American TV Personality Nick Cannon doesn’t think monogamy is “healthy”.
The 41-year-old star – who has twins Moroccan and Monroe, 10, with ex-wife Mariah Carey, four-year-old Golden and 13-month-old Powerful Queen with Brittany Bell, seven-month-old twins Zion and Zillion with Abby de la Rosa and had a son Zen, who tragically died of brain cancer in December aged just five months, with Alyssa Scott – is expecting his eighth child with model Bre Tiesi, and he has opened up about his outlook on relationships.
Appearing on Dr. Lura Berman’s ‘The Language of Love’ podcast, he said: “I don’t feel like monogamy is healthy. I feel like that gets into the space of selfishness and ownership.”
While Nick isn’t looking for new romances, he admitted sometimes “it happens”.
He added: “I don’t have the bandwidth for it anymore though, because I feel like I do owe all the women that are currently in my life… at least as much energy, time and effort as I possibly could—and specifically my kids more than anything.”
The ‘Masked Singer US’ host discussed co-parenting and admitted “some” of his children’s mothers handled the situation “better than others”.

He explained: “I think they’re all confident and secure in themselves to even have to deal with a person like me.
“None of them have problems with each other. They’re such strong willed women that they’re not worried.”
And when it comes to ex wife Mariah – whom he was married to from 2008 to 2016 – Nick revealed she has taught him a lot of important lessons.
He said: “Obviously, Mariah and I co-parent really well… We’re really great friends and she’s kind of taught me so much – so that’s family.”
Meanwhile, Nick was relieved when he found out Kevin Hart was behind the condom vending machine he received as part of their ongoing prank war.
