Nick Cannon recently opened up about his dislike for the term “co-parenting” while answering a question on his podcast Nick Cannon @ Night. The Masked Singer host has welcomed 12 children with six different women over the years.
Nick Cannon Dislikes the Term ‘Co-Parenting’
During a recent episode of Cannon’s Wondery podcast Nick Cannon @ Night, a fan asked the host to share his “perspective on managing multiple co-parenting relationships while dating,” adding, “It’s a unique situation that could offer some real insights for blended families.”
According to People, Cannon replied that he has “always kind of had an issue” with the term “co-parenting,” and prefers to just use the word “parenting.” As he explained, “When you start throwing labels on things, I think it does more harm than help and can get very dangerous, because then everybody else has a preconceived notion of what you’re doing.”
Cannon admitted that he hasn’t “figured it out yet,” adding, “But also to your point, if I just step into every situation with respect and compassion and individuality. That’s the other thing I always do with anyone I’m involved with in my life.”
He also shared that when talking about the mothers of his children, he tries not to “bunch them together,” saying, “I really try my hardest not to be like, ‘Oh yeah, my baby mamas’, you know, unless I’m telling a joke or something like that, but no one wants to be grouped into anything.”

What Are People Saying About Cannon’s Comments?
According to the New York Post, Cannon’s comments about co-parenting received a negative response from some people online. One Instagram commenter apparently wrote, “Clearly, he doesn’t believe in anything that starts with ‘co.’ Co-parenting, commitment, common sense, constant presence and condoms.”
Another commenter was confused about why Cannon would have an issue with the term “co-parenting” in the first place, writing, “But isn’t that what he’s doing with his football team of kids? What else would you call it.”
Someone else brought up the fact that Cannon recently had trouble remembering the names of two of his children during a podcast appearance, writing, “Well… when you forget your children’s names… I believe the term is No-Parenting, right?”
