Right now, Cannon says he’s “finally catching up” after celebrating the holidays with his kids and is now “getting ready for all the spring break ahead.”
“So we’re getting back outside a lot, a lot of basketball starts again, and just a lot of sports and outdoor activities,” he explains. “As a dad, it’s the kind of thing you structure your schedule around, all your kids’ extracurricular activities.”
Talking about the most rewarding part of being a dad to so many kids, Cannon says, “Just hearing your kids say, ‘I love you, Dad.’ You know what I mean?”
“The first time they say that, whether they’re a year old or 18 months old, to hear it from your kids who are on the verge of being teenagers, there’s nothing better than that,” he continues, also noting that “big hugs” and “picking them up from schools” are some other “best” moments.
