Nick Cannon said on E! News' "Daily Pop" show that he has had a "vasectomy consultation."- Earlier this year, Cannon announced that he is having an eighth child with another woman, model Bre Tiesi.
Nick Cannon revealed that he has had a "vasectomy consultation" after the announcement that he is having an eighth child earlier this year.
In October 2021, Cannon told Revolt's "Drink Champs" that he would try to be celibate until 2022, after having four children in less than a year with three different women. Cannon welcomed a son with model Alyssa Scott, twins with DJ Abby De La Rosa, and a daughter with model Brittany Bell between December 2020 and June 2021. At the time, the "Wild 'N Out" host already had twins with Mariah Carey and another son with Bell.
However, in January, Cannon shared on his morning talk show, "Nick Cannon," that he was expecting an eighth child with another model Bri Tiesi, which he knew about before his celibacy announcement.
During an interview on E! News' "Daily Pop" show, Cannon told hosts Justin Sylvester and Loni Love that he wants to focus on the children he already has rather than have more.
"I don't know if I would've designed it this way, but it's one of those things when you're blessed with the gifts of children — and as we all know, I've been through so much, I find solace, I find peace in my children and I find purpose," he said. "So, I'm not out here looking."
The "Masked Singer" host continued: "I already went and got my vasectomy consultation. I ain't looking to populate the Earth completely, but I'm definitely looking forward to taking care and loving all the children that I currently have."
In February, Cannon told Dr. Laura Berman on "The Language of Love" podcast that he didn't have the "bandwidth" for more children.
Cannon also expressed during the podcast that he had "heavy, heavy guilt" for not spending enough time with all of his children, especially his son Zen, who tragically died of a brain tumor in December at 5 months old.
"The one thing that keeps me up at night. There's this heavy, heavy guilt with the fact of, I didn't get to spend time like I really wanted to with Zen," he said.
Cannon told People last year that he and the child's mother, Scott, did not treat Zen with chemotherapy after finding out about his tumor because they "didn't want him to suffer."
