Public opinion
Nick Cannon says each pregnancy was planned and intentional, and his relationships with the mothers of his children are healthy and consensual. Yet his choice to father so many children so close together has critics, fans, and his celebrity friends talking and judging him.
Nick has insisted:
"If I'm not physically in the same city with my kids, I'm talking to them before they go to school via FaceTime and stuff. And then when I am, I'm driving my kids to school, making sure I pick them up."
You are invited to take a quick scroll through Nick's Instagram page to see photos proving that he spends time with all of his children. The mothers have praised him for being present with his kids.
