Nick Cannon's 12th baby, and second to Alyssa Scott, was born on December 14, the model announced on Instagram Thursday.

According to CNN, their daughter, Halo Marie Cannon, was born almost a year after their son Zen succumbed to brain cancer at five months.

Scott then said: "Our lives are forever changed. 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."

She noted that she would remember Nick's voice announcing, "it's a girl," and the "look of everything we've been through flash across his face."

The model added that she will also remember the sound of her baby's crying out with her first breath and "feeling her heartbeat against mine."

Nick Cannon's 12th Baby Is His 5th This Year

According to Fox News, Nick Cannon revealed the birth of his 11th child, Zeppelin Cannon, with Abbey De La Rosa in November.

His tenth and ninth baby was born in September: his first child with Lanisha Cole, daughter Onyx Ice and third child with Brittany Bell, son Rise Messiah.

His eighth child, Legendary Love, with model Bre Tiesi, was born in June. Cannon's eldest kids are his 11-year-old twins Monroe and Morrocan with his ex-wife Mariah Carey.

"The Masked Singer" host also has 18-month-old twins with De La Rosa, Zion, and Zillion. His two other children with Bell are son Golden Sagon, 5, and daughter Powerful Queen, 2.

Why Nick Cannon Keeps on Having Kids

In 2017, Nick Cannon hinted that his actions might be linked to his diagnosis of lupus, an autoimmune condition, five years earlier.

"I'm probably gonna die sooner than most people. That's what the doctors said," he said during an interview on "The Howard Stern Show."

"So I'm living life like I might die in the morning, so let's f*** all night! Why wear condoms? I might not be here tomorrow!"

Insider reported that Cannon had three kids during that interview. Clinical psychologist Adolph Brown said having a foreshortened-future philosophy is not healthy, and actions based on that ideology affecting other people can be perceived as selfish.

Cannon has noted that he bears "a bag full of guilt" about not having enough time for his children, particularly his late son Zen.

Dr. Paula Powe, a board-certified child and adolescent psychiatrist and assistant professor of psychiatry, suggested that Cannon's desire for a large family could have deeper psychological underpinnings based on her experience with patients with similar wants.

She noted that some parents want children so badly because they never felt truly loved as a kid themselves.

She added that the desire for a large family is a common motivation among the people she meets, and these individuals worry that even if they only have one child who does not like them, it will feel like a massive rejection.

"But if I have six, one or two of them are going to like me," she noted.
