Nick Cannon may famously have a lot of children, but he is adamant about making sure they are all close.

The former television host first became a dad in 2011 with the birth of his twins Moroccan and Monroe, 13, who he shares with ex-wife Mariah Carey.

He has since welcomed ten other children with five other women, and just shared the sweetest of photos featuring none other than his eldest daughter, Monroe, and his youngest, Halo Marie, who is 20 months.

Nick Cannon and His 12 Children

Nick took to Instagram on Monday and shared a heartwarming post featuring Monroe, who celebrated her milestone thirteenth birthday in April, hoisting her little sister, whose mom is Alyssa Scott, on her hip.

The post was set to CeCe Winans' song "Always Sisters," and Nick wrote in his caption: "Cannon Girls! My Youngest and My Oldest! Monroe and Halo!" alongside a string of red heart emojis.

Fans were then quick to take to the comments section under the heartwarming moment and gush over it, with one writing: "Love this!! Hey Roe Roe. Your sister is adorbs," as others followed suit with: "Monroe has grown up on us seems like overnight. Both are beautiful girls!" and: "I love seeing all the kids interact together," as well as: "Beautiful Cannon girls."
