Nick Cannon announced this week that he’s expecting his tenth child, this time with model Brittany Bell, while still awaiting the birth of his ninth child.
The actor shocked fans on Wednesday when he posted a behind-the-scenes video from the maternity photoshoot with Brittany, accompanied by the caption: “Time Stopped and This Happened.”

Nick’s baby news comes just one month after he welcomed his his eighth child with Bre Tiesi, and as he awaits the birth of his ninth child, due in October, with Abby De La Rosa.
In the unexpected Insta post, Nick, 41, also added the hashtags “#Sunshine” and “#SonRISE”, possibly hinting that he and Brittany, 34, are expecting a baby boy.
It’s unclear how far along Brittany is, but based on the pregnancy shoot, she could easily be in her third trimester.
Brittany posed in a variety of outfits for the shoot, always accompanied by her child’s father, who cradled her belly, kissed her neck, and lounged with her on a bed of roses.
As part of the photoshoot, Nick and Brittany were joined by the other two children they share together; their son Golden Cannon, five, and daughter Powerful Queen Cannon, one.
If you’re having trouble keeping up (which is understandable), here’s a complete rundown of Nick’s ever-expanding family. Please feel free to take notes.
Nick had his first children with Mariah Carey, the pop icon he was married to from 2008 to 2016. Moroccan and Monroe are the names of their twins, who are now 11 years old.
He then had son Golden and daughter Powerful Queen with Brittany.
Nick and Abby De La Rosa had another set of twins, Zion Mixolydian Cannon and Zillion Heir Cannon, in 2021.
Later that year, Nick and model Alyssa Scott welcomed their first child, Zen S Cannon.
However, in December 2021, Nick shared the heartbreaking news that Zen had died as a result of a rare form of brain cancer.
Nick was spotted with his former Wild n’ Out co-star Bre Tiesi at a gender reveal party in January of this year. Legendary Love, the couple’s son, was born just a month ago.
Abby De La Rosa will give birth to Nick’s ninth child in October, followed by Brittany, who will give birth to Nick’s tenth child at an unknown date.
Got all that? Good.
Despite the fact that Nick has become somewhat of a meme due to the number of children he has with various women, the TV personality has previously spoken out about the unusual lifestyle choice and stated that he wouldn’t have it any other way.
Speaking to therapist Dr Tammy Nelson and R&B duo DVSN last month, Nick shared: “I’ve practiced monogamy, I’ve been a cheater, I’ve been toxic … it all starts with honesty. It’s really just surface, basic stuff. One of my therapists coined what I do as consensual non-monogamy.
“Because to even pretend like I’m in a monogamous relationship, that would be misleading. Because, as we know, monogamy defines one thing – and people like to classify what I do as polyamory or polygamy, but even that, I always say to define me is to confine me.”
