Kids

Nick Cannon's been through some pretty big projects in his time -- like hosting "America's Got Talent" and "Wild 'n Out" -- although it looks like fatherhood's pretty high up there on his list, too!

The actor and comedian has made plenty of headlines for his relationships with his 12 -- yeah, you read that right, 12 -- children, whom he shares with a total of six partners.

Here's a look at the television personality's parenting life to see how he's managed to maintain strong relationships with his seriously extended family.

Cannon's first two children are the product of his marriage with Mariah Carey, which kicked off in 2008, three years after they met.

The singer and the actor welcomed -- on the day of their third wedding anniversary, we should add -- twins ... a son named Moroccan and a girl named Monroe, in 2011.

The couple remained together for another three years before splitting up, and they officially finalized their divorce in 2016.

Cannon and Carey have remained on cordial terms ever since their separation, however, and they've established a healthy coparenting dynamic in the years following the end of their marriage.

Cannon didn't exactly sit still after his split with Carey, as he was first linked to model and former Miss Arizona -- and Miss Guam -- Brittany Bell in 2015.

The pair started their family with the birth of their first son, Golden, in 2017, although they went their separate ways shortly afterward.

However, the rapper and the model eventually reconciled, and their daughter, Powerful Queen, arrived in 2020.

The two appeared to break up for the second time after their second child's arrival -- and he fathered a few other kids in the meantime, but more on that later -- although they evidently reconnected at some point, because their second son, Rise, was born in 2022.

Regarding Cannon's on-off relationship with Bell ... well, it turns out he had plenty going on during their breaks -- including a romance with DJ Abby De La Rosa.

While it's unclear as to when those two first met, their lifelong connection was solidified when the radio personality gave birth to twin boys named Zion and Zillion in June 2021.

Cannon and De La Rosa welcomed their first daughter, Beautiful Zeppelin, the following November -- although the couple eventually broke up.

The DJ opened up about her coparenting relationship with the actor on an episode of the "Lovers by Shan" podcast, where she spoke about the "trust" she had developed with the actor over the past few years.

Cannon's paternal journey hasn't been all fun and games, and the actor's dealt with his fair share of tragedy as a parent ... especially when he had to navigate the aftermath of his son Zen's death in December 2021.

The actor shared his late son with model Alyssa Scott, who gave birth to Zen in July 2021 ... their baby boy developed brain cancer and died five months after he was born.

The pair ultimately worked through their loss, and the social media figure announced she was pregnant with their second child in November 2022.

Scott gave birth to the pair's second child, a baby girl named Halo Marie, the following month, and she shared a post on Instagram to let her fans know her late son's "spirit was with us in the room" when Cannon's child arrived, according to People.

We've mentioned three of Cannon's kids who were born in 2022 so far ... and we've still got two more from two different mothers to go!

Let's start off with Bre Tiesi, who the actor met several years before the birth of their son Legendary in June 2022.

The model and her baby daddy have maintained an open relationship, and she claimed she was "happy" with their dynamic in a December 2024 episode of the "Wednesdays" podcast.

Paris Hilton made a name for herself through late-night parties and wild nights out ... but now it looks like she's enjoyed settling down a bit over the past few years, as she's fully embraced her life as a mother of two kids.

The reality television personality has welcomed a boy and a girl -- Phoenix and London, respectively -- and she hasn't been shy about showing off her children to her fans and followers over the past few years.

We're going to check out how the entrepreneur started her family and see what she's had to say about motherhood.

Hilton started her family alongside her husband, Carter Reum, whom she married in November 2021 in a lavish ceremony at a private estate in Los Angeles.

The thing is, the couple had been planning to start a family even before they tied the knot ... and she revealed they'd started their IVF journey in January 2021.

The reality television figure opened up about the journey on an episode of the "Trend Reporter With Mara" podcast, which was released that month, and described the IVF process as "tough," according to People.

However, she also claimed the process was "worth it" and credited her now-husband with being "so supportive" of her at the time.

