Dad of 12 Nick Cannon teases he 'might' have more kids as he admits letting 'God decide'

The Masked Singer host Nick Cannon hasn’t ruled out having more kids, saying he’ll let "God decide" - despite welcoming a dozen children into the world.

The 42-year-old admitted 'having his hands full' with his existing off-spring, even though he isn't the primary caregiver for any of his children.

Nick is the father of 11-year-old twins Monroe and Moroccan with ex-wife Mariah Carey. He is also dad to 10 other children with five other women in what he calls 'consensual non-monogamy'.

Speaking to Entertainment Tonight, he said: "God decides when we're done." Before adding: "I'm locked in. But when I'm 85, you never know. I might."

Announcing his views on YouTube in June he explained: "People like to classify what I do as polyamory or polygamy, but even that, I always say to define me is to confine me."

And giving advice to parents he explains his secret: "Everybody thinks it's time management. It's energy management."

But although his view on recreating is way beyond the realms of 'conventional', the actor admits 'being on the same page' as the mother's of his children helps them to 'be the best parents we could possibly be' .

The producer, who reportedly pays $3million a year in child support, also says his children are his motivation for his work and admits he's excited about being able to offer them a future where they can pursue their passions, whatever they may be.

He added: ''Let's start talking about it now so we can help your dreams come true.''

He has also fathered two children with Alyssa Scott — son Zen, who died at five months old in December 2021 after being diagnosed with brain cancer, and later welcomed his 'miracle' daughter Halo Marie.

Cannon has previously poked fun at his "big a-- family" in a spoof holiday shopping advert.

But when he's not 'feeling guilty' about 'spreading himself to thin' parenting, he's set to kick off his Future Superstar Tour at the famed Wiltern Theater in Los Angeles.
