“Do I get my sons something for Valentine's Day because they see their sister has something?” Cannon, 43, interviewed on the Friday, February 16, episode of the “Counsel Culture Show” podcast.
After his guest, Dr. Laura Berman, responded that she “always” buys gifts for her sons for the February holidays, Cannon stated that it's okay for her to do that because she's their mother. “Mothers have to give the boys something,” he said. “Should Dad buy his sons something for Valentine's Day?”
Cannon continued: “It's technically a romantic vacation. That's what I do, I give everyone something, but mostly it keeps me out of trouble. I'm taking my daughter out for Valentine's Day and my son isn't allowed to come.”

Berman, 54, argued that Valentine's Day is meant to celebrate all types of love, not just the romantic kind. “Why does it have to be heterosexual?” she asked before noting that Cannon has no “romantic involvement” with any of his children.
Berman wrapped up the topic by suggesting that the father of 12 buy a “big stuffed animal” for his sons as a way to show his love for them. “Yes,” he replied, “but I don't send them roses.”

“As a father of multiple children, not being able to spend enough time with all of my children is always the biggest guilt,” Cannon admitted during a December 2022 episode. The check-up with Dr. David Agus. “One, because I'm constantly working, and two, because I'm just spread thin.”
