Nick Cannon becomes a father of 12 as he welcomes another child with Alyssa Scott

America’s Got Talent host Nick Cannon has become a father of 12 after welcoming another baby with Alyssa Scott.

Scott confirmed the happy news on Thursday by sharing a video of their newborn daughter moments after she was born on December 14.

The model, who is also mother to 4-year-old daughter Zeela from a prior relationship, revealed they named her Halo Marie Cannon.

In the caption, Scott also shared what it was like to welcome their little girl to the world, following the loss of her and Cannon’s son Zen, who died in December 2021 at just five months old.

She penned on Instagram: “December 14 2022. Our lives are forever changed.

“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 everyday. I will hold onto this memory forever. I will remember the sound of Nicks voice saying ‘it’s a girl’ and the look of everything we’ve been through flash across his face.

“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!!

“We love you Halo Marie Cannon!”

The 42-year-old’s large brood of children has been the subject of headlines as he shares Golden Sagon, five, Powerful Queen, 23 months, and Rise Messiah, 11 weeks, with model Brittany Bell.

The Wild N Out presenter is dad also to 11-year-old twins Monroe and Moroccan from his marriage to Mariah Carey. The pair were married for six years before separating in 2014.
