Nick Cannon is known for being one of Hollywood’s most prolific fathers — he even managed to parent 5 new babies in 2022 alone!
Now, Cannon is notorious for a lot of things.
Throughout his career, he’s managed to try out many different stints which have earned him a pretty impressive resume.
From hosting, to acting, to stand-up gigs… the man seems to have done it all.
But he actually began his career on the Nickelodeon sketch show All That when he was just a teenager.
After that, though, there seemed to be no stopping the star…
He went on to host his very own The Nick Cannon Show, as well as other gigs such as America’s Got Talent and Lip Sink Battle Shorties.
The California native also has a load of acting experience under his belt.
His best-known movies include Drumline and Love Don’t Cost a Thing.
He has even dipped his toe into the world of music, having released 2 albums.
But there’s something else he’s pretty well known for…
His love life has certainly been a rollercoaster.
And which partner to better to start off with than the Queen of Pop herself, Mariah Carey.
Cannon’s relationship with Carey was very public, with both of them being extremely loved-up throughout their time together.
They even have twins together, Monroe and Moroccan, aged eleven.
But in 2012, the couple called it quits in what Carey described to be a “tough” split…
Wherein both parties spent a lot of time hashing things out with divorce lawyers.
But thankfully, Cannon and Carey remained friends in the end.
However, Cannon quickly moved on, being linked with other women.
One of these women is Brittany Bell, who the comedian went on to have 3 children with.
Golden “Sagon” was born in 2017, and Powerful Queen was born in 2020.
But this is where things get a little sticky…
It was reported that Cannon was seeing 3 women, after stating he doesn’t believe in monogamy.
“I think I’ll never be able to be with just one woman again,” he said during an episode of the podcast ExpediTIously.
And he stayed true to his word…
He was reportedly still dating Bell alongside other women, including model Jessica White.
White even revealed that she had a miscarriage around the same time that Bell announced her second pregnancy.
Then in 2021, the star welcomed twins with Abby De La Rosa…
They were named Zion Mixolydian and Zillion Heir.
But sadly, Cannon suffered a tremendous loss later that year…
His 5-month-old son, Zen, passed away.
He had fathered the child with model Alyssa Scott.
He opened up about the loss on The Nick Cannon Show.
Cannon explained that Zen was suffering from a brain cancer called hydrocephalus…
He even underwent brain surgery.
But sadly the tumor “began to grow a lot faster,” and he passed away in December 2021.
This news broke the hearts of fans all over the globe.
However, thankfully the pair managed to conceive again.
Scott announced the pregnancy back in October.
Even Free Guy star Ryan Reynolds chimed in, appearing to mock Cannon’s announcement.
“We’re gonna need a bigger bottle,” tweeted the star, quoting an article referring to Cannon’s latest announcement.
Reynold’s tweet was a play on words of the infamous line from Jaws: “We’re gonna need a bigger boat.”
But don’t worry, it also refers to an in-joke between Cannon and Reynolds too.
Cannon featured in an advert for Reynolds’ alcohol brand Aviation Gin, aptly titled ‘The Vasectomy’.
The ad shows Cannon creating a cocktail named after the title, because, in his own words, “Lord knows I need one.”
Then, it shows Reynolds coming on screen to “take it from here” as he has “3 kids.”
To which Cannon responds with: “I have 8.”
Upon hearing this, Reynolds spits out his drink everywhere, before it ends with the pair hugging…
And Reynolds saying: “It’s no wonder you have 8 kids, you smell amazing.”
But this year alone, Cannon has managed to top that total…
As he now has a whopping twelve kids!
The first of this year’s brood came with Bre Tiesi.
She gave birth back in June to the pair’s first child together.
Cannon’s second child of the year was mothered by LaNisha Cole.
She is known for her modeling stint on The Price Is Right.
Rise Messiah Cannon was born back in September.
But Cannon was by no means done fathering kids in 2022…
He went on to welcome another little one with De La Rosa…
Their third child together came in the form of Beautiful Zeppelin, who was born back in November.
And Cannon’s fifth and final child of the year was mothered by Scott.
It comes a year after the pair lost their 5-month-old son Zen.
