Nick Cannon Says Group Chat With Six Co-Parents Failed

On November 10, 2026, Nick Cannon’s comments about a failed group chat involving the women who are mothers to his children drew attention to the challenges of coordinating a large family. He discussed the thread on the November 9 episode of the podcast On Par with Maury Povich, saying he had tried bringing the women together in one chat and found it chaotic and unsuitable for television.

The six women were LaNisha Cole, Bre Tiesi, Alyssa Scott, Abby De La Rosa, Brittany Bell and Mariah Carey. Cannon shares 12 children with them. Asked whether they get along, he joked about the meaning of the phrase, then said they are civil and each has her own life. He concluded that putting them all in one chat was not a good idea.

Cannon also hinted that his family arrangements will feature in an upcoming Netflix docuseries, expected this winter. He made the remark when asked whether any of the women object to his spending more time with certain co-parents than with others.

Tiesi, who has a son with Cannon, has said she does not plan to have another child with him. In an October 6 podcast appearance, she described the size of the family as difficult to manage alongside her career and said she was committed to having only one child. Cannon has previously said the mothers do not need to get along with one another, while describing his own relationships with them as open and honest.
