Nick Cannon has had quite a busy year as a father! The actor and television host has welcomed his fourth child in six months. Model Alyssa Scott shared that she has welcomed a baby with Nick.

On Father’s Day a few weeks ago, the model shared a maternity photo to her Instagram stories celebrating Nick. The post was the first time she revealed that Nick was the father of her baby. Alyssa shared in her birth announcement post that she and Nick welcomed a son on June 23, 2021. She also shared the same image in her feed post to her stories where she shared her son’s name: Zen.

Previously, Alyssa had shared this was the name she would have for her son. In a now-deleted Instagram post, she had revealed her son would be named Zen S. Cannon. Baby Zen shares a “Z” name with two siblings who were born just 9 days before him. Nick welcomed a set of twins with DJ Abby De La Rosa on June 14th, 2021, two sons named Zion Mixolydian Cannon and Zillion Heir Cannon.

As of yet, the Wild ‘N Out host has not announced the birth of his three newborn sons. The actor has four other children, one of which he welcomed at the end of December 2020. He welcomed a baby girl with hison-and-off girlfriend Brittany Bell named Powerful Queen Cannon. Nick and Brittany also share a 4-year-old son named Golden. Nick has another set of twins, his first children, whom he welcomed with his ex-wife Mariah Carey in 2011. They share a set of fraternal twins: a daughter named Monroe and a son named Moroccan Scott.

Congratulations to Nick on the arrival of his seventh child! We wish him and Alyssa all the best as they welcome Zen into the family.
