Nick Cannon has a regret about parenthood — but it’s not what you’d expect.

As the father of 12 continues to grow his family, he’s beginning to think about what could have been — in the most Nick way possible, LOLz! While appearing on the Stepping Into the Shade Room podcast last Friday, host Angelica Nwandu asked the 42-year-old if there was anyone he’d dated in the past that he wishes he “would have had a baby” with, and he didn’t shy away from speaking his truth! The Masked Singer host playfully responded:

“You’re trying to get me in trouble … If I say this, I know it’s going to go viral.”

He continued:

“I always, I mean, even when you think about it, like, when Christina Milian and I were doing Love Don’t Cost A Thing, like, I remember when I found out she was pregnant [years later] … I was like, ‘Dang, man,’ but I was so happy for her.”

He added:

“I remember we was [sic] 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.”

Cannon and Milian memorably dated for two years after shooting their 2003 romantic comedy, before he wed ex-wife Mariah Carey in 2008 and welcomed his first children, Moroccan and Monroe Cannon in 2011.

For Milian’s part, she settled down with ex-husband The-Dream in 2009, later welcoming daughter Violet in 2010. As of now, she’s married to French singer Matt Pokora, with whom she shares sons Isaiah and Kenna.

Maybe in a parallel universe Nick and Christina DID have a kid together! All we know is, as it is, he’s got his hands full!
