Abby De La Rosa may share multiple children with former Wild ’N Out star Nick Cannon, but the DJ isn’t breaking bread– or even communicating– with the father of 12’s five other baby mamas, despite their kids maintaining a close relationship with one another.
During a recent interview on the Lovers by Shan podcast, Abby confirmed to host Shan Boodram Brady that her and Nick’s three children– twin sons Zion and Zillion and daughter Beautiful Zeppelin– know their other siblings, as well as their siblings’ mothers. Abby, however, does not have a relationship with the other kids’ mothers.
For those in need of a refresher on the Cannon Kid Count, in addition to the three kids he shares with Abby, The Masked Singer host is a father of 14-year-old twins Moroccan and Monroe with ex-wife Mariah Carey. He also shares eight-year-old son Golden Saigon, five-year-old daughter Powerful Queen and three-year-old son Rise Messiah with model Brittany Bell; two-year-old Legendary Love with Selling Sunset star Bre Tiesi; three-year-old Onyx Ice with model LaNisha Cole; and three-year-old Halo Marie with model Alyssa Scott. (Nick and Alyssa are also parents to son Zen, who died from a brain tumor at five months old in 2021.)
“When you see the kids all together, which I’ve been very, very blessed to experience that numerous and numerous of times, it really is like, ‘OK, my ego can’t win in this, [the kids] deserve to know each other,’” Abby said of Nick’s children having access to one another.
While Abby insists that Nick and the mothers of his kids have managed to create “a really beautiful dynamic,” she said that closeness doesn’t exist between the mothers themselves.
“ … there’s a beautiful aspect to it, especially when you see the kids,” Abby said. “Now, as for the mothers? Don’t know. We don’t have any communication with each other, like, we all live very separate lives and we’re all very individualized. There’s never no family gatherings or Sunday dinners and things … .”
Instead of getting everyone together as one big family, Abby said Nick “calls the shots” and will ask if he can bring certain kids over for play dates with his other children, at which point the parents involved and/or nannies will work to accommodate their time together. According to her, this has not only resulted in all parties being “pretty happy,” it also provides her with a sense of monogamy.
“We all live very individual lives, so in a sense, it feels monogamous,” she explained.
Later in the podcast, Abby spoke more about Nick’s romantic relationships, noting that, like Nick, she isn’t focused on putting “labels” on their relationship. While Abby said she somewhat agrees with those who have speculated that Nick is “polyamorous”– aka someone who has multiple romantic relationships with the consent of all of those involved– she claims Nick doesn’t consider himself that.
As for how she explains Nick’s unique family dynamic to their three children, Abby said she’s also chosen to forgo labels in that department.
“ … that’s also what I have chosen to teach my kids is, ‘Daddy loves many people, daddy has a lot of love to give, that’s just who daddy is,’” she said.

You know, I am definitely disgusted by Nick, but more so with these women/mothers. They are delusional. I feel like Abby and Bre especially, really believe they have like, this relationship or something special/unique with Nick. They are SO desperate to be with him that they not only continue to be/sleep with him even though he’s clearly sleeping/seeing others, they tell themselves his behavior is normal and they tell themselves that the arrangement going on is… normal. It’s not at all. Plus, he clearly is not using protection with these women and clearly slept/is sleeping with them at the same time without using protection… are they not worried about an STD?! I dunno… He’s not that great IMO- I don’t get how he’s managed to continue on like he has. I really felt bad for Alyssa Scott after baby Zen died- thinking she must have felt so alone while Nick was out/slept with these other women while she grieved the loss of their son, but then she went on to have ANOTHER baby by him and the feeling of sympathy diminished dramatically because clearly it doesn’t bother her that during a time where he should have been grieving and being supportive towards her, he couldn’t even keep it in his pants. He better hope he continues to get work because god damn that is a lot of potential child support!
Ew.
Well the kids are all toddlers.
None are making plans to meet and connect on their own.
Give it time. Once the gravy train runs out, folks will be forced to leave LA for greener pastures and we’ll see who stays close to whom.
Disgusting. You are ok with that man raw dogging multiple women and for what? Are you getting paid? What do you get out of this? Aside from 3 kids with ridiculous names (chosen by him, no doubt, considering all his kids have absurd names)
Gross. Hopefully no more babies and bay mamas for that pig (no offense to pigs).
Male Kail, but since Kail is a woman, she couldn’t be pregnant simultaneously by different men. Although there are extremely rare cases of twins having separate fathers if the timing aligned 🤔
