Bre Tiesi is clearing up what coparenting looks like inside Nick Cannon’s famously large family, and her answer is refreshingly straightforward. In a new interview with E!, the Selling Sunset star, who shares 4-year-old son Legendary Love with Cannon, said she does not operate as one big parenting unit with the other mothers.“There is no we,”she put it, explaining that she stays cordial but keeps her distance, and that tension between the adults made closer relationships basically impossible.
Cannon has 12 children with six women, including Mariah Carey, Brittany Bell, Abby De La Rosa, LaNisha Cole and Alyssa Scott. Rather than forcing a collective dynamic, Tiesi says she’d rather remove herself from the equation so Legendary can build the strongest possible bond with his siblings. She also puts that responsibility on Cannon, describing him as a present father whose kids are his“entire life.”And if anyone wondered about more babies on her side, she shut that down fast: Legendary won’t be getting another sibling from her.
Fans have followed Cannon’s family dynamics for years, so Tiesi’s blunt take gives a rare window into how the moms actually navigate it all. She also has a new show, Special Forces, premiering September 24. So what do you think: is“there is no we”the healthiest approach to a giant blended family, or does it leave too much on the kids? Sound off in the comments.
