How Many Kids Does Nick Cannon Have? A Detailed Look Into the Growing Family

Nick Cannon’s family tree continues to amaze many and disgust others. The question of how many kids does Nick Cannon have resurfaced thanks to a viral meme that jokingly predicted that the U.S. population will resemble Cannon by 2050.

On Nov. 11 the “Wild ’N Out” creator welcomed his 11th child, Beautiful Zeppelin Cannon, with public figure Abby De La Rosa. Cannon is also preparing for the birth of his child with former “Wild n Out” model Alyssa Scott, which would be his 12th.

First there’s iconic singing legend Mariah Carey, whom Cannon married in 2008 and later divorced in 2016. During their marriage Carey gifted Cannon his first set of twins back on April 30, 2011, Moroccan and Monroe Cannon, who are now 11 years old.

After his divorce, Cannon went on to date beauty pageant winner Brittany Bell. The two had a very on-again, off-again relationship and soon welcomed their first child together, Golden Cannon, in February 2017. In December 2020, Cannon and Bell welcomed their second child together, Cannon’s fourth, Powerful Queen.

Cannon was then blessed with his second set of twins, Zillion and Zion Cannon, on June 14, 2021 by the popular DJ De La Rosa.

Just nine days after Cannon’s second set of twins were born, he had to prepare himself for the birth of his son Zen — his seventh child — with model Alyssa Scott. However, no one could prepare Cannon for the heartbreaking road he was going to face after Zen’s birth. 

Zen subsequently was revealed to be battling brain cancer, which ended in the infant’s death last December. While hosting his daytime TV show “The Nick Cannon Show,” Cannon revealed that he and Alyssa Scott’s child succumbed to his battle and passed away at only five months old. 

In an interview with Angela Yee, Cannon revealed he reached a point of depression after the loss of his son which prompted him “f—–g like crazy.”

His priapism was definitely made known in late July of this year after news broke that Cannon and real estate agent Bre Tiesi had welcomed a baby boy, Legendary Cannon, on June 28, Cannon’s eighth child.

On Sept. 14, Cannon revealed he and “The Price Is Right” model Lanisha Cole welcomed their first child together, Onyx Ice Cole, Cannon’s ninth.

Not too long after Cannon and Cole’s announcement, the actor surprised fans once again by welcoming his and Bell’s third child together, Rise Messiah Cannon, making that his tenth baby.

Altogether that makes Cannon father eleven kids by six women with his twelfth on the way. 

Cannon’s family tree might be too much for some, but the ladies apart have had nothing short of positive things to say about Cannon’s fatherhood. Cannon now has 10 children and one on the way. One son died in December 2021.

Independent journalism still matters.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
