Last year, Nick Cannon decided that he was going to become the world’s most infamous baby daddy. He gave up on the idea of having just one partner and, instead, shared his love and his super sperm with several women, who don’t seem to mind the arrangement.
In 2021 he welcomed three babies, born just 9 days apart.
Prior to his Year of Impregnanation, Nick also shares several other offspring with different women, including two with Mariah Carey and two with Brittney Bell.Â
In total, at the end of 2021, Nick had seven kids with four different mums. We’ll get to the details shortly.
And babies make 12
Then came 2022 when he decided to smash his old super-sperm record and go for Baby Daddy gold. And that he did.
So far Nick has welcomed four more children to his collection (kids #8, 9,10 and 11) and he’s expecting baby # 12 soon.
All to the same mum? No. Of course not. There are five different mums.
So let’s meet them, shall we?
Nick Cannon’s kids and family treeÂ
It all starts with Mariah Carey, who was married to Nick back in the day. They welcomed a set of twins Moroccan and Monroe, now 11.
Next, we have four-year-old Golden Sagon, born in 2017, with model Brittany Bell. Brittany and Nick also welcomed their second child together, a girl named Powerful Queen, in December 2020.
Just to recap – we’re at four kids in 2020. But here’s where it starts to get confusing…
The 2021 Babies
Zion and Zillion Heir
In 2021, Nick added three more kids to his crew, all with Z names. On June 14th he and a woman named Abby De La Rosa welcomed twin boys – Zion Mixolydian and Zillion Heir.
Zen Cannon
Then 9 days later, his other model girlfriend, Alyssa Scott welcomed another boy, Zen S. Cannon. Tragically Zen died of a brain tumour at just five months old.
The 2022 Nick Cannon babies
Legendary Cannon
His son’s death obviously devasted Nick and he was worried about announcing any more baby news in the wake of this tragedy. And so he waited for a few months before announcing that he was expecting another son with another girlfriend – Bree Tiesi.Â
They named him Legendary Cannon and he was born in July 2022.
Onyx Ice Cole Cannon
On Sept 14 2022, Nick and another girlfriend, Lanisha Cole, welcomed a little girl – Onyx Ice Cole Cannon. Onyx is Cannon’s ninth child but his first with Lanisha Cole.
Okay, now we’re getting to the really confusing bit.
Rise Messiah Cannon
Nick recently welcomed his 10th child, a boy named Rise Messiah Cannon, with Brittney Bell. Brittney is also Golden and Powerful’s mum, so this is her third child with Nick.
Beautiful Zeppelin Cannon
But it’s not over yet. Remember Abby de la Rosa? She’s Zillion Heir and Zion’s mum. Well, she and Cannon just had a third together too, named Beautiful Zeppelin Cannon.
Baby #12 coming soon
Finally, we’ve got Alyssa Scott’s new bundle of joy (she’s Zen’s mum). She is also expecting and has confirmed Nick is the father again.
Phew…
Nick Cannon’s kids’ names
NOW… we cannot possibly have a post on Nick Cannon’s kids and NOT comment on the absolutely bizarre baby names he’s gone with. I mean, there are over-the-top names, and then there are Nick Cannon baby names.
- Moroccan and Monroe (Roc and Roe) – When Nick’s first pair of twins were born, I remember thinking these names were pretty out there. But hey, compared to what’s to come, these are about as tame as it gets.
- Golden Sagon, Powerful Queen and Rise Messiah – The trio he shares with Brittney Bell wins the award for the most superior names out there. SIDE NOTE: Most of these names are actually banned in Australia as you can’t name your kids “titles” such as Messiah and Queen.
- Zion Mixolydian and Zillion Heir, plus Baby #3 name to be confirmed – I’ll bet Nick’s left nut that they will opt for a Z name. Like Zoolander or some shit.
- Zen S. – Rest in peace little man. His name is the best out of all of them.
- Legendary Love – I mean, you’d hate for the kid to end up being just average when he grows up.
- Onyx Ice Cole – Possibly the most normal out of all the names, Onyx is a gemstone and means “nail, claw.”
- Beautiful Zeppelin – He really loves the adjectives doesn’t he?
Nick’s always been very open and vocal about his unusual partner situation and, while it’s easy to judge, he seems to be happy with his family situation and the array of newborns he visits. His Insta is chock-full of happy snaps of his children.
We’re not sure if they have a baby schedule, if there’s a Cannon commune somewhere in LA where they live together, or if Nick just goes from home to home, bringing nappies, formula, and, of course, his super sperm. But hey, if it works for them and everyone is happy, healthy, fed, and loved, then we’re happy for them.
Haters gonna hate, Nick’s gonna procreate. But perhaps just lay off the weirdo baby names…
Place your bets on how many Cannon offspring are coming in 2023. My money’s on 4.
