Bre Tiesi recently opened up a bit about the challenges of co-parenting with Nick Cannon. In a candid conversation on Paul C. Brunson’s We Need to Talk podcast, the Selling Sunset star revealed that there’s one aspect of her unconventional family dynamic that occasionally sparks feelings of jealousy.
Tiesi, who is one of six women Cannon shares children with, admitted that his shared time with his 11 other children during holidays, makes her envious. Tiesi shares a 2-year-old son named Legendary with the Wild N’ Out creator.
“I think I’ve gotten jealous about … maybe, like, holidays. Holidays are hard, right?” she admitted at the one-hour, 10-minute mark of the episode. She also elaborated on how she prioritizes her son’s relationships with his siblings, explaining, “I’d be like, ‘OK, well, if you’re going to do this can you take Leggie?’ And it’s not for me, I’m not jealous. Say they go on a trip and I’m like, ‘Well, that would have been nice. Could you have just brought Leggie with you guys?’ I’m looking more out for him … ’cause I care and I want him to have the relationship with his siblings.”
However, Tiesi says she is optimistic that when all of Cannon’s children get older, they will all be able to be together more often. “I know at some point Nick will be able to take the kids and do what he wants to do with just the kids and make it more of like a family unit,” she said. “They’re just young right now, so they don’t really interact as much.”
She added, “I just want to make sure that I’m keeping the door open and that everyone involved is happy, and so our kids can have a relationship. Because you don’t have to like me, we don’t have to have a relationship—I don’t need to at all, but I want you to know that I genuinely love and accept your kids and they’re welcome in my home.”
Despite the complexities of co-parenting within Cannon’s large family, Tiesi maintains that she is “cool” with most of the other mothers and remains open to fostering connections. “Obviously there’s emotions involved, and I can’t help how other people feel,” she said. “But if I’m invited, if you are OK with me being around, I will happily bring Legendary. I will come and say hi. I will drop a gift, I will leave him, and I will come back.”
