7 KIDS & COUNTING: EVERYTHING NICK CANNON HAS SAID ABOUT HIS UNCONVENTIONAL FAMILY LIFE

Zen was just 5 months old when he passed away in December 2021 from brain cancer.

On his special day, the parents also shared a video of him sleeping in Scott's arms.

"Happy heavenly birthday Zen. At the root of all the emotions I have today there is insurmountable love. I always try my best to remain positive but right now I can’t help but cry out 'it’s not suppose to be like this,'" she captioned the sweet clip. "In my mind I can see him smashing his cake and crawling around, tugging at my legs. But the reality is I will be the one to blow out his first candle. I will be wishing he was still here with us. GO REST HIGH."

Cannon is also a father to his and ex-wife Mariah Carey's 11-year old twins Moroccan and Monroe, in addition to sharing 5-year-old son Golden and 1-year-old daughter Powerful Queen with Brittany Bell. But that's not all: he and Abby De La Rosa have 1-year-old twins Zion Mixolydian and Zillion Heir, and she's also pregnant with their third child together.

Model Brie Tiesi is expecting a baby with the comedian as well.
