Bre Tiesi Says She’ll Leave Nick Cannon If He Has a 13th Child: “That’s Where I Draw the Line”

Bre Tiesi has spent years defending her unconventional relationship with Nick Cannon, but the Selling Sunset star says there is one thing that could make her walk away from the father of her child: another baby.

During an appearance on Angela Yee’s Lip Service podcast, Tiesi opened up about her relationship with Cannon, explaining that although she loves him and considers him her life partner, she has established a firm boundary when it comes to expanding his already enormous family.

Cannon, who has fathered 12 children with six women, has become one of entertainment’s most recognizable examples of unconventional family arrangements. His relationships, co-parenting responsibilities and willingness to discuss having children with multiple partners have generated years of headlines.

But Tiesi, who shares a son named Legendary Love with the television host and entertainer, says she has reached her limit.

The reality star made it clear that her relationship with Cannon is not necessarily defined by traditional expectations of marriage or exclusivity. However, she also indicated that her acceptance of their existing family structure should not be mistaken for unlimited tolerance of whatever happens next.

For Tiesi, a 13th child would cross that boundary.

Her remarks have sparked fresh discussion about the couple’s relationship, particularly because Tiesi has consistently defended Cannon against criticism over his large family and their nontraditional romantic arrangement.

Bre Tiesi Says Nick Cannon Is Her Life Partner

One of the most revealing aspects of Tiesi’s podcast appearance was how she described her connection with Cannon.

Despite the unusual nature of their relationship, Tiesi said she genuinely loves him and views him as her life partner.

That description is significant because the two have never presented themselves as a conventional married couple. Cannon has children with several other women, and Tiesi has previously discussed the freedom and independence she values within their arrangement.

Nevertheless, she has repeatedly rejected the idea that their relationship lacks emotional depth simply because it doesn’t resemble a traditional partnership.

Her latest comments reinforce that distinction.

Tiesi appears comfortable acknowledging that Cannon’s personal life involves multiple co-parenting relationships. What she is no longer willing to accept, according to her remarks, is the possibility of him introducing another child into that structure.

The difference is important.

She isn’t necessarily demanding that Cannon rewrite the past or abandon his responsibilities to the children he already has. Instead, she is drawing a line around future decisions that would affect their relationship.

And in a family where another pregnancy could instantly become national entertainment news, that boundary is likely to attract considerable attention.

Nick Cannon Already Has 12 Children

Cannon’s family has been a frequent subject of public discussion for years.

His children include twins Moroccan and Monroe, whom he shares with former wife Mariah Carey; sons Golden Sagon and Rise Messiah and daughter Powerful Queen with Brittany Bell; twins Zion Mixolydian and Zillion Heir and daughter Beautiful Zeppelin with Abby De La Rosa; son Legendary Love with Tiesi; and daughter Onyx Ice Cole with LaNisha Cole.

He also shares children with Alyssa Scott. Their son Zen died in December 2021 after being diagnosed with a brain tumor, and they later welcomed daughter Halo Marie.

Altogether, Cannon has fathered 12 children, including Zen, whose death he and Scott have publicly mourned.

The number has become so closely associated with Cannon’s public image that he frequently faces questions about whether he intends to have more children.

His family arrangements have also attracted scrutiny over the practical challenges of dividing time, attention and parenting responsibilities among children living in different households.

Cannon has repeatedly emphasized his commitment to fatherhood, while the mothers of his children have described their own experiences with the arrangement in different ways.

Tiesi’s latest comments suggest that even within a relationship built around an unconventional family structure, expectations and limits can change.

Why a 13th Baby Would Be Different

Tiesi’s statement is notable because she entered motherhood with Cannon already aware that he had children with other women.

Their son Legendary was born in June 2022, during a period when Cannon’s expanding family was receiving intense media attention.

Tiesi has previously explained that she made her own decisions about their relationship and did not need outsiders to approve of them.

She has also defended the arrangement against people who assume she must be unhappy, financially dependent or waiting for Cannon to become a traditional monogamous partner.

That history makes her newly stated boundary especially interesting.

Rather than rejecting the entire structure of their relationship, Tiesi appears to be saying that the existing arrangement is one thing, but expanding it further would be another.

The distinction could reflect the emotional and practical realities of raising a child while sharing a partner who already has numerous parental responsibilities.

However, Tiesi’s comments should not be interpreted as confirmation that Cannon is planning another pregnancy or that another woman is currently expecting his child.

