Nick Cannon Admits He’s “Spread Thin” With So Many Children

It took Nick Cannon 12 kids and six baby mamas to realize that being a daddy to so many little ones is not always the most straightforward job.

The talk show host, actor, and part-time rapper dished on his hectic family dynamic in a new episode of Paramount+’s “The Checkup with Dr. David Agus.” He said his “biggest guilt” is not being able to spend time with each of his kids. Cannon currently has 11 kids and one on the way.

“Being a father of multiple kids, it’s always the biggest guilt on me is that I don’t get to spend enough time with all my children,” he shared before admitting that he is simply “spread thin” between juggling fatherhood and his blossoming career.

Cannon and Abby De La Rosa welcomed their third child together, Beautiful Zeppelin, in November. The two already share 18-month-old twin sons Zion and Zillion. Cannon is also expecting a child with Alyssa Scott, a year after the pair’s son, Zen, died. His two oldest children are 11-year-old twins Moroccan and Monroe, whom he shares with ex-wife singer Mariah Carey. He and his ex-girlfriend Brittany Bell have three children: Golden, Princess, and Rise. The 42-year-old also has a 5-month-old son, Legendary Love, with Brie Tiesi, and a 3-month-old daughter, Onyx Ice, with model LaNisha Cole.

With such a lineup of women and children, it appears impossible to show up for everyone every single day. Thankfully for him, his children will at least be financially set.
