3. Elon Musk, 10 children

Elon Musk’s family has experienced continuous expansion since 2002 when his first son, Nevada Alexander, was born. Sadly, Nevada passed away after just 10 weeks. In the aftermath of this tragedy, Musk and his then-wife Justine Wilson pursued IVF, resulting in the birth of twins in 2004 and triplets in 2006.

Subsequently, in 2020, he welcomed a son with singer Grimes, with whom he later had a daughter in March 2022. However, unbeknownst to many, Musk quietly welcomed another set of twins between 2020 and 2022, this time with a high-ranking executive from one of his companies.

2. Eddie Murphy, 10 children

Eddie Murphy has 10 children with 5 women. His first child, Eric, was born in 1989 and his youngest was born in November 2018. The actor has spoken on his fatherhood journey and what he learned from it. “Along the way I realized that if you put your children first you never make a bad decision,” he said.

1. Nick Cannon, 12 children

Nick Cannon has embraced the role of a super-father, establishing an impressive lineage. Starting from 2011, the television host has welcomed twelve children into his life. Among them are the twins Moroccan and Monroe, whom he shares with pop superstar Mariah Carey.

Cannon openly expresses his joy in this paternal journey, stating in an interview, “Each day, I wake up with an overwhelming sense of excitement as a father. I am genuinely thrilled about all my children and find immense delight in every aspect of their lives. Whether it’s witnessing their accomplishments like being named citizen of the month in first grade or the joyous arrival of new additions to our family.”

But there are other celebrities as well who’ve had multiple kids, including Mick Jagger with 8 children. And some parents are forced by the circumstances with their lives to raise their kids all alone.
