Nick Cannon is taking time out as a busy father of 12 to pursue a degree in child psychology.
During a June 14 appearance on the “Language of Love” podcast, the “Masked Singer” host explained that he previously planned to get a general degree in psychology, but later decided to focus on child psychology specifically.
“I was already going to do a master’s degree in psychology and a doctorate. in divinity … Then I switched, instead of a master’s in psychology, now it’s more in child psychology,” she said, “because that’s my life.”
Cannon said she engages in psychology-related conversations “several times a day,” adding that she aims to make sure her children have “what they need from an emotional and developmental standpoint.”
“I’m studying the brain, at what point does sensory matter?” he said, offering an example of some of the topics and questions he has explored.
Cannon has made headlines over the years for his growing number of children. He welcomed his 12th child, Halo, with model Alyssa Scott in December. His children, who he shares with six women, range in age from 6 months to 12 years.
The “Wild ‘n Out” actor and host has spoken publicly about some of the challenges he’s faced in co-parenting a dozen children.
Last month, he revealed on his radio show, “The Daily Cannon,” that he mixed up Mother’s Day cards for the mothers of his children, accidentally sending a card to one woman meant for another.
“I tried my best, I really did,” he said at the time.
As for dating, Cannon said during an appearance on “The Howard Stern Show” in April that he (unsurprisingly) he doesn’t have much time for that.
“I’m not dating, I’m really just trying to focus on me and my kids,” she said. “My bandwidth doesn’t even allow me to be in that space.”
