Cannon said on Tuesday that the mothers of his children get along “amazing” even though he doesn’t “expect them” to.

“Everybody lives their own life, before me and after me,” he explained. “I think that’s how you keep the peace and [keep] everybody moving. Like, everybody [is] worried about themselves and not worried about what someone else is [doing]. As long as the kids are happy and they have the strongest understanding, I think that’s what makes sense. You gotta operate out of that.”

Cannon previously said that Carey has no problems with his ever-expanding family.

“She’s like, ’As long as you don’t bring none of that bulls—t to the Manor of Carey,’” he said during a May 2023 appearance on the “Jason Lee Show” podcast. “She lives in her own world, nothing can infiltrate that stuff. When we talk daily, she’s just checking on my spirit.”

“She always asks me, ‘You aight? You good? How you doing? You handling it all?’” he said. “She’s like, ‘Yo, let’s make sure we on the same page every day.’”
