Nick Cannon is set to welcome his twelfth child into the world, as Alyssa Scott revealed he is the father of her unborn baby.
The model, who shares late son Zen with Nick, took to Instagram on Thursday to share pictures from a nude maternity shoot she did with the 42-year-old talk show host.
In one snap, the pair sat in a bathtub as Nick kissed Alyssa's belly. In another, Nick placed his hand on Alyssa as she stood over him.
Alyssa also posted a sweet picture of a painting her friend had made, recapturing the special announcement.
She has previously announced her pregnancy without revealing the father's identity by posing for a picture with her daughter Zeela.
Fans rushed to share their congratulations, with one person writing: "This is incredibly beautiful!"
Another said: "Beautiful picture congratulations," while a third commented: "So beautiful congratulations Alyssa."
"This is soooo darn sweet," added another fan.
Alyssa and Nick's pregnancy announcement comes almost a year after the death of their son Zen.
Zen suffered from hydrocephalus, in which fluid builds up in the cavities of the brain and increases the size of the ventricles, putting pressure on the brain.
He was diagnosed with a malignant tumour in his head and was rushed to surgery.
Nick announced the devastating news that his 5-month-old son had died of brain cancer on his since-cancelled daytime talk show. Zen was Nick's seventh child.
The TV host is also dad to twins Monroe and Moroccan with ex-wife Mariah Carey and he shares Golden Sagon, Powerful Queen and Rise Messiah with Brittany Bell.
Nick has twins Zion Mixolydian and Zillion Heir with Abby De La Rosa, who is currently pregnant and son Legendary Love with Bre Tiesi.
He recently welcomed daughter Onyx with LaNisha Cole.
Earlier this year, Nick and Alyssa revealed they were starting a foundation in honour of their late son, in the hope of helping to find a cure for paediatric cancer.
They both took to Instagram in June to unveil the Zen's Light Foundation. Its mission "is to foster global excellence in hope, grief-care, and paediatric healthcare for families and children in need."
