By Merryn Porter |
Father-of-12 Nick Cannon has admitted he is unsure if he is done having kids, saying it's in God's hands.
Cannon, an actor, rapper, podcaster and now host of the US version of The Masked Singer, was taking Entertainment Tonight on an exclusive tour of his production office when the subject of his ever-growing brood came up.
During the interview, he also showed off the purpose-built room where his children can spend quality time with their dad and divulged the secret of spending quality time with so many children.

"E?verybody thinks it is time management. It's energy management," Cannon said, when asked how he fit in time with all of his children.
"As long as we are all on the same page and we've all got the same goal to be the best parents we can possibly be, that works.
"And then the scheduling is the scheduling. That's the secret. I just gave you all the secret."

During a tour of his office space, Cannon also showed off the massive playroom จC dubbed "the nursery" จC which he set up so his children could visit him at work.
When asked how many children could fit inside, he joked, "about 12."
The office space also boasted a candy room and a gaming arcade.
But it was the question of whether he was finally done having kids that drew the most surprising response from Cannon.
"God decides when we're done," he said. "I've ?got my hands full and I'm so focused on like... so as of right now... but when I am 85, you never know," he said.
Cannon shares his 12 children with six women.

His youngest child, Halo Marie Cannon, was born on December 14, 2022, and is his second child with Alyssa Scott. The pair also shared Zen, who passed away at five months after a battle with brain cancer.
He also has 11-year-old twins Moroccan and Monroe with former wife and pop icon Mariah Carey.
Next comes son Golden with Brittany Bell. They also share daughter Powerful Queen, and son Rise Messiah.
He has twin sons Zion and Zillion with Abby De La Rosa. She is also the mother to his daughter Zeppelin.
He also shares a son Legendary Love with Brie Tiesi and a daughter Onyx Ice with LaNisha Cole.
But it is not all roses being a dad to so many kids. Late last year he admitted during an episode of Paramount+ show The Checkup: With Dr. David Agus that he struggled to find time for all his 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," he said.
"One 'cause I'm constantly working and two because I'm just spread thin."?
