In the May/June issue of Men’s Health, Cannon talked about being a father of eight and how he stays involved in each of his children’s lives.
“Contrary to popular belief, I’m probably engaged during the day with my kids, more often than the average adult,” she said.
“If I’m not physically in the same city as my kids, I talk to them before school through FaceTime and stuff. And then when I’m [in the same city, I’m] getting my kids to school, like making sure we pick them up.”
