Nick Cannon has announced that Alyssa Scott is pregnant with his soon-to-be 12th child. However, he admitted that the consequence of having so many kids is that he also pays millions in child support.

The model confirmed that Cannon is indeed the father of her upcoming child, one week after the former "Nickelodeon" star announced baby Number 11 with Abby De La Rosa.

Cannon and Scott previously welcomed a baby boy named Zen. However, the baby tragically died five months later because of brain cancer.

Nick Cannon and Child Support for His Many Kids

The 42-year-old has fathered many children through various women, including, of course, Mariah Carey.  A legal expert has told The Sun that because of his many children and his status as a high-income earner, Nick Cannon pays around $3 million yearly in child support alone.

California practicing family law attorney and legal expert, Goldie Schon, noted that "the courts in California have the right to deviate from the typical child support guidelines," when you have somebody like Cannon, "who's an extremely high-income earner."

Schon explained that Cannon's net worth is not taken into account, but his yearly income does. She also told the outlet that if Cannon earns "somewhere upward of $5 million a year, you have to look at what it would take to have the children kept in the lifestyle of both parents."

However, according to Fox News, Cannon admitted that the actual number is much larger. He noted that he definitely spends "a lot more than that on my children annually." Cannon added that he does not plan to "participate in the governmental system of child."

Nick Cannon's Children

As the "Masked Singer" host welcomed his newest children into the World, Us Weekly reported his first kids arrived in 2011 when he fathered twins Moroccan and Monroe with pop superstar Mariah Carey.

While they were already divorced, they are still co-parenting with their son and daughter together. Brittany Bell is the mother of three of his other children, namely Golden, 6; Rise Messiah, 5 weeks; and Powerful Queen, 22 months.

Nick Cannon is also the father of Abby De La Rosa's twin children, Zion and Zillion, and is now adding a recently-born baby.

As for Alyssa Scott, she had Cannon's seventh child, who tragically died of cancer, and now his 12th child.

Bre Tiesi also mothered one of Cannon's kids earlier this year, and they named their child Legendary Cannon. She had an all-natural unmedicated home birth with Legendary. Another woman who had one baby with Cannon is model LaNisha Cole, and they named their baby Onyx Ice.

Schon noted that there was no way of telling how much each woman is exactly getting from Nick Cannon because none of it is in the public record.
