Nick Cannon shared some heartbreaking news on his talk show Tuesday morning. The host told his studio audience and viewers that his 5-month old son Zen has passed away.

Nick revealed that his baby boy with model Alyssa Scott seemed to have sinus issues, so they took him to the doctor to get checked out. Upon that appointment, they discovered that Zen had fluid in his head and a brain malignant tumor.

Nick said doctors immediately performed surgery to remove the fluid, but around Thanksgiving their baby boy took a turn for the worse and the tumor begin to grow rapidly.

In his emotion show segment, he shared that he spent this last weekend with his son, and on Sunday they took a trip to the ocean, where they watched the sunset.

Nick held his son for the last time on the beach, and he said he died soon after that moment.

Zen is the youngest child of Nick’s 7 children. He was also one of Nick’s four children that were born in the same year.

Nick officially introduced Zen to the world back in July. According to Zen’s mother, a former Wild ‘N Out girl, their son was born June 23, 2021.

Since the breaking news of their son’s death, Alyssa has been sharing special moment with Zen on Instagram Story.

Sending condolences to Nick, Alyssa, and the entire family. Rest in peace, baby Zen.
