A Long-Term Commitment with One Condition
Bre Tiesi, 35, has offered a candid look into her relationship with Nick Cannon, the father of 12. Despite the complexities of their arrangement, Tiesi considers Cannon her dedicated life partner. During a recent appearance on Angela Yee’s Lip Service podcast, she emphasized the strength of their bond, stating, “I genuinely love this man. We have a great relationship. I love our family regardless of everything else.”
However, the Selling Sunset alum remains clear about where she draws the line. While she envisions a long-term future with the 46-year-old entertainer, she has identified one absolute dealbreaker: the prospect of Cannon having a 13th child.
“If it ever happens, then I might be out,” Tiesi declared. “If he has another baby, I’m out of here. No more!”
The Challenges of a Large Family
Tiesi expressed concerns regarding the sheer scale of Cannon’s family, noting that managing a household of 12 children is already an immense undertaking. “There’s so many kids. There’s so much going on,” she explained. She added that she personally feels the pressure of balancing parenthood with her career, reiterating her stance that she is not open to expanding the family further: “I’m a one and done.”
Nick Cannon’s Perspective on His Destiny
For his part, Nick Cannon has previously described his large family as part of his “destiny.” In a past interview, he revealed that he had spoken his desire for 12 children into existence years ago, drawing inspiration from his own upbringing in an unorthodox and large family environment. Currently, he maintains that having 12 children feels like a sufficient number, given the rigorous daily schedule of activities he manages for them.
Navigating Relationships with Other Mothers
Beyond the topic of family size, Tiesi has addressed her interactions with the other mothers of Cannon’s children. In recent remarks, she admitted that maintaining personal relationships with them has proven difficult. To protect the best interests of the children and maintain peace, she has chosen to distance herself from those interpersonal dynamics.
“It’s not my responsibility, to be entirely honest,” Tiesi noted. “Nick has to step up, and he has to make an environment and support the children.”
