Nick Cannon is doing the most, and somehow it’s still working. The 45-year-old host, comedian and rapper is a father to 12 children with six different women, and he’s about to take Wild‘N Out on an arena tour in 2026 while a Netflix docuseries about his family life lands this winter. If anyone has earned the right to be tired, it’s him.
He’s also not sugarcoating it. Cannon says the balancing act is tough, but he wouldn’t trade it, crediting his chaotic, joyful family life and twice-daily workouts for helping him manage lupus, which he was diagnosed with in 2012. The upcoming doc will dig into his consensual non-monogamy and co-parenting with Mariah Carey, Bre Tiesi, Brittany Bell, Abby De La Rosa, LaNisha Cole and Alyssa Scott. He also opened up about the loss of his son Zen in 2021, whose memory the family honors through Zen’s Light.
Cannon has been a pop culture staple for two decades, and this next chapter might be his most personal yet. So we want to know, would you watch a docuseries about his family life, or is it already too much? Sound off in the comments.
