After sharing the news, Cannon said that though some people have questioned his “nonconventional” family and “unorthodox” lifestyle, his No. 1 priority will always be his children.
“I’m a father, first and foremost,” he told PEOPLE. “There’s a lot of guilt that I feel and I talk about this in therapy all the time. It’s rooted in not having enough time to spend with my loved ones, specifically my children, because I have a lot of children. I’m also spread so thin in my work because that’s how I cope. That’s how I deal with things. I have several jobs and several shows and movies and music, all that stuff. And I call myself a provider for many, but one thing no matter how much money I generate, one thing I can’t generate is time.”
