\n\t\t<\/h3>\n<\/p><\/div>\n\n\t\t\tDoting dad! Nick Cannon has welcomed 12 children over the years\u00a0 \u2014 and the little ones are too cute. The Wild \u2019N Out host first became a father in 2011 when he and then-wife Mariah Carey welcomed their twins, Moroccan and Monroe. The former couple divorced five years later, and they have been coparenting their [\u2026]\t\t<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
Last month, Cannon told Entertainment Tonight<\/em><\/a> that the holiday season was his \u201cfavorite time of year,\u201d noting that he had plans to celebrate<\/a> with as much of his family as possible. \u201cSaint Nick will be in every chimney I could possibly be in,\u201d he told the outlet in November. \u201cIt\u2019s all about the kids, so you\u2019ll definitely see us doing some fun, over-the-top stuff in the next 30 days.\u201d<\/p>\nThe All That<\/em> alum seemingly kept his promise, sharing various photoshoots with multiple members of his brood via Instagram on Monday. After dressing up for Legendary, he popped in to spend time with De La Rosa, 33, and their three kids. He later snapped some sweet shots with Bell, 36, and their three little ones, as well as with daughter Onyx.<\/p>\nIt wasn\u2019t just his own kids, however, that Cannon showed up for. The Drumline<\/em> star visited children in a hospital<\/a> earlier this week to honor his late son, Zen. Cannon posted an Instagram video<\/a> of the time at the Children\u2019s Hospital of Orange County on Saturday, December 23, titling the clip, \u201cZen\u2019s Light Holiday Hospital Special.\u201d<\/p>\n\n![\"Nick](\"https:\/\/www.usmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/abrenick.jpeg?w=1000&quality=86&strip=all\")

The hospital visit was part of the activities of Zen\u2019s Light Foundation, which Cannon and Scott launched in June 2022. The mission of the foundation is to \u201cfoster global excellence in hope, grief care and pediatric healthcare for families and children in need.\u201d<\/p>\n
Cannon was seemingly able to be everywhere for everyone this Christmas, but the actor has previously been candid about how being a father of 12 can cause a major time management issue.<\/p>\n
\u201cBeing a father of multiple kids, it\u2019s always the biggest guilt on me is that I don\u2019t get to spend enough time with all my children,\u201d he explained during a December 2022 interview on The Checkup With Dr. David Agus<\/em>. \u201cOne, \u2019cause I\u2019m constantly working, and two, because I\u2019m just spread thin.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\nThank You!<\/h3>\n
