'Not the best idea': Nick Cannon's babymama group chat didn't last long
Nick Cannon has admitted it wasn't "the best idea" to create a group chat with the six mothers of his children.
Nick Cannon has admitted it wasn't "the best idea" to create a group chat with the six mothers of his children.
The Masked Singer host set up a text chain with Mariah Carey, Brittany Bell, Abby De La Rosa, Alyssa Scott, Bre Tiesi and LaNisha Cole but quickly found their communication went "off the rails".
Speaking on the On Par with Maury Povich podcast, he said: “Tried it. Off the rails. Too wild for TV.”
Nick - who is currently in an open relationship with Abby and Bre - was then asked if the women all get along and joked: “How do you define get along?”
He clarified that they are all "civil" to one another but “everybody has their own life.”
He added: “Putting them all in a group chat together? Not the best idea.”
Nick is father to 15-year-old twins Moroccan and Monroe from his marriage to Mariah; Golden, nine, Powerful, five, and Rise, four, with Brittany; five-year-old twins Zion and Zillion, and Beautiful, three, with Abby; Legendary, four, with Bre; Onyx, four, with LaNisha; and Halo, three, with Alyssa, the mother of his late son Zen, who died of cancer aged just five months in 2021.
He also suggested his upcoming Netflix docuseries will further explore their complex family dynamic.
Asked if any of the women get upset about how he divides his time, he quipped: “It sounds like you’ve seen my docuseries already.”
Bre recently admitted she sees Nick as her "life partner", but she's "done" if he has any more children.
Speaking on the Lip Service podcast, she said: “If he has another baby, I’m outta here. No more.
“I feel the guilt of not having enough time, having a career. You’ve got The Brady Bunch. We’re not doing 13...
“He is my partner. I think he is my life partner. I genuinely love this man. We have a great relationship. I love our family regardless of everything else. Again, that’s not really my problem. I see it being long term.”
Bre noted she is doing "everything" to make sure she doesn't get pregnant again.
She quipped: “Never again, never. It’s a no. I’m a one and done.”
Bre has previously admitted she would have welcomed closer relationships with the other mothers of Nick's children, but her efforts have not been reciprocated.
She told E! News last month: "I would love to embrace them more, but the relationships with the mothers are, unfortunately, too difficult to do so.
"We've attempted. I think that I've tried every which way and I know how I am and I'm like, 'Girl, please don't take me there because we'll never come back from here.'"
But she wants Nick to help his children build relationships with one another.
She added: "I'm just going to remove myself so that the children can have the best relationship.
"It's not my responsibility to be entirely honest. Nick has to step up and he has to make an environment and support the children."
