Nick Cannon is a father of 12 children with six women. Learn more about each of his sons and daughters.<\/h3>\n

<\/p>\n

Nick Cannon<\/a> <\/strong>is the proud father of 12 children with six different women, and he has frequently spoken about embracing his large, unconventional family. While his growing brood has sparked headlines and internet jokes over the years, the comedian, actor and television host has maintained that he is an active and involved parent to each of his children.<\/p>\n

Nick welcomed his youngest child<\/a>, daughter Halo Marie<\/strong>, with Alyssa Scott<\/strong><\/a> in December 2022, just weeks after he and Abby De La Rosa<\/strong><\/a> welcomed their third child together, Beautiful Zeppelin<\/strong>. Over the years, Nick has repeatedly said that all of his children were planned<\/a>. “Trust me, there’s a lot of people I could’ve gotten pregnant that I didn’t,” he said during a 2021 episode of his podcast. “The ones that got pregnant are the ones that were supposed to get pregnant.”<\/p>\n

In an August 2021 appearance on The Breakfast Club,\u00a0<\/em>the\u00a0Wild ‘N Out<\/em> host revealed his views on marriage<\/a> and defended his large and growing family. “Just the idea that a man should have one woman, we shouldn’t have anything. I have no ownership over this person. If we’re really talking about how we coexist and how we populate, it’s about what exchange can we create together? I’ve never really subscribed to that mentality,” he said.<\/p>\n

Plus, a person close to the singer revealed to HollywoodLife<\/strong> that the women who have birthed Nick’s children<\/a> are satisfied with the unorthodox situation. \u201cAll the women he has children with are kept in the loop and informed each time he has another baby on the way,\u201d they explained to HollywoodLife<\/strong>\u00a0EXCLUSIVELY<\/a>. \u201cHe has open communication with all of them. Nick has always believed transparency is important. It would not be fair to the mothers of his kids, nor to the kids themselves.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Masked Singer<\/a><\/em> host has also defended his parenting<\/a>, telling Men\u2019s Health<\/a><\/em> that he is “probably engaged throughout my children’s day, more often than the average adult can be.” In May 2026, Netflix announced an untitled docuseries centered on Nick’s life as a father of 12. Set to premiere in winter 2026, the series will follow the comedian as he balances raising 12 children with six different mothers alongside his busy career. According to the official synopsis, the show will pull back the curtain on the “complete chaos, headline-making drama, and heartfelt moments” of his unconventional family.<\/p>\n

Nick took to his Instagram<\/a> on Sept. 30, 2022 to announce he and Brittany Bell<\/strong> <\/a>welcomed their third child together<\/a> on September 23, 2022. Alongside a video of Brittany\u2019s lavish baby shower, Nick gushed, “Another Blessing!!! As my journey on this planet becomes more and more remarkable and unfathomable, all I can do is thank God and continue to ask the Most High to order my steps. He has given me stewardship and dominion over a family dynamic that to some is unimaginable. But more importantly he has blessed me with loving individuals to guide me with care through this purposeful life.”<\/p>\n

He then raved about how lucky he is to enjoy this parenting journey with Brittany. “I am so indebted and grateful for the matriarch energy in my time of need. @missbbell has been the rock and foundation of my Fatherhood journey,” he stated. “She has taught me so much about parenting, psychology, spirituality, love and just life in general. For our third child she told me she didn\u2019t want a baby shower and needed NOTHING! All she desired was PRAYER from her authentic Loved Ones! I am learning that is the best GIFT! She introduced me to the concept of a BlessingWay!”<\/p>\n

He also noted the delivery was “probably the most difficult labor and delivery” he “ever witnessed!” He concluded, “48 hours of excruciating pain and life risking danger to welcome 10 pounds of Love and joy named RISE MESSIAH CANNON.”<\/p>\n
