Nick Cannon discusses fatherhood, speaking openly about his struggles and more in a candid new interview with Men’s Health. The TV host tells the magazine of being an open book when it comes to discussing his struggles with grief, depression, and accountability: “I’ve lived my life in the public eye in a way where it’s very authentic. “I kind of put it all out there.
All my emotions, all my understanding or the lack thereof, as vulnerable as I could be—I’m just like, ‘Look, I’m trying to figure it out.’” READ MORE: Nick Cannon Says He Feels Guilt For Not Spending Enough Time With Late Son Zen Cannon, who shares seven children with five different women (with another baby on the way), takes immense pride in fatherhood. “Contrary to popular belief, I’m probably engaged throughout my children’s day, more often than the average adult can be.
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,” he says. “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. I’m involved in everything from coaching to having guitar lessons with my daughter every week.” Cannon shares 11-year-old twins Moroccan and Monroe with ex-wife Mariah Carey.