The treatments ended up paying off, because Hilton welcomed Phoenix, who was born via surrogate, in January 2023, although she initially kept her son's birth private.

She explained her decision on an episode of "Today with Hoda & Jenna" and noted, as her life had "been so public," she "just wanted something for me" -- which ended up being her son's arrival!

And hey, she eventually warmed up to sharing her son with her fans, and if the numerous photos and videos featuring Phoenix she's shared on her social media platforms isn't enough proof for ya ... we don't know what is!

On top of that, she's also spoken about the close bond she's developed with her son over the past two years, and she described herself as "obsessed" with her eldest child, whom she described as her "best buddy," in an interview with People.

Remember when we talked about how Hilton went through the IVF process back in 2021? Well, it turns out she'd always had more than one kid on her mind, as she claimed she wanted a "boy and a girl" at the time!

And she definitely got what she wanted, as she welcomed London, who was also born via surrogate, in November 2023.

The reality television mainstay described her life after the birth of her daughter as feeling "so complete" in an interview with People, where she also expressed she was "over the moon" about being a mom-of-two.

A Delta Airlines employee used a "Peppa Pig" iPad that a kid lost on a plane to record videos pleasuring himself ... at least according to a new lawsuit.

Delta is being sued by a married couple in South Carolina ... they say their child left behind a pink "Peppa Pig" iPad on a flight and claim they later learned a Delta employee used the device to film pornographic videos in their Delta uniform and name badge.

In the docs, obtained by TMZ, the couple says their kid left the iPad behind on a July 2023 flight from South Carolina to New York ... and someone started using it to take photos and videos.

The Rock’s built a career on many things, but being a dad to three daughters is his rock-solid gig -- even if it means enduring a makeup meltdown that’ll go down in family history!

Dwayne shared a hilarious IG clip of his daughters going rogue with some eccentric makeup that somehow made its way across his bald head. And if his expression didn’t say it all, his caption made it clear -- he regretted every second of letting them have free rein.

Dwayne called it a decision he'd look back on and say, "What the %#$@ was I thinking??" But he tried to roll with it, saying he’s got a big heart and clearly a lot of canvas for his little artists to get creative on.

And boy, did they get creative -- but clearly, they hadn’t quite figured out blush, contour, or shade matching, 'cause Dwayne ended up looking like a walking canvas of purple.

Before this lil' kiddo with brown eyes was up onstage -- becoming one of the best-selling Latin artists -- he was just throwin' on his silly hat, and dreaming of being a famous performer ...

Born and raised in Medellin, he has one younger sister named Carolina. He definitely loved music growing up -- listening to rock groups like Nirvana and Metallica. He eventually found his way to New York City where he became impressed by Diddy and 50 Cent.

Need one more lil' hint on who this cute kid is? "La Cancion!"

Trisha Paytas has been through plenty of interesting experiences throughout her career as a media personality ... and ya gotta imagine becoming a mother's way up on the list!

The podcast host is a proud mom to two daughters and a son with her husband, Moses Hacmon.

Here's a look at the lives of the media personality's three children, as well as the reasons why she chose their names.

Paytas' eldest daughter, Malibu Barbie, was born in October 2022, which came as a shock to the social media figure, as she'd previously dealt with fertility issues.

The media figure opened up about her daughter's name in a Q&A video she shared on her YouTube account the same month, where she said she'd "always loved" the word Malibu and felt as if it would be a great name for a kid.

She then suggested Barbie as a middle name for her first baby as she felt it would be "the cutest name ever."

Paytas has also credited the birth of her daughter with inspiring her to place more of an emphasis on her mental well-being, and she said in an interview with Elle she'd "been putting in a lot of work to control my emotions" after becoming a mother.

The YouTube star's fans didn't have to wait too long for another big announcement about her family, because she revealed her second pregnancy, sharing a post on her Instagram account in October 2023.

She gave birth to her second daughter, Elvis, the following May, and her middle child's been featured in plenty of her YouTube photos and Instagram posts.

