Nick Cannon posed with two of his children for a new magazine photoshoot.

The 41-year-old actor was spotted with son Golden, 5, and daughter Powerful Queen, 1 for Men’s Health.

Cannon has six children: twins Moroccan and Monroe, 11, with ex-wife Mariah Carey; Golden, five, and Powerful Queen, one, with Brittany Bell; and twins Zion Mixolydian and Zillion Heir, who will turn one year old later this month, with Abby De La Rosa.

His seventh child, son Zen, whom he had with Alyssa Scott, died just two months after he was born. In January, Nick announced he was expecting an eighth child, this time with model Bre Tiesi.

The actor posed in a bathtub for part of the shoot, giving fans a great look at his strong physique.

He held a glass of champagne while his son rubbed bubbles in his hair from outside the tub to his father’s left.

Cannon was also spotted with his daughter, Powerful Queen, as he held onto gold and silver Mylar balloons.

The star shared that he is discussing parenting with pal Kevin Hart – who has four children.

“Kevin Hart is my best friend and he’s the one I always talk to,” he said.

“We talk quite a bit about fatherhood. We were on Real Husbands Of Hollywood and put ourselves in fictional scenarios. Robin Thicke is a great dad. Even Ken Jeong. We’re talking about fatherhood, the stupidity of it all.’

And Nick said he takes care of all his little ones.

“Contrary to popular belief, I’m probably engaged to my kids all day, more often than the average adult can be,” the star said.

“When I’m not physically in the same city with my kids, I talk to them before they go to school on FaceTime and stuff like that. And then when it’s me [in the same city, I’m] drive my kids to school, how to arrange for me to pick them up. All those things to make sure [I’m there for] all extracurricular activities. I’m involved in everything from coaching to weekly guitar lessons with my daughter.”

In another moment, Cannon stood with his daughter Powerful Queen and Golden.

His children each held a number balloon that corresponded to their age, while their father held a whole bunch of balloons with the ages of his other children on them.

He had an incredulous look on his face as he stood there in a white tank top and khakis.

Cannon opened up about living his life in the public eye in the accompanying interview.

“I’ve lived my life in public in a way that’s very authentic,” he noted. “I kind of did everything out there. All of my emotions, all of my understanding or lack thereof, as vulnerable as I could be – I’m just thinking, look, I’m trying to figure it out.

He also spoke about how he felt after his talk show’s cancellation, saying that “everyone stumbles.”

“I haven’t seen anyone do it perfectly,” he continued. “I take those stumbling blocks as lessons learned and how to keep going so you don’t stop. The only real mistake is when you stop.’

Cannon also spoke about his views on marriage and “traditional” relationships.

“I’ve seen where people think a traditional household works, and [yet] There is a lot of toxicity in that environment,” he explained. “It’s not about what society thinks is right. It’s like, what makes it right for you? What is your luck? What allows you to have joy and how do you define family? We all define family in so many different ways.”
