Many exes with kids may disagree, but Nick Cannon thinks coparenting is a piece of cake.

Cannon also shares 11-month-old son Golden “Sagon” with Brittany Bell. “I love being a father,” he told Us in November. “A father is the greatest blessing and greatest responsibility that can ever be bestowed on you. So hopefully I can do it again too.”
