The comedian is up to 11 kids, with another on the way.
2022 is turning out a lot like 2021 for Nick Cannon. His baby count has continued to steadily tick up, with newborns arriving in June, September (times two), and November. The Masked Singer host officially crossed into double digits of fatherhood and still has at least one child currently on the way.
Cannon’s newest offspring, Beautiful Zeppelin Cannon, was born to Abby De La Rosa on Nov. 11. “BZC” is Baby No. 11 for the entertainer, so the 11/11 birth date is pretty perfect. Cannon celebrated with an Instagram tribute to both Beautiful and De La Rosa, writing in part, “BEAUTIFUL ZEPPELIN aka BZC aka BIZZY B! Get ready because the world is yours! Daddy loves you!!” He also thanked De La Rosa for her “care, words of affirmation, kindness and inspiration.”
The Cannon brood is already set to expand again soon. In October, Alyssa Scott — another one of Cannon’s partners — shared her latest pregnancy, and then later confirmed that the Wild ’N Out vet is the father in a follow-up post on Nov. 3.
If you haven’t caught on by now, Cannon has mastered juggling multiple relationships and reproducing. But understanding his complicated family tree requires an even firmer grasp of his equally complicated love life. Let’s break it down.
If you’re scratching your head, wondering at how all of the pieces of Cannon’s family puzzle fit together, we’re here to help you sort it out. Cannon is linked to both De La Rosa and Scott, plus Brittany Bell, LaNisha Cole, and Bre Tiesi, all of whom have or will give birth to one of his kids in 2022. He and De La Rosa have three little ones together, as do he and Bell; he and Scott are expecting their second child after the tragic loss of their first son, Zen, to cancer in December 2021.
In 2019, Cannon appeared on the ExpediTIously podcast, where he revealed that monogamous relationships aren’t quite his thing. “I think I’ll never be able to be with just one woman again,” he said. “I did it in marriage, I was very faithful in my marriage,” referring to his marriage to music icon Mariah Carey, who he wed in 2008 before filing for divorce in 2014.
Last year, he doubled down on his radio show during a conversation with Basketball Wives star Evelyn Lozada. “Men don’t subscribe to monogamy because they feel like it’s not natural in their makeup, in their DNA,” he said when the reality star spoke about wanting to be in a relationship with one man. “It’s that hunting mentality, but it’s also like, ‘Yo if we suppose to be fruitful and multiply if we here to do this…’ There’s not many creatures on earth that are monogamous.”
It seems that Bell’s 2020 pregnancy may have come in the way of Cannon’s relationship with his previous girlfriend, model Jessica White. The 36-year-old said on Fox Soul’s Hollywood Unlocked with Jason Lee that she found out Bell was expecting “on Instagram along with the rest of the world” shortly after she suffered a miscarriage, per Us Weekly.
