Additionally, theMasked Singerhost discussed whether or not all eight of his children were planned.
“Any woman that I know that I have unprotected sex with, there’s the potential to have a child,” Cannon explained. “So I feel like if I have unprotected sex with anyone I know – because one, I value everything about me so much, if I’ve gotten to that point where I say, ‘I can take off this condom,’ I’m gonna say, ‘She could be the mother of my child.’ "
But having unprotected sex is not something he does with everyone as Cannon added, “I’m the biggest germ freak in the world.”
“Every woman that I have a child with, there is definitely a conversation about, ‘Wow, how amazing would this be?’ I feel like every woman I have a child with are amazing mothers, and there was a thought process going into like, ‘Man, she would be an amazing mother, she’s desired children, I can’t wait to see what type of mother she would be.’ "
Continued Cannon: “So, in saying that, I would say that they’re all planned.”
TheNick Cannon Showhost also added on the podcast that he doesn’t think the concept of monogamy is “healthy.”
“I feel like that gets into the space of selfishness and ownership,” he shared, adding that he’s a better companion and friend than boyfriend. “I’m the guy your mom warned you about.”