Oh, and get this ... Paytas actually gave her fans a bit of foreshadowing about her children's names in a video that she shared all the way back in 2011!

She reposted the video on her Instagram account following her second daughter's arrival, and although it's worth mentioning she was banking on having a boy named Elvis and twin girls named Malibu and Barbie, it looks like she got what she wanted one way or another!

Paytas announced she was planning to add a third child to her family during a March 2025 episode of her "Just Trish" podcast, where she showed off images of her baby's sonogram.

She welcomed her third child four months later ... she gave birth to a boy they named Aquaman -- his middle name is Moses, from his father.

The YouTube star opened up about the unorthodox name choice on another episode of "Just Trish" and claimed she'd originally thought about naming her child Water, as her husband's "whole philosophy was, 'We're just water.'"

Everyone’s been side-eyeing Trisha Paytas for naming her baby after DC’s Aquaman, but plot twist: director James Gunn seems to be riding the wave ... just with a splash of caution!

The DC Studios co-CEO was out at Comic-Con over the weekend when he was asked about the viral baby name -- and while he called it cool, he also made it clear he hopes the kid doesn't get washed out by bullies at school.

James explained he caught flak back when he was in school just for his last name alone -- yep, cue the endless gun puns -- so he’s hoping lil' Aquaman doesn’t get the same treatment … assuming playground roasts are still alive and well like they were back in his day.

Of course, Trisha’s no stranger to bold baby names -- she’s already got a Malibu Barbie and an Elvis at home, but Aquaman’s definitely made the biggest impact yet.

Tyler Boebert, the 20-year-old son of Lauren Boebert, is facing a misdemeanor child abuse charge following an incident involving the congresswoman’s grandson, according to a report.

According to records, obtained by Denver Westword, through the Windsor Police Department, the July 11 citation stems from criminal negligence where no injury or death occurred.

In a statement to TMZ, the Colorado Republican representative downplayed the incident, calling it "a miscommunication on monitoring my young grandson that recently led to him getting out of our house." She emphasized no physical harm took place and said her family has already met with Child Protective Services to ensure the safety of all children in the home.

Kelly Osbourne continues to pay tribute to her late father, Ozzy Osbourne, days after his death.

On Saturday, the 40-year-old shared a touching clip from the A&E series "Jack & Ozzy’s World Detour," showing one of her favorite moments with her dad. The video features Kelly and Ozzy dancing and laughing together during a road trip.

The video was captioned, "One of the best Ozzy moments ever!" which begins with Kelly telling her father, "Morning, I got this song in my head I have to play it for you," before blasting "Paradise" by George Ezra. Ozzy quickly joins in on the fun, dancing along before the two groove together in the motorhome.

If you thought life couldn't get worse for the alleged 'Scream' mask, gangbang teacher Brittany Fortinberry, then think again!

Fortinberry has been cooling her heels in jail since her February arrest and has been charged with 41 felonies, including sex crimes against minors — and now she's been sued by a bank for skipping out on credit card payments.

Synchrony Bank filed the lawsuit Wednesday in an Indiana court, claiming Fortinberry failed to pay $2,125.50 in credit fees she amassed since opening the account in 2021.

Ghislaine Maxwell answered questions from the feds about 100 people linked to Jeffrey Epstein ... at least according to her lawyer.

Epstein's child sex trafficking associate reportedly received limited immunity before sitting down for two days this week to chat with Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche.

Ghislaine's lawyer, David Oscar Markus, reportedly told journalists Maxwell fielded questions about 100 different people linked to Epstein ... and he says his client was asked every possible thing imaginable.

TikTok influencer Emilie Kiser's husband, Brady, just dodged criminal charges in the tragic drowning of their 3-year-old son, Trigg Kiser.

The child was found lifeless in the family's Arizona pool back in May, and cops recommended a felony child abuse charge against Brady ... but prosecutors declined to pursue any charges.

