Carey rarely discusses Cannon’s other children or his dating history.<\/p>\n

\ufeffEarlier this year, Cannon said he doesn’t like the term “co-parent” while answering a question on his Nick Cannon @ Night podcast.<\/p>\n

He was asked how he managed “multiple co-parenting relationships while dating”.<\/p>\n

Cannon replied that he “always kind of had an issue” with the term “co-parenting” and other labels, instead preferring to consider his role as a father as simply “parenting”.<\/p>\n

“When you start throwing labels on things, I think it does more harm than help and can get very dangerous, because then everybody else has a preconceived notion of what you’re doing,” Cannon said.<\/p>\n

\ufeffCannon, 44, also bristled at the term “baby mamas” to describe the women with whom he shares children with.<\/p>\n

“I don’t bunch them together. I really try my hardest not to be like, ‘Oh yeah, my baby mamas’, you know, unless I’m telling a joke or something like that, but no one wants to be grouped into anything,” he said.<\/p>\n

Earlier this month, he said \ufeffthat having 12 kids was a trauma response, and also said he was being “careless.”<\/p>\n

“It wasn’t like I was acting out. It was more of being careless, being frivolous with my process because I could do it, because I had the money [and] because I had the access to whoever and however I wanted to move,” he said.<\/p>\n
