Nick Cannon has 12 children with 6 different women, often referred to online as his “baby mamas.” These women are Mariah Carey, Brittany Bell, Abby De La Rosa, Alyssa Scott, Bre Tiesi and LaNisha Cole.

Main list: who they are

  • Mariah Carey – Singer and Nick’s ex‑wife; mother of twins Moroccan and Monroe, born in 2011. They were married from 2008 to 2016 and co‑parent their twins.
  • Brittany Bell – Model and former Miss Arizona USA; she and Nick share three kids: Golden (2017), Powerful Queen (2020) and Rise Messiah (2022). Their children arrived before and during the main “baby boom” years that made his family life a trending topic.
  • Abby De La Rosa – DJ and broadcast professional; she is the mother of twins Zion and Zillion (2021) and daughter Beautiful Zeppelin (2022). Her twin pregnancy announcement and later third baby with Nick were widely discussed across social media and entertainment news.
  • Alyssa Scott – Model who appeared on Wild ’N Out; she and Nick share son Zen (born June 2021, died at 5 months from brain cancer) and daughter Halo Marie (born December 2022). Zen’s illness and passing led to a wave of public sympathy and more serious discussion about his growing family.
  • Bre Tiesi – Model and Selling Sunset personality; mother of son Legendary Love, born in 2022. Her storyline on reality TV helped keep Nick Cannon’s family tree in constant online conversation.
  • LaNisha Cole – Model and photographer; mother of daughter Onyx Ice Cole, born in 2022. After Nick once forgot to name Onyx in an interview, Cole posted about making sure her daughter feels loved and seen, which also went viral.

Why this is a trending topic

  • Nick Cannon’s rapid run of pregnancies from 2020–2022 made his “100 baby challenge” jokes a constant meme in celebrity gossip forums.
  • Interviews where he talks about intentional fatherhood, unconventional relationships and “non‑traditional” family structure keep the debate going about whether this setup can work for the kids long‑term.
  • Each mother also has her own public persona, so every new birth or public comment spawns fresh discussion about boundaries, co‑parenting and respect between the households.
