Nick Cannon: “Family Comes First”

America’s Got Talent host, Nick Cannon recently sat down with PARADE to open up about his 18-month-old twins Monroe and  Morrocan with wife Mariah Carey and his difficult year of health issues.

On balancing family life with a busy schedule.
“Family comes first. That’s really what it is, and then everything else kind of works around that. As long as we prioritize and make sure our kids and each other are first, then our occupations come after that, even though we’re extremely busy. We take the time out to make sure we focus on each other when we need to.”

On who the twins are growing up to be like: him or Carey.
“We’ve got two, so I think we kind of got a little bit of each of us. My daughter is probably more like me, and my son is more like my wife in certain areas. But then obviously, my daughter is definitely into feminine, prissy, glamorous things like her mother.”

On how he’s feeling after a year of health issues.
“I feel great. I’m in tip-top shape. It was scary at the top of the year, but once you start doing what you’re supposed to do, you’re good.”

On helping Carey handle her feud with Minaj.
“I don’t need to give her any advice, because my wife is the strongest and classiest woman I’ve ever met. She knows how to handle herself extremely well.”
