Cannon reflected on how his romantic history has impacted his life in a series of tweets earlier this week.

Not only does Nick Cannon have a dozen children in his life to take care of, but the California native also has six baby mamas to consider when making major life decisions. Mariah Carey, Brittany Bell, Abby De La Rosa, Bre Tiesi, LaNisha Cole, and Alyssa Scott are the women he co-parents with. Understandably, his relationship with some appears to be stronger than others. He and De La Rosa work together at The Daily Cannon, but Nick and Carey are known to have their spats. Elsewhere, Cole was recently left to deal with watching the actor forget their daughter's name during an interview.

He's obviously not perfect. Still, the 42-year-old tries his best to show up for his kids. He even rented out Six Flags to celebrate his eldest set of twins' birthdays. He shares much of his life and has always been candid about how being a father of 12 impacts his busy schedule. Cannon has also regularly been outspoken about his love life, as we saw on Twitter this past Thursday (May 4). In the early morning hours, he used the platform to get a few things off his chest. Mostly he spoke about past romances that have shaped him into the man we see before us today.

Nick Cannon Thanks His Former Lovers on Twitter

"Shoutout to all my toxic people that ever broke up with somebody because they thought somebody was about to break up with their somebody," he wrote. It remains unclear if Cannon was being sarcastic and laughing at the complicated nature of modern dating, or dishing about a situation he's been experiencing in his own life. "To all my exes, thanks for the toxic origin story," Cannon added in another tweet an hour later. "Gladly turning into the villain all y'all want me to be!"

As AllHipHop notes, Nick Cannon has been linked to some beautiful famous faces aside from his baby mamas. The list includes the likes of Kim Kardashian, Christina Milan, and Selita Ebanks, just to name a few. Do you have any exes who have notably contributed to your origin story?
