The 41-year-old actor was seen with son Golden, five, as well as daughter Powerful Queen, age one, for Men’s Health.
Cannon has six children: twins Moroccan and Monroe, 11, with ex-wife Mariah Carey; Golden, five, and Powerful Queen, one, with Brittany Bell; and twins Zion Mixolydian and Zillion Heir, who will turn one later this month, with Abby De La Rosa.
His seventh child, son Zen, whom he had with Alyssa Scott, passed away just two months after he was born. In January Nick announced he is expecting an eighth child, this time with model Bre Tiesi.

Cannon was also seen with his daughter Powerful Queen as he held onto gold and silver Mylar balloons.

‘Kevin Hart’s my best friend, and he’s the one I’m always talking to,’ he said.
‘We talk about fatherhood quite a bit. We were on Real Husbands Of Hollywood and put ourselves into fictitious scenarios. Robin Thicke is an awesome dad. Even Ken Jeong. We talk about fatherhood, the silliness of it all.’
And Nick said that he is involved with all his little ones.
‘Contrary to popular belief, I’m probably engaged throughout my children’s day, more often than the average adult can be,’ said the star.
‘If I’m not physically in the same city with my kids, I’m talking to them before they go to school via FaceTime and stuff. And then when I am [in the same city, I’m] driving my kids to school, like making sure I pick ’em up. All of those things, making sure [I’m there for] all extracurricular activities. I’m involved in everything from coaching to having guitar lessons with my daughter every week.’

In the shoot, children’s toys littered both the bathtub and the floor surrounding the white porcelain.

Cannon opened up about living his life in the public eye in the public eye in the accompanying interview.
‘I’ve lived my life in the public eye in a way where it’s very authentic,’ he remarked. ‘I kind of put it all out there. All my emotions, all my understanding or the lack thereof, as vulnerable as I could be—I’m just like, look, I’m trying to figure it out.’
He also talked about his feeling in the aftermath of his talk show being canceled saying that ‘everybody stumbles.’

‘I haven’t seen anybody do it perfect,’ he continued. ‘I take those stumbles as lessons learned and how to keep pushing along so you don’t stop. The only real failure is when you stop.’
Cannon also talked about his views on marriage and ‘traditional’ relationships.
‘I’ve seen where people believe a traditional household works, and [yet] there’s a lot of toxicity in that setting,’ he explained. ‘It’s not about what society deems is right. It’s like, what makes it right for you? What brings your happiness? What allows you to have joy and how you define family? We all define family in so many different ways.’
