He admitted the six women he fathered children with were hesitant to allow cameras to follow them around.

“They were like, ‘Why are we letting cameras into our homes?’” he revealed in the interview published on Sept. 26.

Cannon said the women worried about putting their private lives and their children’s lives on national television. Still, his current and former partners agreed to take part in the series.

“I think that everybody’s very comfortable with just keeping their peace. But everybody said that they would do it for me, so I’m appreciative of that,” Cannon said.

Us Weekly did not give specifics on whether his ex-wife, superstar singer Mariah Carey, will appear on the show. Cannon shares twins Moroccan and Monroe, 15, with Carey.
