Nick Cannon has another baby on the way. On Jan. 31 the TV host revealed on his eponymous talk show that he and model Bre Tiesi are expecting a child—Cannon’s eighth and the first for Tiesi, 30. “It’s a boy,” said Cannon, who is dad to 10-year-old twins Moroccan and Monroe, whom he shares with ex-wife Mariah Carey; 4-year-old Golden and 1-year-old Powerful Queen, whose mom is Brittany Bell; and 7-month-old twins Zion Mixolydian and Zillion Heir, whom he shares with Abby De La Rosa.
