- Nick Cannon has an impressive brood at this point and shows no signs of stopping. The TV personality claims every one of them as intentional telling Power 106 radio last July that he “don’t have no accident[s]” and in July 2022 said it’s “safe to bet” he’s going to father 3 children within the year. Cannon went on to welcome son Legendary and daughter Onyx with Bre Tiesi and Lanisha Cole, respectively. In June 2022, Abby De La Rosa, who already shares twins with Cannon, revealed she is expecting another child. Two months later, Cannon confirmed Brittany Bell, with whom he shares two kids, is also expecting their third child.
