to get to the step to actually welcome a child, 'cause this was a conversation we had for a long time on and off, and I was unsure," Tiesi told ET. "And he was like, 'You need to figure that out first.' And once I did, here we are."
Tiesi said that she plans on being together "permanently" with Cannon, spiritually even if not physically.
"We will always be together, we will always maintain our relationship," Tiesi said. "I can't ever see us not getting along, honestly, or cutting that relationship that we have."
Tiesi said while she was pregnant that "everything is respectful" in her relationship with Cannon.
On a June 2022 episode of the "Know For Sure" podcast, Tiesi said that she and Cannon's relationship was "not necessarily anything" when it came to labels, according to Today.
"This is our relationship and what you do outside of that is what you do outside of that. I'm only worried about my family, I'm worried about my home. All of my needs are met at the end of the day," Tiesi said.
"Everything is respectful, everything is honest," she continued. "We don't really define it."
When Tiesi gave birth to their son, she said she couldn't ask for a "more supportive partner."
Tiesi announced that she'd welcomed her and Cannon's son, Legendary Love, in an "unmedicated home birth" in a July 25, 2022 Instagram post.
"This experience has changed me forever and I couldn't ask for a more amazing and supportive partner," Tiesi wrote in the post. "Daddy showed the f up for us.. I couldn't of done it without you."
Tiesi wished Cannon a happy birthday in October 2022.
In an Instagram post for Cannon's birthday on October 8, 2022, Tiesi said that she and their son would celebrate him "every year" to come.
"Happy birthday to the most beautiful soul we know," Tiesi wrote in the post's caption. "Thank you for the best thing that's ever happened to me. We love you. Cheers to a lifetime of love and memories I got you for life."
Tiesi said that she isn't a "monogamy kind of person" while discussing her relationship with Cannon.
Tiesi said in a conversation with her "Selling Sunset" costars shown in season six that she wasn't quite "single," but would best describe her situation with Cannon as an "open relationship" where they each have freedom.
"We just had a baby, we're really happy," Tiesi said. "So I'm happy in my relationship now, but he films for three weeks. But when he's home, you see him every morning, every night."
Ultimately, Tiesi said that monogamy isn't her thing. She did, however, joke that Cannon must have "super sperm," because their son is "brilliant."
Tiesi defended her relationship to her "Selling Sunset" costars.
Tiesi confronted her costar Chelsea Lazkani in season six, episode eight of "Selling Sunset" over Lazkani's comments about not agreeing with Tiesi's "situation" with Cannon during a dinner in Palm Springs.
"Why is it necessary for you to voice an opinion on my family?" Tiesi asked Lazkani. "I wouldn't talk about yours."
"The kids that he has after, not my choice. That has nothing to do with me. That's his decision on his own," Tiesi said after Lazkani said she had "planned" her situation with Cannon.
Tiesi said that she doesn't need child support from Cannon to provide for her child.
In season six, episode seven of "Selling Sunset," Tiesi discussed her relationship with Cannon with costar Amanza Smith, claiming that Cannon wasn't obligated to pay her child support since he has over 10 children. Neama Rahmani, a personal injury attorney and the president of West coast Trial Lawyers, previously told Insider that Tiesi's understanding of the law was incorrect, and Cannon would still be obligated to pay child support in the state of California.
"There's no legal agreement, there's no, 'You have to do X, Y, and Z, you owe me this, you owe whatever.' We don't have any of that," Tiesi told Smith in the episode. "I take care of myself. And if my son needs something, or we need something, I can ask. That's all I have to do. I know he's a good dad and, like, Nick is not my sugar daddy. Nick is not my reason that I'm where I'm at. He is none of these things."
Tiesi said that she wants to give Legendary Love "everything from me," and not from Cannon.
Cannon said in response that he pays Tiesi "lambo support."
In an Instagram story post, Insider previously reported, Cannon responded to Tiesi's comments on "Selling Sunset" about their child support situation.
"The Government don't have to tell us to pay Child Support…" he wrote. "WE PAY LAMBO SUPPORT!!"
The post contained a photo of Tiesi posing with a Lamborghini, and an additional on-screen caption that read, "Congratulations Boss Lady!! You're killing it!!"
"My money is Their Money!" he wrote in another caption on the story post. "Just accept it, We different over here!! LOL."
Tiesi celebrated Cannon on Father's Day in June 2023.
On June 19, Tiesi posted a photo of her, Cannon, and Legendary Love surrounded by balloons. Some lettered balloons spelled out "F DAY," while one read, "Superhero Dad."
"Our Superhero!" she wrote in the caption.
Tiesi said that she and Cannon don't have a "set schedule" when it comes to parenting.
Tiesi told Entertainment Tonight at Legendary Love's first birthday party in June that Cannon "makes his own schedule," saying that "when he's home, he's here."
"He's very present and he's at anything and everything I ask him to be at," she said. "So, I'm very happy. He's very supportive."
Tiesi said that at times when she has to be out of the house, she can text Cannon and tell him he needs to come by and take care of their son. And when it comes to having more children, she's not quite sure.
"Part of me does want to give him another sibling, but he has a few of those, so I don't think he's necessarily missing out," she said, referring to Legendary Love's multiple other half-siblings through Cannon.
She said that Cannon is "open to whatever" when it comes to having more children together. But ultimately, she wants to focus on "appreciating the time" she has with her son.
