NICK CANNON ON HAVING SO MANY KIDS

TV personality Nick Cannon came from a large family and always imagined that he would create the same for himself… but he is not trying to lead a cult. In an interview with the Los Angeles Times, the father of 12 revealed the reason he has so many kids is because he is a “people pleaser”.

He explained that a number of his lovers expressed anxiety about their biological clocks ticking during the COVID-19 pandemic and he obliged.

“A lot of them are in the same age group,” he said.

“And I just wanted to give them what they desired. I kept saying, ‘I can handle it,” he continued.

Despite not wanting labels, Cannon appears to be polyamorous as he has romantic relationships with multiple women. He revealed that all the mothers of his children were aware that he was not interested in a traditional relationship when they met him.
