Nick Cannon recently disclosed his remorse for not starting a family with Christina Milian during their brief romantic relationship.
The host of The Masked Singer and actor dated the 41-year-old singer and actress for two years after meeting on the set of the 2003 movie Love Don’t Cost a Thing. He admitted that they had discussed the possibility of having a family, but it never materialized.
During an interview with the Shade Room, shared on YouTube, Cannon mentioned, “If I say this, I know it’s gonna go viral.”
He further added, “But when Christina Milian and I were doing Love Don’t Cost a Thing, I remember when I found out she was pregnant [years later] … I was like, ‘Dang, man.’
The 42-year-old media personality went on to express his continued support for his former partner and her family.
“But I was so happy for her. I remember we [were] kids in love early on, and so we talked about that. But to each his own. Life plans it out. The universe gives it how it’s supposed to be given,” he said.
Previously, Christina recalled her shock upon discovering Nick’s infidelity by hacking into his phone.
Speaking to E! News in 2019, she said, “The next thing you know, I was reading [everything]. For, like, a month, I was reading messages.”
She further stated, “It was unreal that it was happening. He was living at my house. … It was just like, ‘Wait, under my roof this is happening?’ It just kind of blew me away.”
The Falling Inn Love actress, who has children with ex-husband The Dream and boyfriend Matt Pokora, was filming in Romania at the time of the incident and had to bide her time before confronting Nick in person.
She explained, “I was like, ‘I cannot bust him when I am away. I need to bust him in person, so in the meantime, I’m gonna get my intel, make sure that this is for real for real.’
Milian added, “And it was for real, so it was enough. … I wanted to be able to see him in person, go over it — not like it would change anything — but part of me was like, ‘He was my first love.’
Cannon eventually moved on with a string of other partners, including Mariah Carey, and he is currently a proud father of 12 children with different women.
