“And I was willing to be there physically, but I don’t know if I was available at the level that she needed me emotionally,” Cannon said.
“And you have to stop, she was focused on you coming to see me and us getting together,” Berman continued. “And us going together, on the date together, instead of meeting at the date,” he said. Masked singer The host responded.
Cannon has fathered 12 children with six women. The actor has twins, Monroe and Moroccan, 12, with ex Mariah Carey, to whom he was married from 2008 to 2016, and twins Zion and Zillion, 2, and a daughter, Beautiful Zeppelin, 6 months, with Abby De La Rosa.

Additionally, he is the father of two children with Alyssa Scott: son Zen, who died at 5 months in December 2021 after being diagnosed with brain cancer, and daughter Halo Marie, 6 months.
“And at the last minute, another baby needed something,” Berman said. “Because another baby had a health issue and needed a prescription,” Cannon confirmed.
“And then you, being the parent, the kids come first, and you said, ‘Well, I can do both,'” Berman said. “‘I’m going to get the medicine (for this baby),’ but (the other mother) needed you.”
“And because of past traumas and triggers for my absence, it probably seemed like I wasn’t prioritizing,” Cannon said.
“And they all have wounds, several of them, they have wounds around not feeling like themselves, and they compare themselves to each other,” Berman said.
“Yeah, because I screw up all the time,” Cannon said. “And my screw ups are usually due to malpractice, being stupid. I didn’t do what I said I was going to do, I forgot to call or I was late.”
Cannon and Berman went on to discuss the reality TV star’s recent Mother’s Day gaffe, when Cannon accidentally sent a card meant for one mother to another. “There’s never anything manipulative or vindictive. But things happen,” Cannon concluded.
