Nick Cannon<\/a> is remembering his late son, Zen, on what would’ve been his 5th birthday.<\/p>\n

The comedian and actor got together with his coparent Alyssa Scott, their daughter Halo Marie, and other family members to honor Zen, who would have turned 5 on June 23. Unfortunately, he passed away<\/a> at just 5 months old from a rare and aggressive form of brain cancer.<\/p>\n

Nick and Alyssa, along with their loved ones, dressed in white and gathered on a beach with posters of Zen … and later cut a cake in his honor during an intimate backyard ceremony.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Nick posted several pics from the celebrations of life, as you can see … captioning his post with the 2 Corinthians 4:6 Bible verse and, “Zen\u2019s Light will forever shine in our hearts. We love you my son \u2764\ufe0f\ud83d\udd4a\ufe0f\ud83d\ude4f\ud83c\udffe.”<\/p>\n

Nick and Alyssa welcomed Halo after Zen’s death in December 2022 — during a span of time that saw him father multiple babies with several women. Remember, he has 12 children with six different women.<\/p>\n

He shares 15-year-old twins Moroccan and Monroe with his ex-wife, Mariah Carey<\/a>, and welcomed the rest of his offspring between 2017 and 2022 with Brittany Bell<\/a>, Abby De La Rosa, Bre Tiesi<\/a>, LaNisha Cole, and Alyssa.<\/p>\n

He has since said he is most likely done growing his family.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Nick Cannon and Alyssa Scott Honoring Son Zen On His Would-Be 5th Birthday Published June 26, 2026 5:57…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":762906,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[49,48,361,75],"class_list":["post-762905","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-celebrities","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-celebrities","tag-entertainment"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/762905","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=762905"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/762905\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/762906"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=762905"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=762905"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=762905"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
