In addition to his newest role as dad to twins with wife Mariah Carey, the busy Nick Cannon is the host of his own radio show, as well as the host of America’s Got Talent and co-star of the new comedy, Up All Night. Cannon talked to Parade.com about everything.
Here are some highlights:
Nick’s foray into fatherhood…
“Everything about it is wonderful, but it’s about having a connection and unconditional love. No matter how you’re feeling about yourself, you know that connection with your child is always going to be there.”
On deciding to share personal photos of the twins on their blog, DemBabies.com…
“We didn’t want to sell pictures to a big fancy magazine photo shoot. I didn’t want to have to put pictures out there, but we wanted to do it on our own terms and in a regular way. All the photos you see on our blog are just family photos in the same way anybody else would do with their children. I thought that if you could see our pictures every day, then it’s not going to be this big phenomenon to see what they look like or have the paparazzi chasing us. We’re the ones giving you the pictures.”
On their first Christmas as a family of four…
“We’ll celebrate it the same way we always do, but it will probably be a little bigger this year because our family is bigger. We’ll just go somewhere and chill out and just enjoy each other. I mean, my wife is Miss Christmas, so it’s definitely going to be festive!”
