Christmas with the Cannons: How does Nick Cannon celebrate the holidays with his 11 children?
Nick Cannon has dabbled in music, acting, and comedy, and is currently the host of the popular show, ‘The Masked Singer.’ He is also a proud father to 12 children with 6 different partners.
December must be a complicated time for the artist. How will he manage to see all his children and their mothers during the holidays?
During last year’s holiday season, Cannon made sure to find time to spend with all of his children. He told TMZ that because of his overnight travels, he has ‘the same vibe as Santa Claus.’
Between a busy work schedule and being the father of 11 children, Nick Cannon will undoubtedly need to keep to a tight schedule to make the magic happen.
Nick Cannon became a father in 2011 when Mariah gave birth to their fraternal twins, Moroccan and Monroe.
Unfortunately, the couple divorced in 2016 but have been co-parenting their children amicably ever since.
While Nick has been married only once, he has had many romantic partners. Brittany Bell is a beauty pageant winner, dancer, and model. She and Nick Cannon have been in an on-again, off-again relationship over the years.
Brittany and Nick welcomed their first child together, a son named ‘Golden Sagon Cannon,’ in February 2017.
The pair became parents again in 2020 when they welcomed their first daughter, ‘Powerful Queen Cannon.’
In September 2022, baby ‘Rise Messiah Cannon’ was born to Brittany and Nick. That makes baby number three for this couple.

Having fathered 12 children with 6 different partners, with 9 of these children born in the last 3 years, it is natural to wonder whether Nick Cannon is done with babies.
People Magazine asked Cannon in February 2023 whether he was done having more children. He responded with, “Yeah, yeah, yeah,” but then added, “God decides when we’re done, but I believe I definitely got my hands full.”
