Nick Cannonis being honest about his plans for fatherhood.
During CNN’s broadcast ofNew Year’s Eve Livein Times Square,Andy Cohenasked theMasked Singerhost about an “endgame” when it comes to having more children, joking that Cannon, 42, appears to be “single-handedly repopulating the Earth” after the birth of his12th child, a girl born Dec. 14 to modelAlyssa Scott.
“What is your plan?” Cohen wanted to know.
“Clearly, I don’t have a plan,” Cannon replied. “Honestly man, it’s just so much joy and elation that I have, the family that I have, and I embrace it. I love it, and I don’t have a plan. That should have been clear from the jump.”
Cohen, who was hosting the live show with CNN’sAnderson Cooper, asked a follow-up question: “A vasectomy?
“Is that what you want me to get?” Cannon said. “It’s my body, my choice.”
Cooper then asked Cannon if he had advice for “any new fathers out there.”
“Just operate out of love,” Cannon said. “I mean some people may say that’s what got us here in the first place, but that’s what I would always do, and always do it with a smile.”
When the conversation turned to New Year’s resolutions for 2023, Cannon told the hosts he doesn’t make any.
“Like I said, I’m just so happy for health, and want to continue to be as healthy and filled with as much gratitude as possible for the next year,” he said.

But he has also expressed some regret for adownside to having a big family.
“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,” Cannon admitted during an episode ofThe Checkup with Dr. Aguson Paramount+.
Scheduling, he added, can be challenging. “One ‘cause I’m constantly working, and two because I’m just spread thin.”
