Bre Tiesi is getting candid about the emotional challenges of co-parenting with Nick Cannon, admitting that she sometimes feels jealous when he spends the holidays with his other children.
During an appearance on Paul C. Brunson’s We Need to Talk podcast, the Selling Sunset star shared her feelings about Cannon’s large family dynamic. While she understands the situation, certain moments—especially holidays—can be tough.
“Holidays Are Hard”—Tiesi on Navigating Co-Parenting with Cannon
“I think I’ve gotten jealous about … maybe, like, holidays. Holidays are hard, right?” Tiesi admitted.
She explained that her concern isn’t necessarily about herself but more about their 2-year-old son, Legendary.
“I’d be like, ‘OK, well, if you’re going to do this, can you take Leggie?’ And it’s not for me, I’m not jealous. Say they go on a trip and I’m like, ‘Well, that would have been nice. Could you have just brought Leggie with you guys?’ I’m looking more out for him … because I care and I want him to have a relationship with his siblings.”
Despite the complicated family structure, Tiesi hopes that as the kids get older, they will bond more and create lasting connections.
“At Some Point, It Will Be a Family Unit”
Tiesi acknowledged that Cannon’s children don’t interact as much now due to their ages, but she believes things will change in the future.
“I know at some point Nick will be able to take the kids and do what he wants to do with just the kids and make it more of like a family unit,” she said.
She also emphasized that she wants to keep the door open for a healthy relationship between all of Cannon’s children, regardless of her personal relationships with the other mothers.
“You don’t have to like me, we don’t have to have a relationship—I don’t need to at all, but I want you to know that I genuinely love and accept your kids, and they’re welcome in my home.”
Co-Parenting with Cannon’s Expanding Family
Tiesi also revealed that she is open to her son, Legendary, meeting his half-siblings and that she makes an effort to facilitate those interactions.
“Obviously, there are emotions involved, and I can’t help how other people feel,” she said. “But if I’m invited, if you are OK with me being around, I will happily bring Legendary. I will come and say hi. I will drop a gift, I will leave him, and I will come back.”
Cannon, known for his Wild ‘n Out empire, has a total of 12 children with six different women:
- Mariah Carey – Twins Moroccan & Monroe (13)
- Brittany Bell – Golden Sagon (7), Powerful Queen (3), Rise Messiah (2)
- Abby De La Rosa – Twins Zion Mixolydian & Zillion Heir (3), Beautiful Zeppelin (2)
- LaNisha Cole – Onyx Ice Cole (2)
- Alyssa Scott – Halo Marie (1), late son Zen (who passed in 2021)
Can Cannon Keep Up?
With such a large family, scheduling time with each child is undoubtedly a challenge, but Tiesi remains hopeful that all the siblings will build strong relationships over time.
As Cannon juggles his career and fatherhood, it remains to be seen how he will continue to navigate co-parenting dynamics with multiple families. But one thing is clear—Tiesi is committed to ensuring Legendary stays connected with his siblings.
