At this point, talking about having children seems to be <a href="https://vt.co/entertainment/nick-cannon-says-hes-all-in-to-have-his-13th-baby-with-taylor-swift">Nick Cannon</a>'s defining personality trait. The 42-year-old TV personality - who, as a father-of-12, is the real-life version of Steve Martin's character in the movie Cheaper By The Dozen - has opened up about how he's felt pressured by society to stop procreating. Hopping onto The Howard Stern Show this week, he reacted to the rumors that singer <a href="https://vt.co/entertainment/celebrity/taylor-swift-and-joe-alwyn-split-after-6-years-and-everyones-making-the-same-joke">Taylor Swift is single again after six years</a>, telling Stern whether not he would he'd be open to having a baby with the singer now that she's a free agent. Cannon speaks about potentially having a baby with Swift: [[jwplayerwidget||https://cdn.jwplayer.com/videos/6ZJ4YO4u-YXhMkIor.mp4||6ZJ4YO4u]] "I'm all in. First of all, she's an amazing songwriter. What I do love about Taylor Swift is that she has been so vulnerable and open with all of her music," he said, adding: "Me and Taylor's numbers are very similar when we're talking about being in these streets. So, I think she would relate to me very well." The 42-year-old father-of-12 then also opened up about how society has reacted to his choice to keep fathering children, admitting to Stern that the comments and pressure from others does affect him. "It's a scary thing. I felt pressured. I felt the world was trying to make me get a vasectomy. I don't operate well under pressure. My body, my choice," he said. "You ever know what it's like to be walking down the street and just a random stranger be like, 'Man, you need to go get snipped?' "I'm like, 'I don't even know you,'" he added.

At the time, he spoke to TV presenter Andy Cohen a few hours before the city rang in the New Year, with Cohen joking that Cannon was "single-handedly populating the earth." Cohen then asked Cannon: "What's your plan? A vasectomy?" Cannon then responded: "Is that what you want me to get? This is my body, my choice."

Model Brie Tiesi has five-month-old Legendary Love with Cannon, and model LaNisha Cole has a three-month-old daughter named Onyx Ice Cole with the TV personality. <img class="wp-image-1263187127 size-full" src="https://img.vt.co/2023/01/2AH2W48-scaled.jpg" alt="" width="2560" height="1657" />[[imagecaption|| Nick Cannon, Golden Cannon and Brittany Bell (on of this baby mamas) pictured in 2022.