No such development has been established by the podcast remarks.

Her statement concerns what she says she would do if that situation arose.

“I’m a One and Done”

Tiesi also revealed that she has no intention of having another child herself.

The 35-year-old said she is taking precautions to avoid another pregnancy and considers her family complete with Legendary.

“Never again, never,” she said. “It’s a no. I’m a one and done.”

Her decision is tied to the demands of motherhood and maintaining her career. Tiesi explained that even with one child, she sometimes feels guilty about not having enough hours in the day to balance parenting and professional responsibilities.

That experience appears to influence how she views Cannon’s much larger family.

She questioned how someone who already divides his time among so many children could reasonably add another baby to the equation.

“There’s only so much time in a day,” Tiesi said during the October 6 podcast episode.

Her concern is less about the number itself than what another child would mean for the attention Cannon can devote to the family he already has.

Their Relationship Works Because They Value Independence

Tiesi also explained why she believes her relationship with Cannon has survived despite the criticism.

She described their connection as something resembling a “twin flame,” saying they share similar personalities and understand each other’s need for freedom.

Tiesi emphasized that she earns her own money and doesn’t consider herself financially dependent on Cannon.

That independence, she suggested, allows her to maintain a relationship that might be uncomfortable for someone who expects a more conventional arrangement.

She doesn’t see herself as someone waiting for Cannon to become a different person.

Instead, she says she has accepted their relationship for what it is, while maintaining the ability to leave if her boundaries are crossed.

Her comments also challenge the assumption that accepting a non-monogamous arrangement means accepting every future decision a partner makes.

For Tiesi, the relationship can remain unconventional without becoming limitless.

Bre Has Also Acknowledged Tension With Cannon’s Other Children’s Mothers

The podcast remarks follow other candid comments Tiesi has made about the difficulties of managing relationships within Cannon’s extended family.

During a September appearance on E!’s Hot Goss, Tiesi acknowledged that her relationships with some of the other mothers have been challenging.

She said she would like to have closer connections with them but that previous attempts had not produced the relationships she hoped for.

Rather than continuing to force those interactions, Tiesi said she would prefer to step back and allow Cannon to help create opportunities for the children to build relationships with their siblings.

Her priority, she explained, is ensuring Legendary has a connection to his brothers and sisters, regardless of whether the adults are particularly close.

The comments suggest that Cannon’s family structure involves more than simply coordinating schedules. It also requires navigating multiple households and relationships among adults who may not always agree.

Cannon Has Said 12 Children Are Enough for Now

Interestingly, Cannon has recently suggested that he isn’t actively trying to expand his family.

In an interview with Us Weekly, he reflected on his upbringing in a large, unconventional family and said he had long imagined himself becoming the father of 12 children.

He described fatherhood as something deeply connected to his personal identity and spoke about the activities and responsibilities that fill his schedule.

When asked about the possibility of a 13th child, Cannon indicated that he was satisfied with 12 for the moment.

“Right now, 12 is good,” he said.

That statement does not amount to a permanent commitment to stop having children.

But it suggests that Tiesi’s stated boundary and Cannon’s current public position are not necessarily in conflict.

As of October 9, there has been no verified announcement that Cannon is expecting another child or that Tiesi has ended their relationship.

Could a 13th Child Really End Their Relationship?

Tiesi’s warning is unusually direct, particularly considering how openly she has defended Cannon in the past.

But her comments should not be mistaken for an announcement that the couple is currently separating.

She repeatedly emphasized that she loves Cannon, considers him her life partner and envisions their relationship continuing long-term.

The potential breakup she described is conditional.

If Cannon fathers another child, she says she would leave.

Until that happens, she appears committed to maintaining their relationship and raising Legendary together.

The remarks nevertheless reveal an important shift in how Tiesi is publicly discussing their future. Rather than simply defending their family arrangement against criticism, she is now explaining where her personal limits lie.

For years, Cannon’s expanding family has been treated as a source of entertainment headlines, social-media jokes and public fascination. Tiesi’s comments bring the conversation back to the practical realities of raising children, managing relationships and deciding how much time a parent can realistically devote to each household.

She isn’t asking Cannon to change the family he already has.

But she has made clear that she doesn’t want it to grow any larger.

And although she still calls Cannon her life partner, she has identified one decision that could change that.

Nick Cannon may have 12 children, but according to Bre Tiesi, baby No. 13 could cost him their relationship.
