Nick Cannon Says He Practices ‘Consensual Non-Monogamy’ – Billboard

Nick Cannon has been the topic of dialogue in recent times, as he’s a father of seven kids with a lot of completely different ladies — together with one who’s pregnant with the star’s eighth.

Cannon appeared in a YouTube Stay interview this week with R&B duo DVSN and intercourse therapist Dr. Tammy Nelson, the place he mentioned “open monogamy” and the at this time’s state of romantic relationships.

“I’ve practiced monogamy, I’ve been a cheater, I’ve been poisonous,” Cannon stated, including that he needs to “be the perfect self I can presumably be and be the perfect father I can presumably be.”

“All of it begins with honesty,” he added. “It’s actually simply floor, primary stuff. Considered one of my therapists coined what I do as consensual non-monogamy. As a result of to even fake like I’m in a monogamous relationship, that may be deceptive. As a result of, as we all know, monogamy defines one factor — and other people wish to classify what I do as polyamory or polygamy, however even that, I at all times say to outline me is to restrict me.”

Cannon is the daddy of twins Monroe and Moroccan, with Mariah Carey; Golden “Sagon” and Highly effective Queen with Brittany Bell; twins Zion Mixolydian and Zillion Inheritor, with Abby De La Rosa; and Zen — who died in December — with Alyssa Scott.
