Uh-oh... Nick Cannon has hinted that he might be expecting his 13th child, just months after welcoming his 12th baby. Time to cue the memes...

The 42-year-old America's Got Talent host and rapper only just welcomed the latest addition to his brood - Halo Marie Cannon - on December 14 last year with Alyssa Scott.

So far, Cannon is also father to sons Rise Messiah, 10 weeks, and Golden Sagon, five, and daughter Powerful Queen, 23 months, with model Brittany Bell. He also shares 11-year-old twins Monroe and Moroccan with ex-wife Mariah Carey, daughter Beautiful Zeppelin, six weeks, and twins Zion and Zillion, 18 months, with Abby De La Rosa.

Cannon is also a father to Legendary Love, five months, with model Bre Tiesi and daughter Onyx Ice Cole, three months, with model LaNisha Cole. One of his sons, Zen - who he also shared with Scott - sadly passed away at five months old in 2021 following a battle with cancer.

Though, Cannon doesn't appear to be finishing up procreating any time soon, as he seems to have hinted that he may possibly be expecting his 13th child. Taking to his Twitter account, the doting dad tweeted: "EXPECT some big news tomorrow… [...]" followed by a pair of eyes and a baby bottle emoji.

Of course, this post was met with thousands of comments poking fun at Cannon (who always seems to take them as a good sport). "We already know it's baby number 5654465445668642906326789," someone wrote.

A further comment read: "It better not be a maternity shoot!"

"The first thing I thought was … it better not be another kid [...]," another user added.

Despite being a loving father, Cannon has been open about the difficulties he has when trying to spend time with his many children. The Masked Singer host admitted on Paramount+'s The Checkup with Dr. David Agus that he finds it challenging to divide his time properly with his big family.

"Being a father of multiple kids, it's always the biggest guilt on me, is that I don't get to spend enough time with all my children," he shared during an episode. "One 'cause I'm constantly working, and two because I'm just spread thin."

Then, on New Year's Eve Cannon appeared on CNN's New Year's Eve Live broadcast where he was quizzed on whether he'd be getting the snip after having so many kids in quick succession. "Clearly, I don’t have a plan," Cannon told the hosts. "Honestly, it's really just so much joy and elation that I have for the family that I have and I embrace it and I love it, but I don't have a plan. That should have been clear from the jump."

He then added that he will decide if he will get a vasectomy when the time is right, saying: "This is my body, my choice!"
