He said: \u201cBeing almost 45 now, I could sit back and like, yeah, if I would have thought the process through a little bit more and took time to actually do the inner work, things might have been a little different in certain scenarios.<\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t know … because I\u2019ve always said this, every child that I had was made out of love and there were strong relationships.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf I would have did the work [and] the healing after getting divorced, I probably would have took my time in a lot of other scenarios and for whatever reason I thought that was the answer a lot of times, like, \u2018Oh, I\u2019m gonna figure it out over here\u2019.<\/p>\n
\u201cNow, you\u2019re leaving trauma every step of the way instead of fixing it from its origin.\u201d<\/p>\n
Cannon recently said he\u2019s going to \u201cpress hold\u201d on having any more children right now but he\u2019s \u201cnot against\u201d expanding his family again in the future.<\/p>\n
He told People: \u201cI really don\u2019t know [about having more children]. I\u2019m being honest. I\u2019m having so much fun in this space right now, and the way my bank account is set up, I\u2019m going to press hold on this 12 for right now.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut I was just speaking of three years from now [or] five years from now, who knows? I\u2019m not against it.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Cannon went on to insist he was damaged after his split from Carey and needed to do more…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":25428,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[17525,74,6743,17517,25754,25755,1061,14722,156,2209,71,1351,305,692,25756,130,111,139,6933,69,312,3271,19554,2044,1908,6736],"class_list":{"0":"post-25427","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-entertainment","8":"tag-17525","9":"tag-after","10":"tag-became","11":"tag-because","12":"tag-cannon","13":"tag-careless","14":"tag-children","15":"tag-divorce","16":"tag-entertainment","17":"tag-father","18":"tag-from","19":"tag-had","20":"tag-have","21":"tag-he","22":"tag-heal","23":"tag-more","24":"tag-new-zealand","25":"tag-newzealand","26":"tag-nick","27":"tag-nz","28":"tag-says","29":"tag-should","30":"tag-taken","31":"tag-time","32":"tag-trauma","33":"tag-was"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/25427","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=25427"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/25427\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/25428"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=25427"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=25427"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=25427"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
