It’s another day that ends in y, so you know what that means: we have baby news from the Cannon family. A week after Alyssa Scott revealed that she and Cannon are having another baby, Abby de la Rosa has confirmed that she’s also sprouting another Cannon, bringing her total number of babies to 12.
In true canon fashion, the news came via an astrology meme. De la Rosa, who already has two children with Cannon, announced her pregnancy in June but did not reveal the father’s identity. In early October, she posted photos that showed her and Cannon enjoying a babymoon getaway but wasn’t entirely sure until November 9, when she referenced a certain “Libra” in her Instagram Stories who gave her “4 years and 3 kids. “
Meanwhile, Alyssa Scott is also pregnant with one of Cannon’s children. They previously had a son, Jane, who died last year aged just 5 months. Scott, who has a 4-year-old daughter from a previous relationship, announced he was expecting his third child in October, sharing a photo of his baby bump on Instagram. At the time, she didn’t confirm paternity, but later released a pregnancy photo that definitely cleared things up. “This is a miracle and a blessing,” Scott captioned the photo, which shows Cannon holding her bump as she stands over him in the bathtub.
There isn’t enough red thread in the world to fully track Canon’s rapidly growing family, but we’ll try. He and De La Rosa share twins Jillian Hair and Sione Mixolydian, and he also has 11-year-old twins, Monroe and Moroccan, with Mariah Carey. In July, she welcomed Legendary with Bray Tyce. He shares three children with Britney Bell: 5-year-old Golden, 1-year-old Powerful Queen, and newborn Rise Messiah, who arrived on September 23. Born in September: Onyx Ice Cole Cannon, whose mother, model Lanisha Cole, is a new member of the Cannon Moms Club.
It seems that this man is at least vaguely aware that not everyone appreciates his ambitious contribution to the human population. When Onyx was born, Cannon announced on Instagram that he hoped to “mute any lower vibrational frequencies and only enjoy the highest echelon of civilizations truly aligned with our purpose here in this dimension.” He began to push back against the criticism that one man would not have enough time to effectively raise all these children. “I’m learning that it’s not the limited time we have on this planet, but the limited amount of love that matters. And I promise to love this little girl with all my heart, no matter what anyone says,” she wrote. “I am not easily triggered and have very tough skin and have always been an open book, but not everyone in my family has the same level of strength. So I pray and ask others to please direct all criticism and condemnation towards me and love my children. And not too precious mothers.”
He’s certainly got the multitasking down: He managed to promote his new song “I Do” with Chris Brown at Onyx’s birth announcement.
As for the mothers of Canon’s children, as far as we know, they are largely content with their blended family dynamic. De La Rosa recently opened up about her relationship with Cannon during an appearance on the Lovers & Friends podcast, per E! News, calling it “polyamorous, if you absolutely need a label.” She revealed that she considers Cannon her “primary partner” and that she was “monogamous” during her pregnancy and is aware of Cannon’s other romantic partners. “Technically, we all know about each other,” she said. “It’s just how much you want to know, how much you’re choosing to know. And I believe in the relationship I have with Nick.”
