AceShowbiz - Being a father of 11 is not an easy task and Nick Cannon is aware of that. During his recent appearance on "The Checkup with Dr. David Agus", the "Nick Cannon Presents: Wild 'N Out" star opened up about his "biggest guilt" over having many children.
"Being a father of multiple kids, it's always the biggest guilt on me is that I don't get to spend enough time with all my children," the 42-year-old explained. "One 'cause I'm constantly working and two because I'm just spread thin."
Nick has 11-year-old twins Moroccan and Monroe with ex-wife Mariah Carey; Golden, 5, Powerful Queen, 2, and Rise, two months, with Brittany Bell; twins Zion and Zillion, 17 months, and one-month-old Beautiful Zeppelin with Abby De La Rosa; Legendary Love, 5 months, with Bre Tiesi; and Onyx Ice, 2 months, with LaNisha Cole.
Nick himself is currently expecting his twelfth child with Alyssa Scott. Alyssa is the mother of his late son Zen who died of brain cancer aged just five months last December.
In November, "The Masked Singer" presenter said he's unsure if he'll have more kids after that and insists he is "good" with his family situation the way it is. "I don't know, man. I have no idea. I think I'm good right now!" he told Billboard News when asked when fans can expect more babies, adding that his kids were always his top priority and he credited his brood for inspiring his work.
"That's my number one priority, obviously. I wake up being a father thinking about my kids and everything else comes after that. My kids are definitely the creative force in all that I do," he further explained. "They're the funniest, most innovative, best questions…every project I'm working on now is through their eyes."
Nick previously admitted he didn't believe monogamy was healthy. He said, "You can still make covenants without getting the government involved, where two people say, 'We choose to be monogamous because we value this so much, we don't want anyone to be a part of this energy we have,' and I don't feel like that's healthy. I don't think monogamy is healthy. I feel like that gets into the space of selfishness and ownership."
