On CNN’s broadcast of New Year’s Eve Live in Times Square on Saturday, December 31, Anderson Cooper and Andy Cohen put Nick Cannon in the hot seat.
Cohen jokingly remarked that Cannon, who recently welcomed his 12th child into the world, seemed to be “single-handedly repopulating the Earth,” before inquiring about his plans for the future.
“Clearly, I don’t have a plan,” Canon said. “Honestly man, it’s just so much joy and elation that I have, the family that I have, and I embrace it. I love it, and I don’t have a plan. That should have been clear from the jump.”
Cooper then asked, “A vasectomy?”
“Is that what you want me to get?” Cannon retorted. “It’s my body, my choice.”
Moving quickly from a potentially uncomfortable situation, Cohen asked the Masked Singer host if he had any advise for “any new fathers out there” this year.
“Just operate out of love,” Cannon explained. “I mean, some people may say that’s what got us here in the first place, but that’s what I would always do, and always do it with a smile.”
Cannon welcomed baby Halo Marie with Alyssa Scott just over one year after the tragic passing of their son, Zen.
“December 14 2022. Our lives are forever changed. Zen is in every breath I take. I know his spirit was with us in the room that morning. I know he is watching down on us. He shows me signs everyday. I will hold onto this memory forever,” Scott wrote via social media on Wednesday, December 14.
“I will remember the sound of Nicks voice saying ‘it’s a girl’ and the look of everything we’ve been through flash across his face,” she continued. I will remember the sound of her crying out with her first breath and feeling her heartbeat against mine. My sweet girl, I got my surprise!! We love you Halo Marie Cannon!”
