Bre Tiesi and Nick Cannon are "very much together" but have an "open" relationship.

The 'Selling Sunset' actress admitted people are often "confused" by the situation between her and the 'Masked Singer' host - who has fathered 12 children with five women but stressed they are more than just co-parents to their two-year-old son Legendary.

Speaking on the 'Wednesdays' podcast, she said: "I'd like to be very clear. We don't co-parent, we are very much together.

"And that's why people are confused.

"Me and my partner have been on and off for years.

"Basically, he has other partners, and we're just open and happy and that's our thing … People call it all kinds of s***. I call it, 'I do what I want to do.'"

And Bre insisted she is happy with the situation because she is not "a jealous person" and doesn't want a "conventional relationship".

She added: "I don't want a full, live-in person I'm responsible for. Like, I'm responsible for my child. I feel like this is probably -- which is so crazy -- the healthiest relationship I've ever had. We never fight, we never have any toxicity, we don't argue, nothing."

The 33-year-old beauty praised Nick, 44, as the "best dad" and insisted he is "very involved" as they both set aside time in their calendars to be together.

She added: "The people he doesn't deal with don't necessarily want or need him around, but I feel like anyone that chooses that or wants that, he's happy to do that. He obviously understands the situation that we're in, so he's really good at doing just what makes everybody happy."

As well as Legendary, the comedian also has 14-year-old twins Moroccan and Monroe with ex-wife Mariah Carey, as well as Golden, seven, Powerful, three, and Rise, two, with Brittany Bell.

He is also father to three-year-old twins Zion and Zillion, and daughter Beautiful, two, with Abby De La Rosa and Onyx, also two, with LaNisha Cole.

He and Alyssa Scott have daughter Halo Marie, two, together, while their son Zen died at just five months old from brain cancer in December 2021.
