Alyssa Scott has said she is now "at peace" following the tragic death of her baby boy in December.

Scott shared her son Zen, who was born on June 23, 2021, with The Masked Singer host Nick Cannon. Cannon is now expecting his eighth child, a baby boy, with model Bre Tiesi.

Soon after the 41-year-old host confirmed on his talk show that he and his partner were expecting a baby, Scott shared an emotional Instagram post in which she revealed that she feels "centered" and "at peace" following the recent tragedy.

She began: "I want to thank every single person who has messaged me or thought of me over the course of these last few months. I always say Zen expanded my heart in ways that I never thought possible.

"He filled that space with compassion, knowing I would need that most. It is painful having my son be a part of conversations that aren't in alignment with his light and legacy. It isn't something I chose for him or myself."

The model then shared with her 257,000 followers: "It's important for me to let you all know... I am centered, I am at peace. I look at everyone's predicament with loving eyes. I will not judge. I will consciously decide what I will participate in. I am surrounded by love. God, my mom, dad, sister, and brother continued to carry me."

Scott also shared a picture of Zen sleeping on Instagram Story, and in the caption, explained that she is "eternally grateful" that she was able to spend some time with him before his death.

Scott and Cannon lost baby Zen on December 5, 2021, to a brain tumor. The malignant tumor was discovered when she took the infant to a doctor after noticing his head appeared larger than that of other babies his age.

Sadly, the tumor continued to grow despite undergoing surgery and the youngster eventually died.

As well as Zen and the baby boy he is expecting, Cannon is also father to 10-year-old twins Moroccan and Monroe, who he shares with ex-wife Mariah Carey; Golden, 4, and Powerful Queen, 1, who he shares with Brittany Bell; and seven-month-old twins, Zion Mixolydian and Zillion Heir, who he shares with Abby De La Rosa.
