Celebs Who Have 8 Or More Kids

The following article includes mentions of suicide, domestic violence, and infant mortality.

Celebrities with more money than they know what to do with don't just live in an exclusive tax bracket; they also have the clear means to expand their families well beyond the global two-child average. Plenty of famous people like Andrew Garfield, Seth Rogen, and Chelsea Handler have made their respective positions on children extremely clear: they enjoy them from a distance, but have no intentions of being a parent. 

On the other hand, plenty of celebrities have welcomed multiple children over the years, especially after their careers have taken off. "Two's company, three's a crowd," is a popular idiom. "Four's a party," is a common extension to the saying. There are a rather large handful of famous people who have at least twice as many offspring, regardless of biology or current relationship. 

Nick Cannon has 12 children with 6 women

The truth about Nick Cannon's dating history features an extensive rap sheet of relationships, which, as of May 2026, have produced 12 children. Cannon welcomed his first two children with Mariah Carey, twins Moroccan and Monroe, in April 2011; Cannon and Carey were married from 2008 to 2016. Cannon then welcomed his 3rd, 4th, and 10th children with Brittany Bell: Golden (born February 2017), Powerful (born December 2020), and Rise (born October 2022). 

Between his 4th and 10th child with Bell, Cannon had a number of overlapping relationships with other women. Cannon ultimately welcomed five children with five different women in 2022. Besides Rise, Cannon became a father to Legendary (born July 2022 with "Selling Sunset" star Bre Tiesi), Onyx (born September 2022 with LaNisha Cole), Beautiful (born November 2022 with Abby De La Rosa), and Halo (born December 2022 with Alyssa Scott).

In June 2021, Cannon welcomed three children: twins Zion and Zillion with De La Rosa, and Zen with Scott. Tragically, Zen was diagnosed with brain cancer shortly after birth and passed away in December 2021; he was five months old. "The goal is always to try to turn pain into purpose. I love you Zen. Your light will shine forever my son," Cannon wrote on Instagram in 2024. 

Mia Farrow has 14 biological and adopted children

Mia Farrow welcomed 14 biological and adopted children between 1970 and 1995. Three of Farrow's biological children were born to her and then-husband André Previn: twins Matthew and Sascha (born February 1970) and Fletcher (born March 1974). As of 2026, it's unclear who the father of Farrow's fourth biological child, Ronan (born December 1987), is. While Farrow's ex-boyfriend Woody Allen is named on the birth certificate, she claimed in 2013 that Frank Sinatra was Ronan's father. 

Farrow adopted three children with Previn before their divorce in 1979: Lark (born February 1973), Daisy (born October 1974), and Soon-Yi (born 1970). Soon-Yi went on to marry Allen in 1997 in one of the most alarming age-gap relationships in Hollywood history. Farrow's other adopted children are Moses (born January 1978), Tam (born 1979), Dylan (born July 1985), Thaddeus (born December 1988), Frankie-Minh (born February 1989), Isaiah (born February 1992), and Kaeli-Shea "Quincy" (born January 1994). 

Sadly, three of Farrow's children have predeceased her. Tam passed away in 2000, aged 20 or 21, from a disputed accidental prescription overdose. Lark died in 2008, aged 35, from complications related to HIV/AIDS. Thaddeus died by suicide in 2016, aged 27.
