WEST HOLLYWOOD, CALIFORNIA: Nick Cannon’s baby mama Bre Tiesi said the TV host might not have to pay child support for their son, Legendary Love, as he has more than 10 children. “The way it works is like, after 10, the court can basically say he can't afford to pay child support,” Tiesi told her co-star Amanza Smith during an episode of ‘Selling Sunset.’ “Or, because he is who he is, they could say, ‘We know you can afford X amount...’ for each household,” she added.

However, Tiesi’s lawyer, Neama Rahmani, argued that a parent is “obligated” to pay child support irrespective of the number of children. “California law does not place any cap on child support based on the number of children one has,” Rahmani told Insider in a statement. “A parent is obligated to pay child support whether the parent has one child or twelve,” the lawyer stated. Rahmani also spoke to ET and reiterated that her statement was true “whether the mothers of his children have requested child support or whether Nick has paid it to Bre or others.”

‘There's no legal agreement’

In ‘Selling Sunset’ Season 6 Episode 4, realtor Chelsea Lazkani confessed that she finds Tiesi and Cannon's relationship “off-putting.” She also told other agents in the office how Tiesi learned about Cannon fathering another child from a headline instead of the TV host himself. During her conversation with Smith in Episode 7, Tiesi addressed Lazkani’s comments. She explained that Cannon was not her “sugar daddy” and said the duo had no “legal agreement” in their relationship.

“There's no legal agreement, there's no, ‘You have to do X, Y, and Z, you owe me this, you owe whatever.’ We don't have any of that,” Tiesi said. “I take care of myself. And if my son needs something, or we need something, I can ask. That's all I have to do,” she shared. “I know he's a good, dad and, like, Nick is not my sugar daddy. Nick is not my reason that I'm where I'm at. He is none of these things,” Tiesi added.

‘I want to give him everything from me’

During her own confessional, Tiesi argued that the court can say Cannon does not have to pay child support to their son as he has over 10 children. The reality star then emphasized that she wanted to provide for her son independently. “I definitely strive to be the best at everything, to the point where I drive myself insane, but I've worked my ass to be where I'm at,” she explained.

“I did this all myself. And of course, my son is even more motivation. I want to give him everything from me. Not from my partner,” Tiesi further elaborated. The TV personality gave birth to her child with Cannon in June 2022 and said she had an “open” relationship with her baby daddy. Legendary Love is the eighth of Cannon’s 12 children, whom he shares with different women.
