Nick Cannon has extended his massive brood once again after welcoming baby number 12.
The 42-year-old America’s Got Talent host and model Alyssa Scott announced on social media that they have welcomed their newborn daughter, who arrived on December 14.
Cannon was already a father of 11 children - including his and Scott's son Zen who tragically died in December 2021 at just five months old.
Taking to her Instagram, Scott shared a sweet video about the arrival of their new bundle of joy on Thursday (December 29) and revealed that they have named their baby Halo Marie Cannon.
Check out the post below:In the video, the mother paid a heartbreaking tribute to her late son by showing pictures of the young baby and outlines of his tiny hands and feet.
The footage also featured a quote that reads: "Grief is the love inside you shedding its skin, becoming a new form of love," and displayed clips of Scott's "Zen" tattoo as she caressed her bump and looked at scan photos of the new baby.
The clip then showed the comedian looking shocked as he watched the baby being delivered, before holding his daughter and announcing to Scott that it was a girl. The newborn then rested on an emotional Scott's chest and concluded with the happy parents posing for a photo with their baby girl, before Scott was heard telling her mother that she'd had a baby girl over the phone.
"December 14, 2022. Our lives are forever changed," the mother of two wrote in the caption. "Zen is in every breath I take. I know his spirit was with us in the room that morning. I know he is watching down on us.
"He shows me signs every day. I will hold onto this memory forever. I will remember the sound of Nick's voice saying 'it’s a girl' and the look of everything we’ve been through flash across his face," she continued.
"I will remember the sound of her crying out with her first breath and feeling her heartbeat against mine. My sweet girl, I got my surprise!!" she said, adding, "We love you Halo Marie Cannon!"
As well as Zen and Halo, the Wild 'N Out host shares sons Rise Messiah, 10 weeks, and Golden Sagon, five, and daughter Powerful Queen, 23 months, with model Brittany Bell.
He also shares 11-year-old twins Monroe and Moroccan with ex-wife Mariah Carey, daughter Beautiful Zeppelin, six weeks, and twins Zion and Zillion, 18 months, with Abby De La Rosa.
Cannon is also a father to Legendary Love, five months, with model Bre Tiesi and daughter Onyx Ice Cole, three months, with model LaNisha Cole.
The baby's birth also comes after the Masked Singer host admitted on Paramount+’s The Checkup with Dr. David Agus that he finds it challenging to divide his time properly with his big family.
"Being a father of multiple kids, it’s always the biggest guilt on me, is that I don’t get to spend enough time with all my children," he shared during an episode. "One ’cause I’m constantly working, and two because I’m just spread thin."
