Nick Cannon welcomes EIGHTH child as model Bre Tiesi documents home birth

Nick Cannon has welcomed the birth of his eighth child alongside first-time mum Bre Tiesi.

Nick, 41, was present for the "all natural unmedicated home birth" with the 31-year-old model as they welcomed son Legendary Love in the early hours of June 28.

The TV host and rapper saw the arrival of three kids last year alone - twins Zion Mixolydian and Zillion Heir with Abby De La Rosa, and son Zen with Alyssa Scott - and he’s already dad to 11-year-old twins Monroe and Moroccan with ex-wife Mariah Carey, as well as Golden, 5, and Powerful Queen, 1 with Brittany Bell.

He is reportedly expecting his ninth child, due in October, with De La Rosa. Nick tragically lost son Zen to brain cancer in December.

Bre documented the labour and birth of her first child, which was released on her YouTube channel on Monday.

She also shared photos from the video on her Instagram page, which had the caption: "I did it. An all natural unmedicated home birth.

"This was the most humbling / limit pushing yet awakening and completely empowering experience.

"I can’t thank my team enough for delivering my son safely.

"This experience has changed me forever and I couldn’t of asked for a more amazing and supportive partner.

"Daddy showed the f up for us.. I couldn’t of done it without you. I can’t believe he’s here."

Among the host of congratulatory messages to the new mother, Nick said he was "honored and privileged" to be with her for the birth.

He replied: "You never cease to amaze me!! Full of passion, drive, focus, brilliance and most importantly love!!!

"Honored and privileged to experience this beautiful miracle with you!

"Thank you for the greatest gift any human can give to another. For this my love is forever indebted."

During the video, Bre spoke about inducing her son as soon as possible but in "the healthy way" due to Nick's work commitments on the east coast of the United States in the coming days.

This included things such as massages and healthy eating, both recommended by her midwife.

Once the contractions started, Nick and Bre were filmed having a hot bath and taking several walks to help with the labour.

Legendary Love was eventually born at 1.28am on June 28, weighing 8lb 10oz and was measured at 21 inches long.
