Does Nick Cannon Have Plans On The Horizon For More Kids?

Nick Cannon may finally be putting his baby-making skills to rest after welcoming 12 children with multiple women.

The rapper-turned-TV-star recently opened up about his infamous large family and the possibility of having more children. As for the latter, the "Wild 'n Out" host declared he has no interest in creating more life…yet!

Cannon recently got candid about his life as a father to twelve kids ranging in age from infants to pre-teens. While anyone would have their hands full with multiple children, the 43-year-old appeared to be juggling his responsibilities smoothly.

His impressive achievement made one wonder if he wouldn't mind adding to his large brood; however, this is a question he is tired of hearing. Cannon laughed off the idea of increasing his family, declaring he was on a well-needed break from baby-making. In his words:

"I'm chilling right now. There's no plans on the horizon as of yet. It's so funny, everybody's always trying to get me to have more kids. It's like, 12 ain't enough?"

The TV personality shares twins Moroccan and Monroe with ex-wife Mariah Carey; sons Golden Sagon and Rise Messiah Cannon; and daughter Powerful Queen with Brittany Bell. He has another set of twins, Zion Mixolydian and Zillion Heir, with Abby De La Rosa alongside a daughter, Beautiful Zeppelin.

The list continues with a son, Legendary Love, with Bre Tiesi; a daughter, Onyx Ice Cole, with LaNisha Cole; and two children with Alyssa Scott — son Zen, who died at five months old in December 2021, and daughter Halo Marie Cannon.

Despite having so many children to care for and different mothers to co-parent with, the 43-year-old doesn't shy away from his difficulties. When asked to describe the most challenging aspect of raising 12 children, Cannon declared: "My entire life is challenging. I don't live a normal existence, but I embrace it. I love challenges."

"I wouldn't say there was one specific thing that stands out more than another," he continued. "Every day, there's a new challenge, and I accept it." As for the most rewarding part of being a father of twelve, the multi-hyphenate star noted it was being adored by his kids, saying:

"Just hearing your kids say, 'I love you, Daddy.' You know what I mean? The first time they say it, whether they're one year old or 18 months, to hearing it from your kids that are on the brink of being teenagers, there's nothing better than that."

He added that receiving "big hugs" and "picking them up from school" are some of the best perks of being the father of a large brood. Cannon continued raving about his proud dad moments to PEOPLE, sharing that he is "preparing for all the spring break type of stuff that's right upon us."

"So, a lot of getting back outside again, a lot of basketball starting back up, and just a lot of sports and outdoor activities," he explained. "As a dad, that's the kind of stuff you structure your schedule around, all of your kids' extracurricular activities."

Before declaring his disinterest in having more children, Cannon got fans speculating his goal to have 25 kids after a hilarious TikTok video. Last September, he teased fans about his child support drama in a clip of him filling paperwork at a table.

As he worked while munching on snacks, his phone suddenly alerted him to a FaceTime call from "Baby Mama #25." The ringtone was a female voice, saying: "Nick, it's time for your child support." However, Cannon ignored the call and sent an auto-message that read, "Sorry, I can't talk right now."

The "Drumline" actor echoed the same statement in the post's caption, sparking mixed reactions from fans. One TikTok user compared the female voice to the 43-year-old's ex-wife Mariah Carey, while another joked: "The fact he has them numbered💀😂😂😂"

Meanwhile, some fans found the content insensitive, with one writing: "It's not cute nor funny that u carelessly created all of those broken families/ single mothers who be lucky to have a part-time dad at least."

Despite joking about paying child support, Cannon previously announced he was "not in the child support system that is run by the government." During an appearance on "The Jason Lee Podcast," he clarified that his children and their mothers freely accessed whatever they needed.

"My money is they [sic] money, they [sic] money is my money. … My account is their account, and there's a lot in there, so we ain't gon' run out," Cannon explained, stressing that he was not bothered about protecting his assets even with 12 kids.
