Nick Cannon brought some extra special guests to the highly anticipated premiere of Moana 2. The father of 12 walked the red carpet with his former partner Brittany Bell and their three children. The rest of his brood was absent — rather understandably given how many attendees he would’ve added to the guest list. See the sweet family of five and who was missing from Cannon’s extra-large family.
Cannon and Bell held hands with their children and helped them along the red carpet at the Moana 2 premiere. The family even posed with Moana herself before entering Hollywood’s El Capitan Theater. Bell wore a shamrock green one-shoulder dress and tucked a white tropical flower behind her right ear. Cannon donned a jade green hat and bomber jacket by True Religion, adding khaki cargo pants and Nike Jordan black and white sneakers.
Nick Cannon and Brittany Bell’s relationship timeline
Bell is mom to Cannon’s third, fourth, and ninth oldest children. Golden Sagon, 7, and Rise Messiah, 2, wore Polynesian-themed sweatshirts, green vests, and matching green pants. The couple dressed Powerful Queen, 3, in an emerald green tulle dress with flower accents. The sweet family first formed when Nick first met Bell in 2015 — one year after his divorce from Mariah Carey. (He has 13-year-old twins, Moroccan and Monroe, from that marriage.)
Nick and Bell dated on and off for two years before Golden entered the world on February 21, 2017. The pair broke up after Golden’s birth but got back together by 2020 when their daughter, Powerful, was born on December 23, 2020. In 2021, the couple ended their relationship again. Then came five more kids from four other partners.
Nick welcomed twin sons Zion Mixolydian and Zillion Heir in June 2021 (with JOB Abby De La Rosa); son Zen, who died in December 2021 after a battle with brain cancer (with JOB Alyssa Scott); son Legendary Love in July 2022 (with JOB Bre Tiesi); and daughter Onyx Ice in September 2022 (with JOB LaNisha Cole).
Three children total for Nick Cannon and Brittany Bell
In a confusing move, Nick and Brittany Bell seemed to reunite in late 2021 or 2022. Although they never confirmed an exclusive relationship, the couple welcomed their son, Rise, in September 2022. On Instagram, Nick credited God with his “remarkable and unfathomable” journey. The Masked Singer host continued, “He has given me stewardship and dominion over a family dynamic that to some is unimaginable.”
Nick credited Bell with “matriarch energy.” The 44-year-old wrote on Instagram, “[Brittany] has been the rock and foundation of my Fatherhood journey. She has taught me so much about parenting, psychology, spirituality, love and just life in general. For our third child she told me she didn’t want a baby shower and needed NOTHING! All she desired was PRAYER from her authentic Loved Ones!”
After Rise’s birth in September 2022, Nick welcomed daughter Halo Marie Scott with Scott, on November 3, 2022. Rounding out his brood to 12, he and De La Rosa celebrated the birth of their daughter, Beautiful Zeppelin, eight days later on November 11. Fans wondered if Nick would continue building his family at this pace. However, as of November 2024, Beautiful is still the multihyphenate’s youngest child.
Nick Cannon’s current relationship status
So who is Nick currently in a relationship with? This might be the ultimate question. All of Nick’s partners have praised his ability to manage his co-parenting duties, which often confuses fans who see him with various moms at different events. As far as the public knows, Nick and Bell co-parent regularly — and seem to enjoy their time together — but are not romantically involved.
Most recently, Nick and Bre Tiesi have cited their on-again-off-again relationship, last breaking up earlier in 2024. The partner who appears most on Nick’s Instagram? Abby De La Rosa. The 34-year-old has been most vocal about her open relationship with the America’s Got Talent host. She’s called Nick her “primary partner” while acknowledging his unique lifestyle.
