Nick Cannon's ex-girlfriend Alyssa Scott is expecting her third child, 10 months after losing their five-month-old son Zen to brain tumor. Alyssa, 29, showed off her baby bump in a blue dress as she held her 5-year-old daughter Zeela in a picture captioned, "With you by my side…" It is not known if Cannon is the father of Alyssa's new baby.

Last month, Cannon, 42, welcomed his third child with Brittany Bell - his 10th child altogether. He has welcomed 10 children with six women since 2011. He is now expecting his 11th child, a baby girl, with Abby De La Rosa, with whom he already shares 15-month-old twins Zion and Zillion, reported DailyMail.

Nick Cannon loves being a father. "Every day I just wake up excited as a father," he told People. "I'm so excited about all my kids. Constantly, from every aspect of it. From them getting citizen of the month awards in the first grade to the birth of the new ones."

Nick Cannon's children

Cannon shares twins Moroccan and Monroe with ex-wife Mariah Carey, sons Golden Sagon, Rise Messiah and daughter Powerful Queen with Brittany Bell, twin boys Zion Mixolydian and Zillion Heir with Abby De La Rosa, son Legendary Love with Bre Tiesi, and daughter Onyx Ice Cole with LaNisha Cole. Cannon also had a son with Alyssa Scott - Zen, who died five months old in December 2021 after being diagnosed with brain cancer. "We knew since August that Zen's time on this earth would be limited. We knew he would not make it to see 6 months," Scott previously shared in an Instagram post. "I am eternally grateful he was in the arms of the people who loved him most."

In another Instagram post, Cannon addressed criticism of his growing family. "I’ve given up on attempting to define myself for the world or society but instead I’m doing the work to heal and grow into the infinite Being God ordained me to be," Cannon wrote, adding, "As we all know, I am not easily triggered and have quite tough skin and have always been an open book but not everyone in my family has that same level of strength. So I pray and ask others to please project all criticism and cynicism towards ME and not the loving and precious Mothers of my children."

Nick will have a total of 11 children by six different women after the upcoming birth of his baby girl with Abby De La Rosa.