In a Friday afternoon news dump, Maricopa County Attorney Rachel Mitchell announced Brady will not be charged because "there is no reasonable likelihood of conviction."

NBA YoungBoy's verses have featured plenty of wild claims -- including one about his soon-to-arrive thirteenth child!

The rapper made the news about his plans known in a verse from his new track "If You Need Me," in which he made a reference to his wife being "on our 3rd kid."

In light of the songwriter's claim, we're going to take a look at the lives of the performer's other children and get a glimpse of the musician's family life.

Some people just can't wait to have kids ... and it looks like YoungBoy's one of them, as he welcomed his first son, Kayden, when he was still a teenager!

The rap star shares his eldest child with Nisha Keller, and although they separated after Kayden's birth, they ended up getting back together further down the road ... more on that later.

YoungBoy's second son, Taylin, arrived in March 2017, and he shares the child with another ex-girlfriend, named Nia.

The thing is, he ended up reuniting with an old ex, Starr Dejanee, and they welcomed his third baby boy, Kamiri, the following year.

The performer also helps raise his ex's son Kamron -- whom he initially thought was his own, although a DNA test later proved otherwise.

Not all of the rap star's relationships have exactly been conventional, and he ended up in hot water for his treatment of one of his baby mamas, Jania Meshell.

YoungBoy was allegedly caught body-slamming his ex on camera in February 2018, and he was arrested on a kidnapping warrant the same month.

He later worked out a plea deal and pled guilty to misdemeanor simple battery family violence. He was required to not have any violent contact with his girlfriend.

YoungBoy and Jania ultimately reconciled and welcomed a son named Kacey in February 2019 -- although they wound up breaking up.

Remember how we said Nisha would show up again earlier on? Well, it turns out the performer briefly reconciled with his ex, and she gave birth to his first daughter, Armani, in June 2020.

And he didn't have to wait too long to expand his family again ... because another one of his girlfriends, Drea Symone, gave birth to a baby girl named Kodi just five months later!

The performer's family only kept expanding further, as another ex of his, Yaya Mayweather, gave birth to his son Kentrell Jr. in January 2021.

It looked like YoungBoy was ready to settle down about then, as he started dating Jazlyn Mychelle in 2020 and married her in 2023 ... but the kids just kept coming!

The rapper didn't exactly wait to start a family with Mychelle, because their first child, a daughter named Alice, was born in August 2021.

And they didn't exactly wait for too long to give Alice a younger sibling, the rapper's now-wife gave birth to their son Klemenza the following September.

The pair's eldest child was named after YoungBoy's grandmother, according to Billboard, and his son was named for a character from "The Godfather" ... which is a pretty cool reference, if you ask us.

Oh, and we should mention the performer allegedly fathered two children, including a daughter named Kiori, with two separate women in 2023, which brings the rapper's apparent total count of kids to 12 -- which puts him neck-and-neck with Nick Cannon, in case you were wondering.

Before this cutie patootie with blonde pigtails turned into a multi-Grammy award winner, she was just holdin' on tight to her microphone, growing up on the farm in Oklahoma with her siblings and dreaming of being America's golden girl!

She first captivated America with her stellar singing skills and natural beauty back in 2005. It may be hard to crack a smile and a round of applause from Simon Cowell, but this talented star sure brought it out of him! She's got too many top songs to count!

1:57 PM PT -- Little League just released a statement on the ruling, saying, in part, "While we understand and support the excitement and competition of our tournament, player safety and proper sportsmanship among all participants and fans must remain a focus. We respect the determination and judgement of the umpire who was present and are disappointed that a legal ruling contradicts the integrity of Little League International’s value and rules."

The Little Leaguer who was suspended for his bat-flip celebration just had his ban overturned.

TMZ Sports has confirmed Gloucester County Chancery Judge Robert Malestein ruled in the youth baseball player's favor on Thursday ... just two days after the boy's father, Joseph Rocco, sued Little League to get his son's punishment thrown out.

Malestein said part of the basis for his decision centered on official Little League accounts previously celebrating bat flips.
