Nick has fathered 12 children, five of whom are under the age of one. His son Zen tragically died in December 2021 following a battle with brain cancer.

In a recent interview, Nick denied reports claiming he paid $3 million per year in child support, revealing he actually spends a lot more annually. "When you think about my lifestyle, I have to generate at least $100 million a year," he told the LA Times.
