When Bre Tiesi joined Selling Sunset for series six, it was only natural that she would find herself at the heart of plenty of the drama. Not only does the model have a fiery personality, but she had also just welcomed her son - Legendary Love Cannon - with A-List polygamist Nick Cannon and was very protective over their relationship.
Then, during filming it was revealed that the actor and comedian had welcomed his ninth child (Legendary Love was his eighth) and since then Nick has fathered three more children bringing him up to a grande total of 12.
And from the midst of the internet came the surprising theory that Nick Cannon won't have to pay child support now that he has 12 kids. But it turns out that’s not entirely true...
There don’t seem to be any official records on this, but generally lawyers agree that no matter how many kids you welcome to the world, you still have to pay child support to their main caregiver, at least until the kids turn 16 or leave full-time education.
Nick first daughter Monroe Cannon – who he shares with singer Mariah Carey - was born 30 April 2011 as was her twin brother Moroccan. Then, following his divorce from Mariah, on 21 February 2017 his son Golden was born to model Brittany Bell who then welcomed baby number four, Powerful, in December 2020.
On 14 June 2021, Nick and Abby De La Rosa welcomed twins Zion and Zillion, followed by Zen on 23 June 2021 with model Alyssa Scott. Sadly Zen was born with a brain tumour and passed away shortly afterwards.
Selling Sunset’s Bre Tiesi welcomed Nick’s eighth child Legendary in July 2022. Speaking about their arrangement for childcare she admitted on the show, ‘There’s no legal agreement. I take care of myself and if my son needs something or we need something, I can ask. That’s all I have to do. Nick is not my sugar daddy.’
To be fair, with some of the commissions on these million-dollar properties, it doesn’t look like Bre is in any need of someone to help financially support her!
Baby number nine: Onyx was born 14 September 2022 to model Lanisha Cole, then Rise came just nine days later on 23 September 2022. He’s Nick and Brittany Bell’s third child together. Abby de la Rosa’s third child with Nick came on 11 November 2022 with the birth of Zeppelin.
The final baby, baby number 12 came when Nick and Alyssa Scott welcomed daughter Halo on 29 December 2022.
Bre Tiesi’s baby Legendary Love is now two years old and it’s clear that the model-turned-realtor couldn’t be happier with her little one and the situation between her and Nick Cannon, despite everything Chelsea Lazkani seems to be saying.
