DJ and media personality Abby De La Rosa is opening up about life within her uniquely structured family with Nick Cannon.

During a recent appearance on the Lovers by Shan Podcast, hosted by certified sexologist Shan Boodram Brady, Abby spoke candidly about co-parenting with Cannon. She shares twin sons Zion and Zillion and daughter Beautiful Zeppelin with Cannon. While their children have relationships with their many half-siblings, she revealed that she does not maintain personal ties with the other mothers.

“When you see the kids all together, which I’ve been very, very blessed to experience that numerous times, it really is like, ‘OK, my ego can’t win in this. The kids deserve to know each other,’” De La Rosa said.


Cannon, a television host and producer, is a father to multiple children across several relationships. De La Rosa emphasized that although the children are encouraged to bond, the adults lead separate lives.

“There’s a beautiful aspect to it, especially when you see the kids,” she explained. “Now, as for the mothers? Don’t know. We don’t have any communication with each other. We all live very separate lives and we’re all very individualized. There’s never no family gatherings or Sunday dinners.”

Instead, she shared, Cannon takes the lead in coordinating time between siblings. He arranges visits and playdates, while parents and caregivers handle schedules. According to De La Rosa, the structure works for everyone involved.

“We all live very individual lives, so in a sense, it feels monogamous,” she said, describing the emotional clarity she feels within the arrangement.

Later in the conversation, De La Rosa addressed speculation about labels often attached to Cannon’s romantic life. While some have described him as polyamorous, she noted that he does not claim that term. She also avoids defining their relationship in rigid terms when speaking with their children.

“Daddy loves many people, daddy has a lot of love to give, that’s just who daddy is,” she said.
