- Nick Cannon has seven living children (one deceased), ranging in age from 6 weeks to 11 years old.
- Cannon and his partners have been open about the births of his kids in the media.
Nick Cannon, who has fathered eight kids, has been open about the births of his children in the media.
"I'm having these kids on purpose. I don't have no accident," he told the City Girls rappers JT and Yung Miami during a July 2021 interview on his syndicated radio show on Power 106 FM.
Cannon said he practices 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 added during his conversation with JT and Yung Miami.
In 2017, he connected his aversion to using condoms to his ongoing struggle with the autoimmune disease lupus in an interview with Howard Stern. "I'm probably gonna die sooner than most people... so let's fuck all night! So why wear condoms? I might not be here tomorrow," he told the legendary shock jock.
He told the Drink Champs podcast that he had taken a vow of celibacy after consulting with his therapist in October 2021. He explained how he broke his vow on a recent episode of the Lip Service podcast.
Cannon told E! News that he was not planning on having more children and had a vasectomy consultation in May 2022. However, in July he told ET's Nischelle Turner that he would not be surprised if he had three more kids in 2022.
Cannon and then-wife Mariah Carey welcomed twins named Monroe and Moroccan in April 2011.
Carey and Cannon got married in 2008 after a brief courtship. They had twins, Moroccan and Monroe, who they and the press nicknamed #dembabies, in 2011. They separated in 2014 and their divorce was finalized in 2016. They continue to co-parent.
Cannon shared some of their parenting challenges, including a squabble over when the twins would be allowed to get a cell phone, on "The Nick Cannon Show."
Most recently, Cannon made headlines after renting out a water park for a day for the twins.
In February 2017, Cannon and model Brittany Bell announced they had a son, Golden "Sagon."
Bell and Cannon dated on and off for years and were spotted going to dinner together in June 2022. Bell is a former pageant queen who was crowned Miss Arizona in 2010 and Miss Guam in 2014.
Bell's first pregnancy was reported in November 2016.
Cannon confirmed that he was the baby's father in an interview on the Breakfast Club in November 2016. "God said be fruitful and multiply. I'm doing the Lord's work," he told hosts DJ Envy, Charlemagne Tha God, and Angela Yee.
He announced the baby's birth with a sweet Instagram message in February 2017.
"God always reminds us of our purpose #TrueHappiness Welcome to Earth Son! Golden "Sagon" Cannon 2/21/17 #Awakened," he wrote in a caption of a now-deleted photo of him practicing skin-to-skin contact with his newborn.
In December 2020, Cannon and Bell welcomed their second child, a daughter named Powerful Queen Cannon.
Bell announced that she and Cannon were expecting their second child together by posting an image of Golden sporting a Spider-Man costume with a cape that read "big brother" on the back in June 2020.
They announced the birth of their daughter, Powerful Queen Cannon, by posting a Christmas-themed family photo on Instagram.
"The best gift ever ♥ we have been surprised with... A GIRL!!!!!" Bell wrote in the caption.
