Nick Cannon's Dating Double Standard: Son OK, Daughter Not
3 May
Summary
- Cannon permits his teenage son to date but not his daughter.
- He cites protectiveness as the reason for a stronger stance on his daughter.
- Cannon fears jail if a man harms his daughter.

Nick Cannon revealed a distinct approach to dating rules for his 15-year-old twins, Moroccan and Monroe. He permits and even encourages his son to date, but absolutely forbids his daughter from doing so. Cannon acknowledged this is a double standard, attributing it to a heightened sense of protectiveness towards Monroe.
He elaborated that his primary concern is shielding his daughter from potential harm, stating, "If somebody puts their hands on my daughter, I'm going to jail." This reflects his profound fears as a father regarding his daughter's well-being. Cannon has previously discussed his unconventional parenting style, influenced partly by his split from Mariah Carey, and his large blended family of 12 children.
Monroe herself has clarified her sibling situation, noting that Moroccan is her only full brother, and that her other half-siblings are significantly younger. Cannon has also spoken about fathering five children in 2022, admitting it was a result of "careless activity."
