Why I Don’t Want All My Kids Under The Same Roof- Nick Cannon Reveals
Nick Cannon has intimated that he is not interested in bringing all children together.
The multi-hyphenate currently has 12 children and is adding more, but he prefers to spend time with each family separately for the time being.
He stated that all of his children get together “when necessary” in an interview with PEOPLE on Friday, April 14. However, he believes that “the only person that would benefit from having everyone in the same space would probably be me.”
“I feel like qualitative experiences are when I can give everyone their own individual experience,” Cannon said. “I actually love stepping into their world. Going to their sports games or giving them their personal time for the holidays. So I have no problem with bouncing around.”
He doesn’t feel like it will be this way forever, however, as most of his kids are still young. “I think as everyone probably gets older, and even as I slow down a little bit more, I’m sure everyone will start coming to me in one place,” he said.
“I actually think it works a lot better [right now]. Because everyone’s busy, not just me. It works to be able to take the time trying to go to them and show the value of being with them and not forcing anyone to come to me.”
Nick Cannon And Mariah Carey children
On April 30, 2011, Cannon became a father for the first time when he and then-wife Mariah Carey welcomed twins Moroccan and Monroe Cannon, making them Tauruses. According to TODAY, Cannon explained the significance of their children’s names to E! News in 2011.
“Monroe, obviously, is named by Marilyn Monroe, who my wife has been inspired by and loved for many years,” Cannon said. “And my son, I love his name, we called him Moroccan. He needed a strong name … Roc Cannon.
“And,” he added, “you think about Moroccan and that’s kind of like my name and Mariah’s name phonetically together. I also proposed to my wife in our Moroccan room. There’s a lot of meanings to it. We put a lot of thought into those names.”
