How many children does Nick Cannon have? Comedian revealed devastating news of death of youngest

Nick Cannon recently mourned the death of his youngest child, Zen, with model Alyssa Scott, on his show

Nick Cannon has fathered a number of kids with a few different women. This year alone, he became father to three new babies, but tragically lost his youngest one in December. He announced the devastating news on December 7 while hosting 'The Nick Cannon Show'.

The comedian became the father of Zen Scott in June after 'Wild 'N Out' model Alyssa Scott delivered him. Around the same time, he also welcomed twin babies with another woman named Abby De La Rosa, which led to him being trolled online. But the latest development has left many feeling sympathetic about his loss. In a video shared on his Instagram page, Cannon revealed that Zen died on December 5 because of a brain tumor.

Describing the last few moments he spent with the five-month-old, Cannon said, “This weekend I made a valid effort to spend the most quality time I could spend with Zen. We woke up on Sunday — I got to spend the weekend with him — and I woke up on Sunday and was like, ‘I feel like I want to go to the water.’ We got a chance to go to the ocean.”

People soon took to social media to support Cannon and Zen’s mother Scott during this difficult time. A fan wrote, “How utterly devastating for them. I can't begin to imagine.” Another one tweeted, “so sorry @NickCannon RIP babyboi Godbless my condolensces NC n fam.” The third one said, “Cancer at 5 months! Didn’t even know that was a thing. This poor baby. RIP.”

A person tweeted, “I watched his show this morning. My heart goes out to him. It shows the type of loving and devoted father that he is for all of his kids. No parent should have to bury their child.” The second one stated, “I am so sad and feel so broken for you. As I sit here in tears I and devasted. I'll continue praying for you and your family. I cannot believe it he looked healthy.” “News like this breaks my heart. Sending heartfelt condolences and prayers for mourning hearts to heal to #NickCannon and his family. Rest In Peace, little one,” another tweet read.
