Father of twelve: Nick Cannon celebrates more than one Thanksgiving

For Nick Cannon (44), there is more than just a holiday meal on Thanksgiving. The comedian has already had twelve children with six women. He revealed: “It’s very complicated. I’m a busy man on Thanksgiving.”

As he explained, he had to attend a “series of meals.” Afterwards he will be “completely full”, but a different dish awaits him in every house. While one meal might feature “a great fried turkey,” another might serve a good sweet potato pie.

If the actor visits each of his children and (ex-)partners on the holiday, six Thanksgiving dinners await him. Cannon shares twins Moroccan and Monroe (13) with his ex-wife Mariah Carey (55). The model Brittany Bell (37) gave birth to his two sons Golden Sagon (7) and Rise Messiah (2) and his daughter Powerful Queen (3). The presenter has twins Zion and Zillion (3) and daughter Beautiful Zeppelin (2) with DJ Abby De La Rosa (34).

His former girlfriend Alyssa Scott gave him daughter Halo Marie (1) and son Zen, who died of a brain tumor at five months. “Selling Sunset” star Bre Tiesi (33) and Cannon share their son Legendary Love (2). The two have had an on-off relationship for several years. He had daughter Onyx Ice (2) with model LaNisha Cole (42).

Before Cannon enjoys time with his loved ones, he attended an event hosted by the Los Angeles Mission charity, according to People. With celebrities such as “Magic Mike” actor Joe Manganiello (47) and reality TV star Tom Sandoval (42), he distributed food and clothing to those in need. They also received “free haircuts, manicures and pedicures”.

Cannon said his grandmother inspired him to do good. For him, this is “the best thing about every holiday.” He further explained, “When you reach a point where you have more fun helping and doing something for others, then you have reached the pinnacle of what life is all about.”
