Nick Cannon and Bre Tiesi have had their eighth child together. Monday, July 25, the model posted on Instagram that she had given birth to a boy in a “natural, drug-free home birth.”
Cannon, a 41-year-old TV star, already has seven children with four different women. We can safely say that he pays a lot of money for child support. The exact number can’t be worked out, but the amount is thought to be about $2.2 million a year.
Cannon had said on an episode of The Nick Cannon Show that he and Tiesi were going to have a baby:
“I’m going to be the best father I can be.”
Legendary is the name of the baby, who was born on June 28. In an Instagram post, Bre Tiesi talked about her experience by writing:
The 31-year-old also thanked her team for helping her have a safe delivery and told her fans that they could watch her birthing vlog on YouTube.
Details about Nick Cannon’s child support payments are looked at.
Goldie Schon, the Wild ‘N Out host’s family law lawyer and legal expert, told sources about Cannon’s child support. The lawyer says that Cannon has a unique arrangement because of his fame and huge income. She said that Cannon’s annual income gives the California court the “right to go against the typical child support guidelines.”
Schon says that the court uses DissoMaster to figure out how much child support to pay. This makes sure that the child not only lives the way the mother does, but also enjoys the lavish way of life of the father.
The lawyer also said that Nick Cannon’s estimated net worth of $20 million doesn’t matter when it comes to paying child support. His annual income, on the other hand, does. He or she said:
“If he makes between $3 million and $5 million a year, you need to figure out what it would take to keep the kids in the same lifestyle as both parents.”
When it comes to Cannon’s baby mama Abbey De La Rose, the lawyer said that the mother of twins Zilly and Zion already gets between $600,000 and $750,000 in child support. Cannon also pays for things like school and child care. Now that they are expecting their third child, Schon has calculated that the number will go up:
“When you add in her soon-to-be-born third child, she’ll probably be making a cool million a year.”
Schon also told Cannon that it would be cheaper for him to have another child with Rose than with another woman.
Cannon and Brittany Bell also have two children together. The lawyer thinks that he gives her about $60,000 a month in child support.
The family lawyer also said it was unlikely that Cannon would pay Mariah Carey child support because Carey makes more money than Cannon. Moroccan and Monroe, who are twins and are 11 years old, are raised by Cannon and Carey.
Since the Drumline star and Tiesi are now parents, he is thought to pay her $40,000 per month.
Nick Cannon pays about $2.2 million a year in child support, when you add up all the payments. Schon, on the other hand, has said that it’s almost impossible to guess how much each mother gets paid because that information isn’t in the public record.
