In December, Cannon announced on "The Nick Cannon Show" that Zen, his son with Scott, had died of brain cancer at five months old. Cannon told People that he and Scott decided not to treat Zen with chemotherapy because they didn't want him to suffer.
On Monday, Cannon confirmed he was expecting his eighth child. In an Instagram post following the announcement, Scott said she was "at peace."
After thanking those who reached out to her about her son, Scott wrote: "I always say Zen expanded my heart in ways I never thought possible. He filled that space with compassion, knowing I would need that most. It is painful having my son be a part of conversations that aren't in alignment with his light and legacy. It isn't something I chose for him or myself."
The model continued: "It's important for me to let you all know. I am centered, I am at peace. I look at everyone's predicament with loving eyes. I will not judge. I will consciously decide what I will participate in. I am surrounded by love. God, my mom, dad, sister, brother and daughter continue to carry me."
Scott also shared a picture of Zen on her Instagram Story and wrote that she knew in August that her son's time on earth "would be limited." In December, Cannon said on his show that Scott was "the strongest woman" he had seen.
Tiesi, the soon-to-be mother of Cannon's eighth child, shared a video of her gender reveal party yesterday on Instagram and wrote in the caption that she "can't wait to meet" her son.
Cannon has six other children with three other women: 10-year-old twins, Moroccan and Monroe, with his ex-wife, Mariah Carey; a 4-year-old son, Golden, and an 11-month-old daughter, Powerful, with Brittany Bell; and 5-month-old twins, Zion and Zillion, with Abby De La Rosa.
In October, Cannon said on Revolt's "Drink Champs" that he would try to be celibate until 2022 after his therapist advised him to take a break from having kids.
