Nick Cannon Explains Why He Thinks Monogamy Isn’t Healthy for Relationships
If you’re curious about Nick Cannon’s views on monogamy and fatherhood, he opened up about both subjects during The Language of Love podcast with Dr. Laura Berman, via People. Specifically, Nick shut down the assumption that “most of these pregnancies were unplanned,” saying, “I’m never gonna say that. I’m going to take full responsibility. Any woman that I know that I have unprotected sex with, there’s the potential to have a child. So I feel like if I have unprotected sex with anyone I know—because one, I value everything about me so much, if I’ve gotten to that point where I say, ‘I can take off this condom,’ I’m gonna say, ‘She could be the mother of my child.’”
Nick noted that “every woman that I have a child with, there is definitely a conversation about, ‘Wow, how amazing would this be?’ I feel like every woman I have a child with are amazing mothers, and there was a thought process going into like, Man, she would be an amazing mother, she’s desired children, I can’t wait to see what type of mother she would be. So, in saying that, I would say that they’re all planned.”
Nick also explained his views on monogamy, saying that in his mind, someone is only “not single” if they’re married. “Married is not single. When you allow the government and paperwork to come in and say, ‘This is a bond, this is a covenant’…you’re not single. You can still make covenants without getting the government involved, where two people say, ‘We choose to be monogamous because we value this so much, we don’t want anyone to be a part of this energy we have,’ and I don’t feel like that’s healthy. I don’t think monogamy is healthy. I feel like that gets into the space of selfishness and ownership.”
Fair enough!
