Nick Cannon sees having multiple children as a "rich man’s sport".

The 44-year-old comedian has 14-year-old twins Moroccan and Monroe with ex-wife Mariah Carey, as well as Golden Sagon, seven, Powerful Queen, three, and Rise Messiah, two, with Brittany Bell.

He is also father to three-year-old twins Zion Mixolydian and Zillion Heir, three, and daughter Beautiful Zeppelin, two, with Abby De La Rosa and Legendary Love, two, with Bre Tiesi and Onyx Ice, also two, with LaNisha Cole.

He and Alyssa Scott have daughter Halo Marie - who will turn two next month - together, while their son Zen died at just five months old from brain cancer in December 2021.

But the 'Masked Singer' host has admitted he has no reason to stop having children, even though it is not, as the famous idiom goes, "cheaper by the dozen" for him.

Speaking in an upcoming clip from TMZ's 'Merry Elfin' Christmas' special when asked if he wants to have more kids, he said: "Why not? It’s definitely not [cheaper by the dozen]. It’s a rich man’s sport, I’ll tell ya that!"

The former Nickelodeon star was then asked about the idea of undergoing a vasectomy to prevent any more pregnancies on his behalf and he remained unsure whether that was something he would be interested in.

He said: "I don’t know. I’m not against…shout out to everybody else who has ever done!"

Last month, Nick admitted that Thanksgiving had become "a very complicated" affair for him.

He told PEOPLE magazine: "It's very complicated. I'm a busy man on Thanksgiving. [I have] a bunch of dinners [I've] got to go to.

"I'm going to be full by the end of the day, but everybody specialises in certain things. some people got good sweet potato pie, some people got amazing fried turkey.

"So I know every house that needs to have the things that I really like."
