Nick Cannon quips he has 'super sperm' as six partners got pregnant despite birth control
Nick Cannon believes he has "super sperm" after speaking out about fathering 12 children in a recent interview.
Nick Cannon, 42, has fathered an amazing 12 children from six women and the TV presenter has now said he believes he has "super sperm".
The former America's Got Talent presenter claimed previously that he didn't use condoms and that his partners were on birth control.
Speaking on the Howie Mandel Does Stuff podcast, Nick said: "'I'm gonna be honest, I got some super sperm or something, 'cause I've practised birth control, and people still got pregnant.
"I'm trying to be as responsible as I possibly can, learning lessons…"
Probed if he was planning to have any more children, Nick added: "I guess… yeah? I don't wanna say yeah, and then, like, you know, it's the reproductive system… it could happen at any time... I'm good with my dozen."
Nick spoke about his reluctance to use contraception in a 2017 interview, speaking to Howard Stern about his reasoning.

The TV presenter also has a son, Legendary Love, nine months, with Selling Sunset star Bre Tiesi and a daughter Onyx Ice, six months, with LaNisha Cole.
Most recently he welcomed Halo Marie with Alyssa Scott in December, one year on from losing their son Zen to brain cancer.
When Zen was two months old, they noticed he had come down with a cough that wouldn't go away, and decided to have it checked out by doctors.
Speaking on The Nick Cannon show, he said: "I always noticed he had a cough and so I wanted to check it out.
"He had this interesting breathing and by the time he was two months, I noticed he had this nice-sized head too, we called it a Cannon's head.
"We didn’t think anything of it, but I wanted to take him to the doctor for his sinus and breathing."
After taking the newborn in for a "routine" checkup, they were told he had a malignant tumour and needed emergency surgery immediately.
He had also developed hydrocephalus, a condition where fluid builds up in the cavities of the brain causing the head to increase in size and ultimately putting pressure on the brain.
Zen, unfortunately, died on December 5, 2021, spending his last moments by the ocean.
