Nick Cannon loves making babies. The Masked Singer host will become a father for the 12th time. Alyssa Scott, the mother of Cannon’s late son Zen, has announced that she’s pregnant with the duo’s second child. Scott has a daughter from a previous relationship. Her and Cannon’s son Zen died in 2021 at just 5 months old after a private battle with a rare form of brain cancer. Scott made the announcement of her pregnancy in an Instagram photo of her baby bump while holding her daughter, Zeela, in matching blue ensembles, seemingly hinting she’s having a boy. “With you by my side…” she captioned the photo.
Entertainment Tonight confirms Cannon is the father. Their late son Zen was Cannon’s seventh child. After his death, Cannon and Scott announced a foundation in his name with the goal of helping to find a cure for pediatric cancer. They made the announcement on their respective Instagram accounts to unveil the Zen’s Light Foundation, whose mission “is to foster global excellence in hope, grief-care, and pediatric healthcare for families and children in need.” Cannon and Scott attended “a beautiful lighting ceremony to honor the life of an Angel” to commemorate the occasion.
