The actor, who has 12 children with six women, says more kids weren’t in the plans.
“We didn’t even talk about it,” Cannon revealed. “What we always talked about was having twins. Not necessarily twins. We wanted a boy and a girl. They just came as a blessing as twins. I think that was the traditional nuclear family. Boy, girl, dog, happy household. We didn’t ever really talk about more after that. We were happy just with Roc and Roe.”
