Nick Cannon’s family tree: TV host has 12 children but who are his six baby mommas including Mariah Carey?

At the Oscars 2023, host Jimmy Kimmel joked, “Disney spent $2 billion on this movie, and just to break even, all of Nick Cannon’s kids had to see ‘Avatar’ four times,” referencing the Masked Singer host and his 12 children.

The 42-year-old TV personality has drawn significant media attention over the past few years for fathering a number of children with different partners after his divorce with Mariah Carey was settled in 2016.

In fact, Nick revealed in a Vanity Fair article last November that he spends ‘a lot more’ than $3 million a year on child support - a mere drop in the ocean of his $20 million net worth.

However, fans were confused when Nick called himself ‘the provider’ to his dozen offspring when he confessed he didn’t give his baby mommas a monthly allowance or a ‘set amount of money’. Instead, Nick clarified that he gives them ‘what they need’ when talking to Page Six. 

In light of this, PeopleWorld looks at who Nick Cannon’s six baby mommas are:

Mariah Carey

Nick Cannon was married to the self-proclaimed ‘Queen of Christmas’ Mariah Carey from 2008 until 2016, when their divorce was settled after two years.

The couple share fraternal twins Moroccan and Monroe Cannon who were born in April 2011, who have been seen performing with their mother on stage. 

Brittany Bell

Brittany Bell is a model and beauty pageant titleholder who was crowned both Miss Guam and Miss Universe in 2014.

Brittany has three children with Nick Cannon, namely a son called Golden in 2017, a daughter called Powerful Queen who was born the following year and then their second son named Rise Messiah born last September.

Alyssa Scott

Within just over a year, model Alyssa Scott and Nick Cannon became parents to two children - a son being born in June 2021 before they welcomed their second child, a daughter, in December 2022.

Their second pregnancy came after their first child Zen passed away at five months old following a battle with brain cancer, therefore the couple named their second baby Halo as it was a ‘miracle and blessing;.

Abby De La Rosa

Nick Cannon has fathered two pairs of twins, the first with Mariah Carey and then the second with DJ and former radio personality Abby De La Rosa.

Abby and Nick revealed their twin sons Zion and Zillion had been born in June 2021 with Abby posting on Instagram: “My son-shines, Zion and Zillion Cannon. I adore you.”

Bre Tiesi

Nick’s eighth child came after model and Selling Sunset star Bre Tiesi gave birth to a boy called Legendary Love in June 2022.

Legendary was born after Nick had briefly pursued celibacy in late 2021 following the death of his son Zen.

LaNisha Cole

In the same month that Nick and Brittany Bell welcomed Rise Messiah to the world, model LaNisha Cole also gave birth to Nick’s 12th child Onyx Ice Cole Cannon.

LaNisha made a name for herself as one of the rotating models on The Price is Right, being a part of the American TV show in both the Bob Barker and Drew Carey eras.
