Although they appear to be navigating their relationship with ease, Bre Tiesi recently shared that she maintains one firm boundary with her partner, Nick Cannon. In a candid discussion on the latest episode of Angela Yee's Lip Service podcast, the former Selling Sunset star described Cannon as her "life partner," yet she was clear about the specific circumstance that would force her to reconsider their future: the arrival of another child.
"I only have like one deal breaker. One. And if it ever happens, then I might be out," Tiesi explained. "If he has another baby."
Cannon, who is already a father to 12 children, shares one child with Tiesi and 11 others with five different women, including music icon Mariah Carey. Elaborating on her reasoning, Tiesi noted the logistical and emotional challenges of such a large family dynamic. "I just think, you know, there’s only so much time in a day. There’s so many kids. There’s so much going on. I don’t even want to add another one because I feel the guilt of not having enough time having a career. You got the Brady Bunch. We’re not doing 13."
This declaration follows comments made by Cannon over a year ago, where he suggested he was going to "press hold" on expanding his family further. At the time, he told PEOPLE that while he was enjoying his current life stage, he was not strictly opposed to the possibility of more children in the future. "I really don’t know. I’m being honest. I’m having so much fun in this space right now, and the way my bank account is set up, I’m going to press hold on this 12 for right now," he said. "But I was just speaking of three years from now [or] five years from now, who knows? I’m not against it."
Cannon has previously reflected on the unexpected nature of his journey into fatherhood, admitting that he never envisioned having such a large family. "There was a point in time where I was just like, ‘Nah, I’m done.’ And, then I was like, ‘Who am I to say that?’ It seemed like it was such an emphatic thing. I never imagined that I would have 12 kids. So, it’s one of those things where I love children. I love my life, and if it could keep going in the direction that it’s going, why not?"
