“So, a lot of getting back outside again, a lot of basketball starting back up, and just a lot of sports and outdoor activities,” he details. “As a dad, that’s the kind of stuff you structure your schedule around, all of your kids' extracurricular activities.”
Speaking about what the most rewarding part of being a dad to so many kids is, Cannon says, “Just hearing your kids say, ‘I love you, daddy.’ You know what I mean?”
“The first time they say it, whether they’re 1 year old or 18 months, to hearing it from your kids that are on the brink of being teenagers, there’s nothing better than that,” he continues, also noting that “big hugs” and “picking them up from school” are some other “best” moments.
