Nick Cannon’s Twins: How They Feel About Their Many Siblings

Nick Cannon is opening up about how his oldest children feel about their ten other siblings. In a new interview, Cannon, 42, shared what his 11-year-old twins, Moroccan and Monroe -- whom he shares with ex-wife Mariah Carey -- think about their half-siblings.

"At this point, they enjoy it," Cannon said. "They have fun and they’re the oldest." The twins will celebrate their 12th birthday on April 30. The Masked Singer host adds, "But who knows where that will go when 16 hits?"

Speaking about his firstborns, the television personality said that they are now having "real conversations. Because, you know, their lives are far from normal. Their mom is one of the biggest entertainers to ever live and their dad is me." However, the proud dad said of his twins, "They’re so intelligent, they’re so in tune with their own values," and because of this, they've started to "have challenging conversations sometimes."

These challenging conversations are about their siblings and controversies that have swirled around Cannon over the past decade. "One thing they do know is that dad f----s up," Cannon said. "[They know] Dad makes mistakes."

Apart from his twins with Carey, Cannon also shares Rise, 5 months, Powerful, 2, and Golden, 6, with Brittany Bell; Beautiful, 3 months, and Zion and Zillion, both 1, with Abby De La Rosa; Halo, 2 months, and the late Zen with Alyssa Scott; Legendary, 7 months, with Bre Tiesi; Onyx, 5 months, with LaNisha Cole.

When asked if he had any more plans for children soon, Cannon said he had no idea what the future may hold in the long run. Despite constant criticism and concern about meeting the basic needs of his 12 kids, he finds himself more than capable to balance his family commitments. "I think I’m a man of abundance," Cannon said. "Everything is challenging, but the fact that I get to see all my children in one day, and get to see them each and every day when I’m in town, even when I’m not in town, I take them with me. I love the challenge."

Nick Cannon has expanded his family yet again. Now, we knew he was expecting his ninth and tenth children with Abby De La Rosa and Brittany Bell, respectively. Apparently, he also had one on the way with model Lanisha Cole. It was speculated that Lanisha was pregnant with Nick's child but the news was never confirmed by either parent.

Nick announced the news on his IG with the comment: "Introducing ONYX ICE COLE CANNON. Once again Today I am in Awe of the Devine Feminine! God has given me and @MissLanishaCole the privilege of hosting an Angel here on earth. I vow to protect, provide, guide and love this child to the best of my abilities. I promise to love this little girl with all my heart, regardless what anyone says…I’ve given up on attempting to define myself for the world or society but instead I’m doing the work to heal and grow into the infinite Being God ordained me to be. Hopefully I can teach Onyx the same, to not let others shame or ridicule her with their outside opinions, because when they do they are only projecting their own harsh experiences, pain and social programming onto her unblemished beauty." Nick even went on to defend Lanisha, saying "[Lanisha] is one of the most guileless, peaceful and nonconfrontational kind souls I’ve ever witnessed, and only deserves to revel in this moment of blissful joy of motherhood. Please give her that. She is so loving and pure hearted."

Onyx Ice Cole Cannon is now Nick's ninth child. As mentioned, he is still expecting two more children (that we know of). Are you having a hard time keeping up with all of his kids, and who he had them with? No problem: we're here to help. Check out our timeline below.
