Nick Cannon Names Bre Tiesi as the One Who Understands Him Most, and Says He's Never Getting Married Again

Nick Cannon is opening up about his love life in a brand new Us Weekly cover story, and his comments about Bre Tiesi are getting a lot of attention. The 45-year-old host and comedian said he doesn’t rank his children’s mothers, but when pressed on who understands him best, he named Tiesi, calling her his twin flame and a ride or die. Tiesi, 35, shares 4-year-old son Legendary with Cannon, and she’s been just as complimentary about him, calling him the best man, partner, and father in a Father’s Day tribute.

Cannon also revisited his relationship history, which includes kids with Brittany Bell, Abby De La Rosa, LaNisha Cole, Alyssa Scott, and ex-wife Mariah Carey. He said he and Mariah remain amicable, something a lot of people can relate to in blended family situations. But the most talked-about comment? He said he will never marry again, simply because he doesn’t like the government in his love life. No heartbreak story, no bitter ex energy. Just a strong opinion about paperwork.

For a guy with six kids’moms and a Wild‘N Out tour on the way, Cannon clearly has a system that works for him, or at least one he’s willing to defend publicly. Whether you think his approach is refreshingly honest or total chaos, the conversation about marriage, commitment, and non-traditional relationships isn’t going anywhere.

So what do you think? Does skipping marriage mean a relationship isn’t real commitment, or can you be all in without a ring? Tell us in the comments.
