Why Nick Cannon Hopes His Daughters Won't Date Men Like Him
In a candid revelation, Nick Cannon has spoken earnestly about his newfound understanding of love and accountability as a father to his five daughters. As stated in Baller Alert, while promoting his upcoming late-night show, Cannon shared with Extra’s Mona Kosar Abdi how his past relationship experiences have led him to reconsider his role as a father and partner.
A Father’s Realization
During the conversation, Cannon emphasized the impact of his lifestyle on his daughters, saying, “When you have five daughters, you want to at least be able to be true and honest. But I can’t live the same life that I’ve always been living.” His words reflect a profound awareness of the need to guide his daughters away from the same mistakes he made, hoping they won’t date men like him.
Life Lessons and Growth
Cannon, who is notably the father of 12 children with six women, including celebrated pop icon Mariah Carey, acknowledges his journey isn’t one he’d wish on his daughters. With a family that includes twins Moroccan and Monroe, and others with partners like Brittany Bell and Alyssa Scott, Cannon has learned valuable lessons he wants to pass on.
Facing Heartbreak and Hope
The tragedy of losing his son, Zen, to brain cancer in 2021, has been another pivotal moment in Cannon’s life, making his appreciation for family and life even more poignant. His youngest, Halo Marie, born with Alyssa Scott, brought new hope and reinforced his commitment to being the best father possible.
A Change in Direction
Earlier this year, Cannon confided to PEOPLE about pressing pause on expanding his family further. “I love children. I love my life, but having 12 kids was never in the plans,” he remarked, hinting at a desire for stability and a more straightforward path for himself and his children.
Moving Forward with Accountability
Cannon’s reflections are a powerful reminder of the importance of growth, accountability, and striving to be better for the ones we love. His message, filled with sincere introspection, is one of hope that his daughters will seek partners who embody the lessons he’s learned through his life’s journey.
