There are moments when a public figure’s polish gives way, offering a glimpse of the person underneath. For the “Love Don’t Cost A Thing” actor, it happened in a brief pause that revealed not chaos, but the weight of a life far larger than the one he once imagined.
Nick Cannon didn’t expect a moment of light comedy to spark such a revealing conversation, but that’s precisely what happened during his June 19, 2025, appearance on “The Really Good Podcast.”
As he and host Bobbi settled into a yoga session and a wide-ranging discussion about psychedelics, marriage, and parenting, Nick confidently began listing his children — until he suddenly faltered. The longtime entertainer managed to name ten before realizing he had forgotten two, a slip he laughed off as he tried to reconstruct the full roll call.
