Nick Cannon was feelin’ Jovani — and flirtatious — after The Masked Singer’s latest reveal.

During the November 8 episode of the Fox series, the comedian, aged 43, was thrilled to discover Luann de Lesseps disguised as Hibiscus. Cannon joyfully declared, "It's the extraordinary cabaret star, the incomparable Countess Luann!" After Hibiscus revealed herself, he jokingly referred to her as his future child's mother. The former Real Housewives of New York City cast member, aged 58, expressed her enjoyment of participating on the show, stating, "I had an incredible time. I will see you all at my cabaret performances!"

Cannon then proposed that it would be "exciting" if de Lesseps brought the Hibiscus outfit along on the tour. She inquired, "Can I keep this and bring it home?" Cannon responded, "I have connections, I know someone."

Before revealing her true identity, Hibiscus playfully wrapped her leg around Cannon while giving him a hug. The host humorously remarked, "Hibiscus is getting a bit adventurous with me!"

De Lesseps made a previous appearance on season 9 of The Masked Singer as a clue presenter. Cannon playfully referred to her as his "new baby mama" and complimented her on her stylish sequined jacket. He jokingly mentioned that they had a love connection.

Cannon's large family is frequently discussed on The Masked Singer, with panelists Ken Jeong, Robin Thicke, Jenny McCarthy, and Nicole Scherzinger often making jokes about the number of children he has. Cannon became a father in April 2011 when he and his ex-wife Mariah Carey welcomed twins Moroccan and Monroe, who are now 12 years old.

Cannon went on to have nine more children with five different women. He has sons named Golden Sagon, 6, and Rise Messiah, 13 months, and a daughter named Powerful Queen, 2, with Brittany Bell. He has a son named Legendary Love, 16 months, with Bre Tiesi, a daughter named Onyx Ice, 13 months, with LaNisha Cole, and twins named Zion and Zillion, 2, and a daughter named Beautiful Zeppelin, 11 months, with Abby De La Rosa. He also has a son named Zen and a daughter named Halo Marie, 10 months, with Alyssa Scott. (Sadly, Zen passed away from brain cancer in December 2021 when he was just 5 months old.)

During season 8 of the competition show, Jeong, 54, jokingly mentioned that Cannon was tired because he had been up all night trying to memorize his kids' names. In the same episode, the contestant Snowstorm, later revealed as Nikki Glaser, made a humorous comment about keeping her distance from Cannon.

“I’m just so scared to get too close to you,” Glaser, 39, said. “I don’t want to get pregnant.”

The Masked Singer airs on Fox Wednesdays at 8 p.m. ET.
