If Nick Cannon were a betting man, even he would bet on himself.
The comedian said it’s “safe to bet” he’ll father at least three more children this year as he anticipates the arrival of his eighth child.
Speaking to “Entertainment Tonight” Thursday, Cannon didn’t shy away from speaking about potentially expanding his ever-growing brood.

“That would take all the fun out of it if I just gave you a number right now,” he told host Nischelle Turner.
Doing some quick math, Turner noted how model Bre Tiesi is pregnant with Cannon’s eighth child at the same time as Abby De La Rosa, who is the mother of Cannon’s twins.
However, De La Rosa has not yet confirmed who the father of her unborn baby is.

After probing Cannon, Turner suggested it might be his child.
“You would be close,” he said in response. “You would be safe to bet on three [more children] in 2022.”
Cannon previously teased his baby plans when he said “the stork is on the way” in last month’s interview on Angela Yee’s “Lip Service” podcast.

The “Masked Singer” host is already dad to 11-year-old twins Monroe and Moroccan, whom he shares with ex-wife Mariah Carey, as well as 5-year-old son Golden “Sagon” and 1-year-old daughter Powerful Queen with Brittany Bell.
He also shares 1-year-old twins, Zion Mixolydian and Zillion Heir, with De La Rosa.

Cannon and Alyssa Scott were also parents to a son named Zen, who died in December 2021 at 5 months old after being diagnosed with brain cancer.
The latest pregnancy serves as an extra surprise considering Cannon said in October that he was trying to stay celibate until 2022 — a goal he definitely did not seem to achieve.
