The 42-year-old Wild 'N Out host discussed on Dr. Laura Berman's The Language of Love podcast how having a dozen children, whom he shares with six different women, was a calling from God.
Cannon added;
"I've never heard that clarity, but I've heard "Yo, you're going to be a father of many," as they joked about his story being similar to that of Abraham in the Bible. Your lineage and offspring are going to accomplish great things because of your influence.
The actor also told Berman;
"The more the merrier!" that he is open to having more children.
Berman once inquired,
"Did God tell you to have all these children?"
Canon shared that when people ask him if he's finished having children, he responds, "Only God can let me know when I'm done," and that he has been in trouble before for saying that.
"As much as I was open to every single child that I have," adding, "I can't say the majority of them were planned."
"I would have been like f**k out of here if you told me in 2012, when I was still married and just diagnosed with Lupus, that 10 years from now... that I would have 12 children," she said.
"There's no way in the world that I would ever plan that," he continued.
