It goes without saying that Nick Cannon has a lot of kids. A lot. And some might assume that perhaps he has more than even he can keep up with. But apparently, he has a system to how he manages spending time with them. In a recent interview, he offered some insight.
In an interview with People, Nick shared that he doesn't see a point in trying to get all of his kids together to hang out at once. He furthered his point by saying that he believes the only person to benefit from having them all in the same space would be himself.
"I actually love stepping into their world — going to their sports games or giving them their personal time for the holidays — so I have no problem with bouncing around," Nick shared. He insinuated that he would rather not force them to come to him.

"It works to be able to take the time trying to go to them and show the value of being with them and not forcing anyone to come to me," Nick shared. But even then, he also carries a load of guilt for not having enough time to spend with his kids.
This came about during the time he was expecting his 12th child. On The Checkup With Dr. Agus on Paramount+ he shared how constantly working and being spread thin takes him away from the time he could be spending with his kids.
"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," he said. At the time, he had recently lost a son to cancer at 5 months old.
Nick shares twins with ex-wife Mariah Carey, three kids with Brittany Bell, one child with Bre Tiesi, one kid with LaNisha Cole, twins and a daughter with Abby De La Rosa, and then one living child and a deceased son with Alyssa Scott.
Nick has previously shared that having kids with the women he's had them with is very intentional. During his talk show with guests City Girls, he shared, “I’m having these kids on purpose. It ain’t no accident!”
He went on to say that as time goes on, he believes that the arrangement of how he spends time with his kids will change. "I think as everyone probably gets older, and even as I slow down a little bit more, I'm sure everyone will start coming to me in one place."
