Nick Cannon confirmed he and model Bre Tiesi are expecting a child together. It will be the TV host’s eighth child.
“This was always in the back of my mind, like, ‘What is the right time? How do I share this?'” the 41-year-old host of “The Nick Cannon Show” shared Monday on his show, according to E! News. “I wanted to definitely respect the grieving process with Alyssa, and Bre was respectful enough—she held off making our announcements and speaking on social media,” he added.
In December, Cannon shared he and Alyssa Scott’s infant son, Zen, had died of brain cancer at the age of five months. (RELATED: Nick Cannon Welcomes Son Into The World)
