LOS ANGELES - Nick Cannon has extended his family by one after he and Alyssa Scott welcomed their second child together.
The two proud parents welcomed their daughter Halo Marie Cannon, on Wednesday, Dec. 14.
Scott shared the news in an Instagram post on Thursday, celebrating the birth of Halo while honoring the memory of their late son Zen.
"Our lives are forever changed," Scott wrote. "Zen is in every breath I take. I know his spirit was with us in the room that morning. I know he is watching down on us, he shows me signs every day. I will hold onto this memory forever."
The 42-year-old father and Scott previously had a baby boy together named Zen, who was five months old when he died from brain cancer.
Scott announced her pregnancy with the "The Masked Singer" host on Nov. 3.

I will remember the sound of her crying out with her first breath and feeling her heartbeat against mine. My sweet girl, I got my surprise!! We love you Halo Marie Cannon!"
