HOLLYWOOD, Calif. — Nick Cannon isn't ready to confirm rumors that wife Mariah Carey is pregnant, but he is willing to talk about fatherhood.
"I want to raise a child like the way I was brought up," the America's Got Talent host told People at the U.S. Open's Arthur Ashe Kids Day event in New York Saturday. "Be someone who is stern but still fun loving and knows how to have a good time."
When it comes to the sex of his children, Cannon said he'll be worried either way.
"It's great to have a girl until she turns into a teenager. Then you have to worry about every other boy in the neighborhood and that would freak me out," he explained. "With a boy, I'd be worrying about him breaking his arms and his legs. I was that type of kid. I was a daredevil so I'd be having to worry about that."
Carey has the Web buzzing about her belly, which appeared a bit more round last weekend when she performed at the 2010 Barretos International Rodeo in Brazil. Of course, pregnant rumors have been surrounding Carey ever since May when she was spotted leaving a fertility clinic in Los Angeles. The couple has repeatedly said they'll make a pregnancy announcement if and when one is necessary.
If that day ever arrives, Cannon said he's certain Carey will be an amazing mother.
"She's very nurturing," he told the mag. "She's nurturing with me and makes me breakfast at anytime and that's my favorite food. It would be like 3 o'clock in the morning and she will still make me waffles. She'll be the best mom."
