Nick Cannon has 12 children, with six different baby mamas, and frankly, it's exhausting to even think about, let alone live it. The proud papa might be stretched a little thin but claims he had a vision that "my name will be great as like, the Rockefeller name!"

With news of eldest kids shocked at the number of step-siblings, how's the papa holding up?

Nick Cannon recently spoke about how he was wondering if his third child, six-year-old Golden Sagon was ready to be introduced to his step-siblings. But considering that news of his Brady-Bunch of kids came as a shock to his eldest kids, 12-year-old twins Monroe and Moroccan (with Mariah Carey), he might be rethinking and putting a pin on it.

Cannon, 42, revealed to Dr. Laura Berman on her podcast, "The Language of Love" that the teens wondered where they stood in their dad's life, as he said, "They were like, 'Oh! Well, what about me?'"

Cannon admitted that his eldest twins were only half-heartedly excited about being a big sister and brother and Monroe soon cornered him, "[she] was like, 'You love me the most, right?' I was like, 'Alright, let’s have that conversation.'"

Cannon also said that he feels that it's important that each of his children know that they are special to him, in their unique ways, "You find something that [they] can have that’s just theirs. Every child wants that."

It might be time for Cannon to stop his insemination bid as he confessed that while he's not sure if having more babies has come to an end for him, he plans to be a lot more "intentional" about it now because time is one thing he cannot make more of.

On the same podcast, Cannon admitted he's had visions about fatherhood, as he communed with a spirit whole told him he'd have many children.

He told Dr Berman that the visions didn't come to him as one whole, like a "Father Abraham conversation" but in fact, he got them "in pieces, or they're fragmented."

Cannon also admitted that he didn't have that "Bible-like clarity" but, "I heard that like, 'Yo, you're gonna be a father of many. There's gonna be your great influence, your lineage, your offspring are gonna do great things.' I had the vision that my name will be great as, like, the Rockefeller name."

Cannon also told Berman that he still has relationships with all his baby mamas, although he did admit that some of the women he's had children with are monogamous with him, while others just want to co-parent, without any names taken.

Refresher: All His Babies & Baby Mamas

Nick Cannon first became a father to twins Moroccan and Monroe (born April 30, 2011), with his then-wife Mariah Carey. The two have long been divorced but are happy to co-parent peacefully, getting along just fine despite Cannon's propensity to spread his, err, seed, far and wide.

His third child was with model and social media influence, Brittany Bell. Cannon's son Golden Sagon was born on Feb. 21, 2017, soon followed by two more children with Bell, daughter Powerful Queen (born Dec. 23, 2020), and son Rise Messiah (born in September 2022).

He also had twin sons Zion Mixolydian and Zillion Heir (born June 14, 2021), and another daughter, Beautiful Zeppelin (born Nov. 11, 2022) with DJ and radio personality, Abby De La Rosa.

He had a son Zen (born June 23, 2021) with social media influencer Alyssa Scott but sadly, the little boy passed away the same year in December. This did not stop the parents from hooking up again to have a daughter Halo Marie (born Dec. 14, 2022).

Further, he has a son Legendary Love (born in July 2022) with "Selling Sunset" star Bre Tiesi.

The last baby mama on his list, for now, is model LaNisha Cole, and shares daughter Onyx Ice (born Sept. 14, 2022) with her.

PHEW!

Here's Cannon, with Golden Sagon, "training!"
