While Cannon is known for his acting roles and years of hosting different TV shows, he is often talked about for his large growing family as well.
Over the past 14 years, he has become a father to 12 children with six mothers, including his ex-wife Mariah Carey, Brittany Bell, Alyssa Scott, Abby De La Rosa, Bre Tiesi, and LaNisha Cole.
Cannon has spoken many times about how he views fatherhood, saying he embraces having a big family even if it looks unusual from the outside.
During a conversation with Dr. Laura Berman a few years back, he shared his thoughts, saying: “You’re going to be a father of many. You’re a great influence, your lineage, your offspring are going to do great things.'”
In an Instagram story shared on November 13, she wrote: “Clearing something up guys.”
“I only have ONE brother who is Moroccan Cannon. I do have other half siblings from my dad but they are all many, many years younger than me.”
Her comments quickly sparked discussion online, with many people debating how close Cannon’s children are to one another and how different it can feel to be a half sibling versus a full one.
Cannon has often praised Monroe for her maturity, telling PEOPLE that she is “wise beyond her years” and even joking that she is the one who has helped him through some of the hardest moments of his life.
He explained: “As much as I was open to every single child that I have, I can’t say the majority of them were planned.”
“If you would have told me in 2012 when I was still married and just diagnosed with Lupus that 10 years from now… that I would have 12 children, I would be like f**k out of here! There’s no way in the world that I would ever plan that.”
