Nick Cannon announces birth of 11th child while baby number 12 is on the way

Nick Cannon has revealed that he has an 11th child while baby number 12 is on the way.

The star took to his Instagram page to share that his daughter with Abby De La Rose was born on 11 November.

He is also currently expecting his 12th child with Alyssa Scott.

Nick praised Abby, who he shares twin sons Zion and Zillion with, for making the labour 'look so easy and effortless'.

The baby's father was only confirmed a few days ago following months of speculation.

Nick wrote: " 11/11/2022 A BEAUTIFUL DAY for 'BEAUTIFUL ZEPPELIN CANNON' to arrive! Mommy @hiabbydelarosa you make it ALL look so easy and effortless but I am forever indebted to your tireless work of constant dedication, diligent effort and selfless love that you give to our children and myself.

"Beautiful is privileged to have such a Loving and Spiritually inclined Mother. Your resilience and strength doesn’t go unnoticed. Watching you smile through the world’s madness and my constant craziness is so impressive.

"Not a day goes by that I am not filled with gratitude for all your care, words of affirmation, kindness and inspiration. Thank you!! If I don’t say it enough! You are the definition of steadfast and virtuous and it is my continued duty to make you and our children feel valued and protected every single day!

"BEAUTIFUL ZEPPELIN aka BZC aka BIZZY B! Get ready because the world is yours! Daddy loves you!!"

The news comes after it was estimated that Nick pays around $3million (£2.5million) a year in child support.

The whopping bill was calculated by looking at his income, according to California practicing family law attorney and legal expert, Goldie Schon.

"When you have somebody like Nick Cannon, who's an extremely high-income earner, the courts in California have the right to deviate from the typical child support guidelines," she told The Sun.

"If he is taking home somewhere upward of $5 million a year, you have to look at what it would take to have the children kept in the lifestyle of both parents. Dad is clearly a public figure and makes a substantial income. The lifestyle has to be the same with mom as it is with dad."

Nick currently has 11 children with six women, and another on the way.

In April 2011, Mariah Carey gave birth to twins Moroccan and Monroe, his first two children.

Brittany Bell is the mother of two of his children: Golden, born in 2017, and Powerful Queen, born in 2020.

Nick also has twins, Zillion and Zion, with DJ Abby De La Rosa, who were born in June 2021.

The star's son named Zen with model Alyssa Scott was born in June 2021 but died at the age of 5 months from a brain tumour caused by hydrocephalus, an abnormal build-up of fluid in the brain.

Alyssa is now currently pregnant.

With Bre Tiesi, Nick has children Legendary Love Cannon and Rise Messiah Cannon.
