Nick Cannon says his former wife Mariah Carey confronted him about his recent baby news.
"She came at me first about it, so it was actually easier," Cannon revealed. "I don't know how she heard about it, but she called me, and she was funny with it. She was like, 'Mhmm, I heard about you out here in these streets.'"
"[It was] never an 'oops baby,'" he clarified. "I've always wanted five kids ... Just because my marriage was over didn't mean I couldn't continue my family."
Us Weekly reported in November that Bell was pregnant and approaching the end of her second trimester. Cannon later confirmed on The Breakfast Club that Bell is expecting their first child.
"I've got a baby on the way ... God said be fruitful and multiply," he said before joking, "I'm doing the Lord's work ... Everybody get a baby! I'm passing them out."Cannon and Carey have remained friendly since their split in 2014, and continue to co-parent their 5-year-old twins, Monroe and Moroccan. Cannon told "Entertainment Tonight" this week that he, Carey and their kids will spend the holidays together.
"All fun, all love, you know what it is!" he said. "Holidays are mainly for kids anyway, when you think about it, and once you go from kids, it's all about family and love and that's what we're trying to spread."
The "You're Mine (Eternal)" singer shared a photo of the group on Instagram, writing, "Backstage at Christmas time with our beautiful children."
