Proud papa!
Nick Cannon has seven kids by four different ladies — and another one on the way with a new baby mama! The Wild 'N Out creator, 41, joked he was taking a hiatus from baby making after his therapist recommended he slow things down after welcoming four kids in less than a year.
"My therapist says I should be celibate," The Masked Singer host spilled in September. "Ok, give me a break bus. I'm [going to] take a break from having kids,” he added.
The radio show host first became a dad in 2011 when he and then-wife pop icon Mariah Carey gave birth to their twins Monroe and Moroccan. He also shares four-year-old son Golden and 13-month-old Powerful Queen with Brittany Bell, in addition to five-month-old twins Zion Mixolydian and Zillion Heir with Abby De La Rosa.
The same month, Cannon also welcomed his seventh child with ex Alyssa Scott. The duo's baby boy, Zen, tragically died at five months old of a brain tumor in December 2021.
Weeks after Cannon shared the news of his son's heartbreaking death, he revealed he's expecting his eighth child with model Bre Tiesi.

Mariah Carey
The "All I Want For Christmas Is You" songstress and The Nick Cannon Show host tied the knot in 2008, but ultimately called it quits in 2014. Their divorce was finalized two years later. They share 10-year-old twins Monroe and Moroccan together.
The former flames remain on good terms as OK! learned following the tragic passing of his son Zen, Carey reached out to offer her condolences. "Mariah has reached out to Nick in private to express her deepest and most sincere condolences for the loss of his son," a source close to the singer spilled. "She is not expected to say anything about it publicly and she will not discuss it if asked about it because Mariah prefers to keep these types of matters private."
Brittany Bell
After his split from Carey, Cannon welcomed his third child in 2017 with Bell, son Golden "Sagon". The model then welcomed a daughter, Powerful Queen, in December 2020. She previously shared she gave birth to their daughter via a water birth.
Abby De La Rosa
It is unclear when Cannon and De La Rosa began hooking up. The DJ announced on April 11, she was expecting twins with the rapper.
A couple months later she gave birth. De La Rosa announced the exciting news on Wednesday, June 16, via Instagram. "JUNE 14TH, 2021! Welcome to the world. Zion Mixolydian Cannon & Zillion Heir Cannon #myworld #mytwinboys," she captioned a video in which she rocked the newborns from a hospital bed.
Alyssa Scott
The 41-year-old entertainer and Scott welcomed Zen back in June, making him Cannon’s seventh child. As OK! reported, the doting dad tearfully announced his baby boy’s passing on his Tuesday, December 7, episode of his talk show.
On December 5, Zen took his last breath as his mom and dad held them in their arms. "I see it as a blessing that I got to be there," Cannon said of his son's last moments. "Alyssa says, 'I think he was just waiting for you. We had a short time with a true angel."
Bre Tiesi
During the Monday, January 31, episode of The Nick Cannon Show, the talk show host revealed he and the soon-to-be mama were expecting their first child together, making the baby Cannon's eighth kid. After joking he was "starting his own football team," Cannon confirmed: "It's a boy! We found out yesterday."
He also explained Tiesi was pregnant before he took a vow of celibacy late last year and that the two found out she had a bun in the oven before Zen passed away. The soon-to-be coparents decided to keep their pregnancy news hidden to respect Scott's grieving process at the time.
However, speculation that Cannon had another baby on the way began mounting over the weekend when photos of him and Tiesi at a gender reveal party in Malibu circulated online, showing the duo wearing all-white ensembles while blue confetti flew in the air.
