Television personality Nick Cannon shared a hilarious response to a post linking him to Kamala Harris' newborn tax credit. On Friday, August 16, 2024, Harris unveiled her economic agenda for the upcoming presidential election. The proposed policies included the elimination of medical debt, a $25,000 subsidy for first-time home buyers, and providing $6,000 per child to families for the first year of the baby's life.

Soon, the news went viral on social media with several users, including X user @unusual_whales, who referenced Cannon in their post. The host later took to his Instagram to quip:

"Leave me out of this! (laughing emoji)"

Nick himself is a father to 12 children from six women, including ex-wife Mariah Carey, Brittany Bel, Abby De La Rosa, Bre Tiesi, LaNisha Cole, and Alyssa Scott.


Nick Cannon welcomed his 12fth child, Halo Marie Cannon, on December 14, 2022

In a December 2022 interview on The Checkup with Dr. Agus, Nick Cannon explained that he loved his big family but added:

"Being a father of multiple kids, it's always the biggest guilt on me is that I don't get to spend enough time with all my children. One 'cause I'm constantly working and two because I'm just spread thin."

The host married Mariah Carey in April 2008 and split in 2014 after six years of marriage. They share twins, Moroccan and Monroe, born in April 2011. Despite their divorce, the pair maintain an amicable relationship, with Cannon telling PEOPLE in 2018 that their children come first.

Nick has credited his eldest, Monroe, with helping him through tough times, including the death of his son, Zen. In December 2021, he told PEOPLE:

"My daughter, really, she's so in tune and in line and wise beyond her years. I got a lot of therapists, but she's probably my best therapist."

The comedian welcomed son Golden Sagon with former Miss Arizona U.S.A. Brittany Bell in February 2017. In December 2020, Goldern became an elder brother to Powerful Queen.

The family welcomed Easter 2022 dressed in pastel outfits, with Nick dressed as the Easter Bunny. Bell later shared the photoshoot on her Instagram, stating:

"We had our eggs with CHEESE! The Bunny came with his best!! A day to Rise! The spirit of the Lord is in the atmosphere."

The pair also share a baby boy, Rise Messiah Cannon (baby No. 10), born in September 2022.

The Nick Cannon Mornings host welcomed boys Zion Mixolydian and Zillion Heir Cannon with model and DJ, Abby De La Rosa in June 2021. On the twins' first Halloween, they dressed up in Ghostbusters-themed costumes, with Zion and Zillion donning a Stay-Puft Marshmallow Men ones.

In April 2024, on World Autism Awareness Day, the pair revealed that Zion had been diagnosed with the disorder. They also share a third child, Beautiful Zeppelin Cannon (Baby No. 11), born in November 2022.

Just nine days after the birth of the twins, Nick Cannon welcomed Zen with model Alyssa Scott. However, he was diagnosed with high-grade gliomas, a rare and aggressive form of brain cancer. Zen, unfortunately, passed away in December 2021.

In a January 2022 episode of his eponymous talk show, Nick Cannon revealed he was expecting his eighth child with model Bre Tiesi.

Tiesi, in an interview with E! Daily Pop, later revealed she and Caonnon had been dating on and off for years. Their son, Legendary Love Cannon, was born in July 2022 via a natural home birth.

In September of the same year, he welcomed his daughter, Onyx Ice Cole Cannon, with former Price Is Right model LaNisha Cole. In May 2023, the host, during his appearance on The Jason Lee Podcast, revealed that Onyx was "probably the child that (he) spent the most time with." He added that he was with her three full days a week, adding that he and LaNisha share a strong co-parenting relationship.

In November 2022, Nick Cannon revealed in an Instagram post that he and Alyssa Scott were expecting their second child together (her third). His 12th child, Halo Marie Cannon, was born on December 14, 2022.

In January 2024, Nick Cannon told PEOPLE, he had "no plans" to have another child, adding, "It's so funny, everybody's always trying to get me to have more kids. It's like, 12 ain't enough?"
