Nick Cannon is a father to 12 children, whom he shares with six different women. Cannon does not just enjoy having kids; he is also fond of the process of making them. After separating from his wife, Mariah Carey, in 2014, the Wild ‘N Out host went on to expand his family with different women.

The baby machine, Nick Cannon, doesn’t make kids by mistake; rather, he has a major purpose behind impregnating several women. Cannon was diagnosed with a disease, following which his perception of life completely changed.

What inspires Nick Cannon to expand his family?

Being a father to 12 children is a task full of responsibilities. Yet, it seems like Nick Cannon really enjoys having kids. Most importantly, what he enjoys, even more, is the process of making kids. This may seem like a happy mistake to some, but it is a planned process for Cannon.

Back in 2012, Cannon was diagnosed with an autoimmune disease called lupus. It is a chronic disease with no cure, and its symptoms include fatigue, fever, joint pain, stiffness, and swelling.

Ever since he was diagnosed with the disease, Cannon’s perspective on life has drastically changed. What was affected the most was his point of view on his personal life. Cannon started enjoying the momentary things in life to the fullest, as you never know when the end is near. During an interview, Cannon said,

“I’m probably gonna die sooner than most people. So let’s f*ck all night! So why wear condoms? I might not be here tomorrow.”

The Drumline actor explained during his radio show that he does not simply risk it by not wearing a condom; he has a purpose behind doing so. He said,

“I’m having these kids on purpose. I don’t have no accident. Trust me, there’s a lot of people that I could’ve gotten pregnant that I didn’t. The ones that got pregnant are the ones that were supposed to get pregnant.”

Today, Nick Cannon has a vast family with six different women, and he aspires to expand his family.

Does Nick Cannon’s disease affect his children’s health?

Nick Cannon separated from Mariah Carey in 2014, ending their six-year relationship. Soon after his divorce from Carey, Cannon went on to expand his family and became known as a baby machine. Cannon shares two non-identical twins with his ex-wife.

Apart from her, the 42-year-old host shares kids with five other women, including model Brittany Bell, radio personality Abby De La Rosa, model and influencer Alyssa Scott, star of Selling Sunset Bre Tiesi, and model and actress LaNisha Cole.

It has been a decade since Cannon was diagnosed with lupus. And during that period, he fathered many children. Following this, the television show host has been concerned that his children may suffer from it as well.

Luckily, lupus is not a hereditary disease, so it won’t be passed on to his children. However, there is a chance that some genes could pass down to his children, which may increase their chances of getting lupus.

But Cannon has always been cautious about his children’s health and is vigilant for any signs of the disease.
