On Halloween this year, Cannon and Scott celebrated with the model mom's two daughters, Halo and Zeela, 5, dressing as characters from the animated movie Hercules.

Cannon went as Hercules and Scott dressed as the red-haired Megara, while their daughter Halo went as an angel. Zeela opted for a different look, going as Wednesday Addams.

Appearing on Jason Lee's podcast earlier this year, The Daily Cannon host was asked about how he protects his assets in co-parenting with the moms of his kids.

"I don't care about that stuff. I believe true currency is your energy. I wish I could make a contract, 'You cannot take this much of my energy when you leave,' " he shared.

When it comes to financially supporting his kids, Cannon explained he's "not in the child support system that is run by the government."

"My money is they money, they money is my money. They can have whatever they want, whatever they ask for. My account is their account, and there's a lot in there, so we ain't gon' run out," he leveled.
