Couple separated early
James Cannon was married to an accountant Beth Gardner.
Nothing is revealed about their love story and wedding details. But they parted ways as a couple when his son was a child.
They never reconciled with each other. After separation, she moved to North Carolina, and their son lived with him only.
His son was raised by him and his grandfather, who both of them call 'Dad'. He and his father took all the responsibilities and duties of him.
However, his son had to balance days to live with his mother and father.
Since they lived in California and North Carolina, he remained in close contact with his mother despite his parents' broken relationship.
His mother, too, used to check up upon him through calls so that she won't miss out on anything happening in his life.
Has a considerable influence in his son's life
His son Nick Cannon has spent his childhood with his brothers, grandparents, and father. Growing up, he has been influenced by these persons.
He said in an interview,
'My Father instilled in me how to be a man.'
At the same time, it had been challenging for him to be brought up as his son.
Since his father was a minister, he was refrained from watching anything on TV or listening to the radio when he was in elementary and junior high school.
He had to dress decently and was not allowed to wear fancy clothes like other kids used to wear.
Children
The couple had three kids together. All of them are boys whose names are Nick, Gabriel, and Reuben Cannon.
They all are into music, but two of the brothers avoid the limelight.
Married a songwriter
His son got married to a songwriter Mariah Carey on the 30th of April 2008. The wedding ceremony was held at his private place on Windermere Island in the Bahamas.
After three years of their marriage, his wife delivered fraternal twins on the same date of their marriage Anniversary.
The kids include one daughter and a son. The pair named them Monroe Cannon and Moroccan Scott. Their daughter was named after a great actress, Marilyn Monroe.
Since Nick proposed to his wife in her Moroccan-style room, they decided to name their son Moroccan.
The couple was together for six years until they decided to file for divorce in the year 2014. However, reports suggest that they were reconciled briefly in 2015.
In 2016, they got divorced officially.
Had one son with a girlfriend
After he divorced, he was romantically involved with girlfriend Brittany Bell, a Model by occupation.
Together the two had one son named Golden Sagon Cannon, who came into this world on the 21st of February, 2017.
He says he encourages his son to have as many children as possible
James believes children are blessings, and that is the reason he says he encourages his son to make as much money as he can and have as many children as he can.
He says he has no issues with how many women his son has gotten pregnant, but the only question to him will be if he has asked all the right questions and if he got the right answers and if he has put them in writing.
And if he has done all of that, he can bring as many grandkids as he can.
He further stated that if his son Nick can provide his kids with culture, love, God and life, then he would say if a woman is worth having s*x with, she is worth having a baby with.
He admitted to teaching his sons not to sleep with women they will not have babies with. Nick is a father of eight children, who he shares with five different women.
James said it's important for him to spend quality time with his grandkids, and he is also very supportive of his son's decision and wishes the best for all women.
James was 17 when he became a father for the first time. According to him, Beth (Nick's mom) got pregnant just a week after they met.
He said he met Beth on the 1st of January, and by the 17th, she got pregnant, but since he was young, he didn't want to get married.
James says he is grateful that she let Nick stay with him and his mom at two months old. He later went on to marry another woman with whom he welcomed four sons.
He admitted to not having any messy issues with both women, and they share a friendly bond.
