 It’s not Baby Mama’s Day - Nick Cannon explains how he really spends Mother’s Day

Nick Cannon is setting the record straight on how he approaches Mother’s Day, and it is far more grounded than many might assume.

Speaking on the May 2 episode of The TMZ Podcast, the 45-year-old entertainer said the day is kept simple in his household, centered around family rather than public assumptions about his personal life.

“I’m spending time with my mother,” Cannon said. “It’s Mother’s Day, it’s not Baby Mama’s Day.”

The TV host, who has 12 children with six different women, including Mariah Carey, Brittany Bell, Abby De La Rosa, Bre Tiesi, LaNisha Cole, and Alyssa Scott, explained that he does make sure the mothers of his children are acknowledged, but in a very family-focused way.

He shared that most of the gifting and celebration comes directly from the children themselves, with his help guiding the process.

“I appreciate them, but they get stuff from the kids,” he said. “I try to make whatever the gift is custom, that the kids are a part of it, but it’s always nice. They’re not going to get the same thing because they don’t have the same kids.”

Cannon also addressed the idea that Mother’s Day might be complicated in his situation, saying people often assume it is more stressful than it actually is.

“Everybody always talks about, ‘Oh man, Mother’s Day must be crazy for you,’” he said. “It’s not really Mother’s Day that’s crazy.”

Instead, he pointed to other holidays as more intense, especially Valentine’s Day and Father’s Day.

“It’s Valentine’s Day,” he explained. “Ironically, it is Father’s Day because all the kids want to spend time with me. But Mother’s Day, I spend it with my mom or my grandma.”

His comments come shortly after he sparked conversation online when discussing different parenting approaches for his children.

During the same podcast appearance, Cannon spoke about raising his 15-year-old twins, Monroe and Moroccan, sharing that he allows more freedom for his son compared to his daughter.

“My son has been dating, and I’ve allowed it, I encouraged it,” he said.

When asked about his daughter Monroe, he was direct in his response. “No, absolutely not.”

He acknowledged the difference openly, adding that parenting does not always follow a one-size-fits-all approach.

“It’s absolutely a double standard,” he said. “I know I get in trouble a lot because I say things with my chest, but there is a difference when parenting a son and then when parenting a daughter.”
