Nick Cannon is ready for his “favorite time of the year” and bringing joy to all of his 11 children.
"I'll be in every chimney just like Saint Nick," The Masked Singer host, 43, revealed to Entertainment Tonight on Saturday, November 25, as he prepared backstage at the Soul Train Music Awards in Los Angeles. "It's all about the kids, so get ready to see us having some fun and going over-the-top in the next 30 days."
Cannon is set to have a packed schedule this holiday season as he plans to spend time with his children and their mothers.
He has children with different women including twins Moroccan and Monroe, 12, Golden Sagon, 6, Rise Messiah, 14 months, Powerful Queen, 2, Beautiful Zeppelin, 12 months, and twins Zion and Zillion, 2, as well as daughter Onyx, 14 months, and son Legendary Love, 17 months. He also welcomed daughter Halo Marie, now 11 months, in December 2022, and tragically lost their son Zen to cancer in December 2021 at 5 months old. Cannon acknowledged that managing his time with so many children from different mothers is a significant challenge.
“Having multiple kids, I constantly feel guilty about not being able to spend enough time with all of them,” Cannon admitted during a December 2022 interview on The Checkup With Dr. David Agus. “Between my demanding work schedule and feeling stretched thin, it's a challenge.”

The TV and radio host shared in May that he encountered another challenge when he mistakenly swapped the names of his kids' mothers on their Mother's Day cards. "I really did my best," he admitted on his radio show, The Daily Cannon. "I was trying to write heartfelt messages by hand, but ended up mixing up the cards as I wrote."
Cannon announced on Saturday that he has a new project in the works. In addition to his current roles hosting a radio show, The Masked Singer, and Wild 'N Out on MTV, he is also launching a new show on VH1 called Future Superstars. This show will focus on showcasing the next generation of talent and is part of his efforts to cultivate and promote young talent.
