Overview

  • During a June 19 appearance on the Really Good Podcast, Cannon attempted to name all 12 of his children but could not recall two of them.
  • He attributed fathering many children to a “king complex,” joking that kings traditionally have large numbers of offspring.
  • He shares his 12 children among six women: Mariah Carey, Brittany Bell, Abby De La Rosa, Bre Tiesi, LaNisha Cole and Alyssa Scott.
  • Citing his financial situation, he said he would press pause on having more children for the foreseeable future while remaining open to future additions.
  • His fatherhood has faced scrutiny, as Alyssa Scott recently suggested limited involvement with their daughter Halo and the family continues to grieve son Zen’s death from brain cancer.
