Nick Cannon has expressed his deep happiness with his children from his relationship with Mariah Carey, stating that he would like to have “three more” if the opportunity arises. The former couple, who were married from 2008 to 2016, are the parents of twins Moroccan and Monroe, who are now 15 years old.
On the “Club Shay Shay” podcast, which aired on Wednesday, April 29, Cannon, 45, shared his thoughts on the subject. “If Mariah wants another, I’m givin’ her three more,” he said. “We’re going all the way in. The Cannon-Carey starting five, let’s go!”
Nick Cannon and Mariah Carey Originally Wanted a Boy and a Girl
The actor, who has 12 children with six different women, mentioned that having more kids wasn’t part of their original plans. “We didn’t even talk about it,” he revealed. “What we always talked about was having twins. Not necessarily twins. We wanted a boy and a girl. They just came as a blessing as twins. I think that was the traditional nuclear family. Boy, girl, dog, happy household. We didn’t ever really talk about more after that. We were happy just with Roc and Roe.”

Looking back, Carey, now 57, was clearly his true love. “I mean, that was my wife,” he said on the podcast. “That was literally my dream girl, and then the fact that we still have such a great relationship to this day. I don’t think you can compare her to anybody else. I mean, I believe I was truly in love with her, and will always be in love with her.”
