During a recent interview with Entertainment Tonight, Cannon spoke about parenthood and answered the question: Is he done having kids?
“Yeah, yeah, yeah,” Cannon, who welcomed his 12th child in December, told the outlet with a laugh. Then he added, “God decides when we’re done, but I believe I definitely got my hands full and I’m so focused. I’m locked in. But when I’m 85, you never know. I might.”
During the interview, he also called fatherhood a “blessing,” adding, “Hopefully because of what I am able to do, my kids can do whatever they want to do.”
“To be able to be in this position that if they want to be a nuclear physicist, I know somebody at an Ivy League school,” he continued. “If they want to go into the military, if they want to be artists, if they want to be actors, it’s a thing where we have the capability. Let’s start talking about it now so we can help your dreams come true.”
In November, Cannon gave a similar answer, telling Billboard News “I don’t know,” when asked if was planning on having more children.
“I have no idea. I think I’m good right now!” he said, adding that his children are his “number one priority” at the moment. “I wake up being a father, thinking about my kids and everything else comes after that.”
