Nick Cannon has revealed the biggest guilt he carries over having so many kids.
The 42-year-old “Masked Singer” host made the admission during a conversation for the Paramount+ show “The Checkup with Dr. David Agus”, telling the doctor he’s spread too thin, among other things.

Ashton Kutcher is opening up in detail about his health scare in late 2019 when he suddenly lost the ability to walk, hear or see.
On the premiere episode of Paramount+‘s new health series, “The Checkup With Dr. David Agus”, Kutcher disclosed his “terrifying, life-threatening” medical challenge — as Dr. Agus, who is also his physician, described it — revealing that he was suffering from vasculitis, a serious and rare autoimmune disease that attacks and inflames the blood vessels.
“I woke up one day and was having vision issues, could hardly see. Knocked out my hearing, which threw off my equilibrium, my balance and I couldn’t walk. I had vasculitis that you’re very well aware of,” Kutcher shared during the conversation.
The condition causes the walls to thicken, which prompts blood flow to be restricted, leading to potential complications such as blood clots and organ damage. If the blood vessels are impacted in the ears,...
