Cannon is expecting his eighth child after girlfriend Bre Tiesi announced she was pregnant in January.
“Contrary to popular belief, I’m probably engaged throughout my children’s day, more often than the average adult can be,” he told the magazine. “If I’m not physically in the same city with my kids, I’m talking to them before they go to school via FaceTime and stuff. And then when I am [in the same city, I’m] driving my kids to school, like making sure I pick ’em up. All of those things, making sure [I’m there for] all extracurricular activities.
The host of “Wild 'N Out” said that there is “a lot of toxicity” in a “traditional household” setting, saying, “It’s not about what society deems is right. It’s like, what makes it right for you? What brings your happiness? What allows you to have joy and how you define family? We all define family in so many different ways.”
Earlier in the interview, the 41-year-old talked about his love for his children and answered a question that many people have been asking in his life. “People even often ask, ‘Are you gonna have more, you gonna stop?’” he said. “I’m like, those are questions that I don’t, I don’t really even sit around and think about. I’m just walking in my purpose and trying to be the best father and best provider I could possibly be.”
