He’s dated his fair share of Hollywood starlets and icons, and Nick Cannon is reflecting on his early 2000s romance with Christina Milian. The NCredible mogul has been a star since his teens, and over the years, he’s matched up with some of the hottest women in the industry, including his ex-wife, Mariah Carey. However, before he and the “Fantasy” hitmaker welcomed twins, Cannon and Christina Milian were the couple to watch. They linked in 2003 and were photographed from one red carpet to the next. Eventually, Cannon and Milian would part ways in 2005, and in a new interview, he reflected on what could have been.
Cannon is currently on the road for his Future Superstars Tour and took a minute to chat with The Shade Room. During the discussion, he was asked if there was anyone from his past he wished he had a baby with. Immediately, Cannon joked that he would get in trouble with this answer. “Everybody talks about having kids, that’s the thing,” Cannon said. “I think—ah! If I say this, I know this gonna go viral, but I always—when you think about it. When Christina Milian and I were doing Love Don’t Cost a Thing… I remember when I found out she was pregnant—did I have kids? I don’t know, I was like, ‘Dang, man.’”
Nick Cannon Is Happy For His Ex
Cannon and Milian starred in Love Don’t Cost a Thing in 2003, and she announced her pregnancy in 2009. She was married to The-Dream at the time. Cannon said he was sincerely happy for her, but it made him revisit their relationship. “I remember we was kids in love early on and so we talked about that,” Cannon added. “But to each his own. Life plans it out. The universe gives it how it’s supposed to be given.”
Milian admitted that she and Cannon broke up because of his repeated cheating. The Wild ‘N Out mogul also spoke on the demise of the romance, adding that he felt pressured to adhere to a certain standard. They’ve both moved on; Cannon has 12 children with six women, while Milian has three kids. She and The-Dream separated in 2009, just months after their wedding. After dating the likes of Jas Prince and (allegedly) Lil Wayne, Milian connected with singer Matt Pokora in 2017. They reportedly married in 2020 and welcomed two children together.
