Nick Cannon has spoken out after it was revealed he’s set to become a father again.<\/p>\n
The 41-year-old actor has confirmed he is set to become a father for the eighth time after pictures of the pair at a baby shower at the weekend were shared by TMZ.<\/p>\n
And Nick has admitted they wanted to be “respectful” when it came to announcing the news after the tragic passing of his five-month-old son – who he had with Alyssa Scott – from a brain tumour just last month.<\/p>\n
On Monday’s episode of \u201cThe Nick Cannon Show\u201d, he said: “So even going through all of that, this was always in the back of my mind, like, ‘What is the right time? How do I share this?’<\/p>\n
“No one, we didn’t expect Zen to pass away … All of the news was so unexpected.<\/p>\n
“I wanted to definitely respect the grieving process with Alyssa, and Bre was respectful enough \u2014 She held off making our announcements and speaking on social media.<\/p>\n
“She’s a very, you know, in the public eye type of person, but keeps her stuff private as well.”<\/p>\n
Nick – who is also father to four-year-old son Golden, 13-month-old daughter Powerful Queen, seven-month-old twins Zion and Zillion, and 10-year-old twins Moroccan and Monroe from previous relationships – insisted he and Bre didn’t plan for the news to come out on Sunday.<\/p>\n
He added: “And it was just one of those things like, you know, I didn’t know what to do. I didn’t know what to say when I was dealing with Zen or to hold off.<\/p>\n
“Even right now, that it came out yesterday, that wasn’t planned to talk about it. We wanted to, you know, hold on as long as we can, but it happened.”<\/p>\n
In the photographs from the baby shower, Nick was seen cradling real estate agent Bre’s bump, as it was revealed she is expecting a baby boy.<\/p>\n
The pair also held hands and hugged as they walked along the beach in Malibu at the gender reveal party.<\/p>\n
Bre finalised her divorce from NFL star Johnny Manziel in November.<\/p>\n
Zen’s arrival into the world marked Nick\u2019s fourth child in a matter of months.<\/p>\n
The star and Brittany Bell welcomed daughter Powerful Queen into the world in December 2020, and Abby De La Rosa gave birth to Zyon and Zillion in June.<\/p>\n
And the \u201cMasked Singer\u201d host suggested he’ll keep adding to his brood.<\/p>\n
He said previously: “God willing, man. We’ll see. If God sees it that way, then that’s what I’m gonna keep doing.”<\/p>\n
However, he later vowed to try and stop having any more – until 2022 “at least”.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
