Nick Cannon is asked if he regrets never getting Kim Kardashian pregnant

Nick Cannon is no stranger to impregnating women - but he had an interesting answer when asked if he regretted not having a child with the one and only Kim Kardashian.

Cannon, who has 12 children with six different women, was recently being interviewed on The Bootleg Kev Podcast when the topic of Kim Kardashian came up.

And it turns out that the former America's Got Talent host had dated Kardashian back when they were in their mid 20s.

When the topic of children first came up on the podcast, Cannon insisted he was sticking with his 'dirty dozen' for the foreseeable future.

With regards to whether or not he regretted not getting Kardashian pregnant, Cannon told his interviewer: "You're trying to go viral!"

Defending his line of questioning, Bootleg Kev said: "If there was ever anyone you could have put a bun in the oven, it could have been the billionaire."

Cannon replied: "You know what? I'm going to leave that one alone.

"I'm tired of going viral every week! They got mad at me about what I said about Taylor Swift."

For those who missed it, a few weeks ago Cannon generated a lot of buzz online for comments he made about Taylor Swift.

Cannon was being interviewed on The Howard Stern Show when Swift, who has reportedly split from boyfriend Joe Alwyn, came up.

Seeing an opportunity for another addition to his brood, Cannon told Stern: "I'm all in. First of all, she's an amazing songwriter. What I do love about Taylor Swift is that she has been so vulnerable and open with all of her music.

"Me and Taylor’s numbers are very similar when we’re talking about being in these streets. So, I think she would relate to me very well."

If Cannon did have a child with Swift - and big emphasis on 'if' here - it would be his thirteenth child.

Aside from sharing 11-year-old twins Monroe and Moroccan with Mariah Carey, he is also dad to Rise, six months old, Powerful Queen, two and Golden, six, with Brittany Bell.

The list continues with Beautiful, four months, and Zion and Zillion, both one, with Abby De La Rosa.

He is also father to Halo, three months old, and the late Zen (who tragically died in December 2021) with Alyssa Scott and also Legendary Love, eight months, with Bre Tiesi and Onyx, six months, with LaNisha Cole.

So needless to say, Cannon is well versed in procreation.

Whether or not he regrets failing to knock up Kardashian, he's keeping mom about. No pun intended.
