With 12 kids and six baby mamas, Nick Cannon has achieved a lot of high numbers in his life — but there’s one statistic that even he can’t keep track of.
On the Wednesday (July 30) episode of his Nick Cannon @ Night podcast, the Masked Singer host was candid about his body count, aka, the number of women he’s slept with. “We call it the car facts, you wanna know the history of the vehicle,” he said.
“We joke, we have fun … But I think a person’s history is important,” he continued. “I wanna know everything. I don’t need to know the exact number.”
That’s when Cannon revealed, “I lost count a long time ago.”
“But I would like to know a little bit,” he continued. “At least from college forward.”
Cannon has, at the very least, had relations with six people, as the Drumline star has welcomed children with that number of women. He first became a dad in 2011, when his twins with Mariah Carey — Moroccan and Monroe — were born. As of 2025, he also shares Golden Sagon, Powerful Queen and Rise Messiah with Brittany Bell; Zion Mixolydian, Zillion Heir and Beautiful Zeppelin with Abby De La Rosa; Zen and Halo Marie with Alyssa Scott; Legendary Love with Bre Tiesi; and Onyx Ice with LaNisha Cole.
Though he’s acknowledged that it might be more “responsible” to close up shop on reproducing, Cannon has also said that he’d like to have even more kids. One person who apparently called that he’d end up having lots of offspring, the Wild n’ Out star said in a recent Vulture interview, was the late Quincy Jones, who Cannon says told him when he was still married to Carey, “You going to get tired of that soon.”
“I was like, ‘What do you mean? … I got an amazing wife who’s my dream girl!'” Cannon recalled replying to his friend, who countered, “I know your kind … You’re cut from the same cloth as me.”
