Is he polyamorous, just a player, or something else entirely?
Nick Cannon has quite the storied romantic history, so here's what all his exes have
to say about him.
According to a 2016 article in the New York Post, when Meagan Good was younger, she had
sexual relationships with Nick Cannon, as well as Jamie Foxx and Lil Wayne, although
she denied all of it.
As she put it during an interview on The Breakfast Club,
However, Good did admit that she did have one date with Cannon that she'll never forget.
When she appeared on his talk show in December 2021, he called it his "first real date ever"
and declared it a fantastic evening, though it got off to a rocky start.
Good had been nominated for an NAACP Award for the 1997 movie Eve's Bayou, and she invited
him as her date.
Dressed in a tux, he set out to pick her up in his mom's old jalopy, but then he had a
flat tire in the rain and needed a tow truck to get there.
Afterwards, there weren't any more dates.
As Cannon recalled,
Nick Cannon met Christina Milian on the set of the 2003 rom-com Love Don't Cost a Thing.
As he recalled to International Business Times in 2018,
"It was a dream, honestly."
But after dating for a few years, Milian was displeased to learn that Cannon was fooling
around with other women.
As she explained to E! News,
Cannon, meanwhile, didn't understand what all the fuss was about.
As he put it during an appearance on Power 106,
Cannon has since apologized to Milian.
In 2012, she called into his radio show and said,
"You think you know."
"No, I know."
In 2007, Nick Cannon proposed to supermodel Selita Ebanks on the Jumbotron in Times Square,
popping the question with a 15-carat diamond ring.
As he gushed to People Magazine,
But just five months later, Ebanks called off the engagement.
During an appearance on The Breakfast Club in 2013, she explained,
And in a 2011 interview with HDNet's Naughty But Nice Rob, Ebanks suggested that the engagement
was a sham.
As she put it,
Ebanks also alleged that her former fiancé's, quote, "equipment" didn't quite measure up
to her standards.
Nick Cannon and Mariah Carey married in 2008, and they went on to have a twin son and daughter,
Moroccan and Monroe.
But they split up in 2014, finalizing their divorce in 2016, and now they continue to
amicably co-parent.
In her 2020 memoir The Meaning of Mariah Carey, the pop superstar explained that the pressures
of work and raising a family led to the end of their marriage.
As she put it,
Then in 2016, Carey joked with her ex-husband about his growing family before the birth
of his first child with Brittany Bell.
As Cannon relayed to Power 106,
The following year, Carey spoke to Entertainment Tonight about their family traditions, noting
that she and the kids plan surprises for Cannon on Father's Day and that he always makes her
feel special on Mother's Day.
As she put it,
"Always be my baby."
In June 2021, Nick Cannon and Alyssa Scott welcomed into the world Zen, his seventh child,
though their dating history is unclear.
Sadly, Zen died from a brain tumor when he was only five months old.
Cannon shared his treasured last moments with his son on the December 7 episode of his talk show.
"Not only did we get to see the sunrise, but we got to see the sunset too."
After photos of Cannon and Bre Tiesi at Tiesi's baby shower surfaced, he made it official
that they were expecting a child on an episode of his show on January 31, 2022.
At the time, he noted that he didn't mention it sooner out of respect for Scott.
Once Cannon broke the news, Scott took to Instagram to thank the many people who reached
after her son's tragic death.
As she put it,
And on her Instagram Story, Scott also revealedthat she and Cannon were aware that Zen wouldn't
make it past six months.
Next to a photo of her son, she wrote,
Nick Cannon and model Jessica White reportedly dated on and off between 2015 and 2020.
In a 2021 interview with Hollywood Unlocked, White revealed that she had a miscarriage
with Cannon's child.
Brittany Bell was also expecting a baby with Cannon, and according to White, he kept the
news from her.
As White put it:
"But I found out on Instagram, along with the rest of the world."
White also explained that Cannon tried to make things right, but the last straw was
when he didn't stand by her as she faced public criticism.
They eventually parted amicably, as she noted,
In response to a 2022 Hollywood Unlocked poll on Instagram that asked if Cannon or Travis
Barker was the better drummer, White defended herself in the wake of negative comments.
As she put it,
A few months later, Page Six reported that these former lovers might be back on again,
as they were spotted at an Upper East Side strip club.
Cannon and model LaNisha Cole dated back in 2017, and then they reportedly got back together
in 2020.
But they seemingly called it quits again the following year, as reported by Bossip.
In a cryptic since-deleted Instagram post, Cole suggested that she was done being one
of Cannon's many loves.
As she put it,
In another since-deleted post, Cole wrote,
In September 2022, Cole and Cannon welcomed their first child together, Onyx Ice Cole,
with the proud mama writing on her Instagram Story,
The birth announcement came a few months after Abby De La Rosa came under fire for her relationship
with Cannon.
As he celebrated the joy of his baby girl, he was also trying to protect Cole from the
online vitriol, as he wrote on Instagram,
Nick Cannon and DJ Abby De La Rosa reportedly started seeing each other in 2020.
The following year, they welcomed twin boys, and then their third son Rise arrived in 2022.
In a since-deleted Instagram post, De La Rosa explained what happened when the pair linked
up, as she revealed,
De La Rosa opened up about her relationship with Cannon on a 2022 episode of the Lovers
and Friends podcast, as she admitted,
"Stay the fuck away from my motherhood."
Regarding the possibility of monogamy, De La Rosa said that she would consider it in
the future, but, as she put it,
De La Rosa referred to Cannon as her "primary partner" and also revealed that she loves
being a part of his growing brood.
As she put it during an Instagram Live chat,
In a March 2022 interview with E! News' Daily Pop, model Bre Tiesi, the mother of Cannon's
eighth child, revealed how the two longtime friends had dated on and off for years.
As she revealed,
Then in September, Tiesi shared some of her struggles as a new mother on Instagram.
After revealing that her baby had been screaming and that she hadn't slept for days, a commenter
suggested that Cannon should pay for a night nurse.
But Tiesi fired back,
During an episode of the Know For Sure podcast, Tiesi chose not to put a label on her bond
with Cannon.
As she explained,
"So, like, we don't really define it."
During an interview in 2017, Power 106's Big Boy asked Nick Cannon just how many famous
women he'd hooked up with.
"It's LA!" "Okay, well, just do this—"
"That's the whole purpose.
You have sex with actresses, singers, models."
"I don't want you to name names."
This all begs a few questions: Are more kids on the way?
And will Nick Cannon ever be a one-woman man again?
In a 2022 Interview with E! News' Daily Pop, he revealed that he felt guilty about not
spending enough time with all of his children.
As he admitted,
As for ever tying the knot again, Cannon said he's just not the marrying kind.
As he admitted to rapper T.I.
on his podcast expediTIously,
"I know I'll never get married again."
