“Try using them.”
Nick Cannon got a fairly unconventional Valentine’s Day gift a little early this year.
The 41-year-old took to Instagram to reveal he had been sent a brand new vending machine on Monday – but one tailored to the headlines he’s made in recent years.
Yep, there in the snap stood a vending machine full of condoms – complete with a giant red gift bow on top.
The gift comes after last week’s confirmation the presenter is expecting his eighth child with model Bre Tiesi.
While their son will be Bre’s first child, Nick is already dad to 10-year-old twins Moroccan and Monroe (who he shares with Mariah Carey), 4-year-old Golden and 1-year-old Powerful Queen (who he shares with model Brittany Bell), 7-month-old Zion Mixolydian and Zillion Heir (who he shares with DJ Abby De La Rosa), and his and Alyssa Scott’s late son Zen, who sadly passed away in December after being diagnosed with brain cancer.
In the Instagram post on Monday, Nick posed alongside the machine.
“Looks like somebody just sent me an early Valentine’s Day gift!! Vending Machine full of Magnums,” he wrote along with facepalm and love heart emojis.
“They know what you need! ?? Now take their advice,” one follower commented.
“Try using them lol,” another wrote, while some fans speculated that the gift came from comedian Kevin Hart.

Nick has previously spoken about how he underwent a period of celibacy upon his therapist’s recommendation after he learnt of Bre’s pregnancy.
“That was the reason why I started my celibacy journey back then… I was [celibate] because I was dealing with [this],” he said to Angela Yee on Rumour Report last week, adding that he felt like his life was “out of control”.
“Honestly, the celibacy did help me through the journey of getting one with myself and dealing with this,” he admitted. ”So now everyone knows why I was actually being celibate.”
