The policy was taken out by the men's personal care company Dr. Squatch.

"I had to insure my most valuable assets,” he told ET. “Because you hear about like all these different celebrities insuring their legs… so I was like, ‘Hey, well, I got to insure my most valuable body part.'”

And he's right, there are tons of celebrities who have insured various body parts for millions of dollars — for example, Rihanna's legs are insured for $1 million. So, the media mogul insured his assets for $10 million.

Nick revealed the main reason for doing this is to make sure "nothing goes wrong," because he doesn't plan on expanding his family anytime soon.

The father of 12 has made headlines in the past for his views on sex and having so many children, and his comments were met with mixed reactions.

Nick has twins Monroe and Moroccan with Mariah Carey, a 2-year-old with Selling Sunset's Bre Tiesi, three children with Brittany Bell (2014 Miss Guam titleholder), two with Alyssa Scott (model), three with Abby De La Rosa (DJ and radio personality), and one with LaNisha Cole (model).

"Haters say it’s time for me to stop having kids and put this super sperm to rest, but I’m doubling down on these valuable balls and my future kids,” The Masked Singer host said in a press release for the brand, according to Entertainment Weekly. “Shoutout to Dr. Squatch for giving my balls the credit they deserve and hooking me up with the protection I need to keep this family tree rolling!”
