Nick Cannon is navigating the complexities of fatherhood on Thanksgiving as he balances spending time with his 12 children across multiple households while giving back at a Los Angeles charity event.

The “Masked Singer” host, 44, helped serve 4,000 turkey dinners to the homeless at the Los Angeles Mission’s annual Thanksgiving outreach on Wednesday, where he also spoke about his holiday plans.

“It’s very complicated. I’m a busy man on Thanksgiving,” Cannon told People. “I’ve got a bunch of dinners that I’ve got to go to. I’m going to be full by the end of the day, but everybody specializes in certain things… so I know every house that needs to have the things that I really like.”

Cannon, the father of 12 children with six different women, noted some of his go-to Thanksgiving dishes: “Some people got good sweet potato pie, some people got amazing fried turkey.”

The entertainer shares 13-year-old twins Moroccan and Monroe with his ex-wife, singer Mariah Carey.

With Brittany Bell, he has three children—7-year-old Golden, 3-year-old Powerful Queen, and 2-year-old Rise.

His children with Abby De La Rosa include twin sons Zion and Zillion, 3, and a 2-year-old daughter, Beautiful.

Cannon also shares son Legendary Love, 2, with Bre Tiesi, and Onyx, 2, with LaNisha Cole. Lastly, he and Alyssa Scott welcomed a daughter named Halo, who is turning 2 in December.

The couple mourned the loss of their 5-month-old son Zen, who passed away in December 2021 due to brain cancer.
