AceShowbiz - Over the weekend, Nick Cannon, known for his vibrant personality and versatility, celebrated his son Legendary's 2nd birthday with a festive day out. The event marked a dual celebration, as Cannon, 43, also opened up about his decision to insure his testicles for a whopping $10 million.
In an exclusive interview with ET at the joyful gathering, Cannon said with a laugh, "I had to insure my most valuable assets. Because you hear about like all these different celebrities insuring their legs. So I was like, 'Hey, well, I got to insure my most valuable body part.' "
This decision, executed in partnership with an organic soap and men's grooming company, isn't about planning to expand his family further, but rather ensuring "nothing goes wrong."
Legendary, born on June 28, 2022, is growing up quickly, and Cannon expressed his delight over his son's impressive social skills at such a young age. "I mean it, I'm super impressed, just based off of his social skills. I mean, he's one of these kids that has so much personality and is super talkative - even at like 2!"
Bre Tiesi, Legendary's mother and Cannon's romantic partner for several years, praised Cannon's commitment as a father. Despite having 12 children with multiple women, Tiesi described Cannon as "one of the most committed dads" she knows, emphasizing his ability to manage his time effectively.
"He's such a good person, genuinely, and he really cares and he does want to be there and he's never gonna blow anything off," she stated.
In addition to Legendary, Cannon's sizable brood includes 13-year-old twins Monroe and Moroccan with ex-wife Mariah Carey; Golden Sagon, 7, Powerful Queen, 3, and Rise Messiah, 1, with Brittany Bell; Zion Mixolydian, Zillion Heir, both 3, and Beautiful Zeppelin, 1, with Abby De La Rosa; Onyx Ice Cole, 1, with LaNisha Cole; and Halo, 1, with Alyssa Scott.
Cannon and Scott's other son, Zen, tragically died from brain cancer at just 5 months old in 2021, a heart-wrenching event that adds another layer to Cannon's story of resilience and dedication.
Despite the complexities of co-parenting across different households, Cannon's focus remains on being a present and loving father. Tiesi mentioned, "It makes it easier when you're doing things because you know he's gonna make the effort and he's gonna show up."
Nick Cannon's approach to fatherhood and life reflects his belief in valuing what matters most, be it his diverse family or ensuring his longevity in a way that might seem unconventional to many. This gesture of insuring a personal asset underscores a unique perspective on protecting the future, both his and that of his extensive family.
