“Being in a polyamorous relationship doesn’t mean you have low self-esteem or self-worth,” De La Rosa, 31, said during the Tuesday, September 13, episode of the “Lovers and Friends” podcast. “I become hypersensitive when people attack me and my motherhood.”

De La Rosa noted on the podcast that she is proud of the way she’s raising her kids.
“Me being open in my relationship does not change or take away from the type of mother that I am to my kids and the wholeness that I am to them and the strength that I share with them,” she said, adding that she hopes the blended family she’s created with Cannon inspires her own children to live “their own way.”
Though De La Rosa, who announced her third pregnancy in June, has not yet revealed the father’s identity, Cannon confirmed later that month that the stork will be making several special deliveries.
In response to speculation that he might have more babies on the way, Cannon teased on the “Lip Service” podcast, “When you say ‘on the way’ … what count are you at? Let’s just put it this way … the stork is on the way.”

“I think I see monogamy for myself down the line, and this won’t get me there. But I love where I’m at, at this very moment. It’s just not my forever,” she explained.
While De La Rosa seems to take Cannon’s growing brood with a good sense of humor — comparing ‘Gen C’ to the Kardashians in August – theAll That alum previously admitted that not all of his kids’ moms are on the same page.
“But what is a ring but really a band? I got you for life and I’ll always be there,” Cannon free-styled during an appearance at Power 106 FM last month. “All of my children will always be friends, even if their mamas not in agreeance.”
