While chatting withEntertainment Tonight, the 42-year-oldMasked Singerhost and father to 12 kids was asked if he is done having babies after welcoming his 12th child, daughterHalo Marie Cannon, with modelAlyssa Scottin December.
“Yeah, yeah, yeah,” Cannon toldET, though he added that more kids could still be in the cards.
“God decides when we’re done, but I believe I definitely got my hands full,” he said. “And I’m so focused. I’m locked in. But when I’m 85, you never know. I might.”

Cannon explained to the outlet that juggling being a father to 12 kids, along with his several jobs, is all about balance.
“Everybody thinks it’s time management. It’s energy management,” he said. “Once we’re all aligned, the flow is a lot easier. If there’s any kind of low frequencies or dissension in there, that’s what messes up the scheduling,” he said.
“As long as we’re all on the same page and we all got the same goal — to be the best parents we could possibly be — that works and then the scheduling is the scheduling,” Cannon continued.
He also said that his ultimate goal as a father is just to make sure his kids have a bright future.
“It’s a blessing, man. Like, hopefully, because of what I am able to do, my kids can do whatever they want to do, to be able to be in a position that if they want to be a nuclear physicist, I know somebody at an Ivy League school that I could [hit up],” Cannon said.
“If they want to go into the military, if they want to be artists, if they want to be actors, it’s a thing where we have the capability,” he added. “Let’s start talking about it now so we can help your dreams come true.”
