In his show, which aired February 3rd, Nick Cannon apologized to his baby mamas for any extra pain he might have caused them while announcing the coming of his 8th child. In the

episode of his show that aired on Monday, February 1st, he announced that he and model Bre Tiesi were expecting a baby boy together and showed pictures of him and her at what seemed to be a gender reveal party.
 
The announcement caused a lot of uproar as it came less than two months after he lost his son Zen, whom he fathered with Alyssa Scott, to brain cancer.
He said, "I misspoke and probably went too much into detail on Monday expressing my feelings, and it probably felt like I was making some comparisons when talking about the new child I'm expecting."
He also revealed that he thought to himself if it was the right time to make the announcement, and even his new baby mama held back on making the announcement out of respect for Alyssa, who lost their son.
He promised to do better by his children and baby mamas on matters that are delicate and sensitive to them. He apologized for any pain and confusion he might have caused.
 
 
 
On Monday, hours after Cannon announced his baby was on the way, Alyssa shared an emotional post on Instagram about feeling at peace since the loss of her and Cannon's 5-month-old son and how they always knew their son had a short time to live.
 
The model thanked those who have sent her supportive messages as she continues to mourn the death of baby Zen, sharing that her late son "expanded my heart in ways I never thought possible" and filled her with compassion.
 
Cannon and ex-wife Mariah Carey have 10-year-old twins Monroe and Moroccan, as well as a 4-year-old son, Golden "Sagon" and a 1-year-old daughter, Powerful Queen. He also welcomed twins, Zion Mixolydian and Zillion "Zilly" Heir, with Abby De La Rosa in June 2021.
