In April, Cannon appeared on The Howard Stern Show where the host challenged the father of 12 to name all of his kids. In doing so, he left out daughter Onyx's name.

"You threw me off because I was going in order!" Cannon said in his defense.

The actor shares twins Monroe and Moroccan with ex Mariah Carey, whom he was married to from 2008 to 2016. He is also a father to sons Golden Sagon, 6, and Rise Messiah, 8 months, and daughter Powerful Queen with Brittany Bell.

Cannon shares twins Zion Mixolydian and Zillion Heir and daughter Beautiful Zeppelin, with Abby De La Rosa; son Legendary Love, 10 months, with Bre Tiesi; and daughter Onyx Ice Cole with LaNisha Cole. Additionally, he's dad to two children with Alyssa Scott: son Zen — who died at 5 months old in December 2021 after being diagnosed with brain cancer — and daughter Halo Marie.

In December, the host appeared in an installment of The Checkup with Dr. Agus on Paramount+ and opened up about how he struggles to find time with all his children.

"Being a father of multiple kids, it's always the biggest guilt on me is that I don't get to spend enough time with all my children," said Cannon.

"One 'cause I'm constantly working and two because I'm just spread thin," he explained.
