Nick Cannon honors his and Alyssa Scott’s late son Zen: ‘Light and presence shining over’

Nick Cannon has paid tribute to his and Alyssa Scott’s late son Zen in a touching post on social media.

Taking to Instagram Saturday, the father of 12 shared a heartwarming video of the pair with their daughter Halo, whom they welcomed in December 2022.

In the clip, the pair can be seen walking on a beach with Halo, who is Cannon’s youngest child.

In the caption, Cannon took the time to honor the pair’s late son, who died of cancer two years ago.

“Zen’s Light and presence shining over little miss Halo and Mommy and Daddy!” Cannon, 43, wrote.

“What a beautiful day to remind us all that there is a higher power and God’s Energy and frequency to keep us all going under his grace and mercy even in the midst of challenges.”

Baby Zen died of brain cancer in December 2021. He was just 5 months old.

Soon after Zen’s birth in July 2021, Cannon said he noticed his child had a “nice-sized” head and had developed a cough, which prompted him and Scott to take their newborn to the doctor.

It was then that medics discovered fluid built up in Zen;s brain, which turned out to be a malignant tumor.

The child underwent emergency surgery to drain the fluid, but sadly his health took a turn for the worse after Thanksgiving that year.

“This weekend I made a valid effort to spend the most quality time I could spend with Zen,” Cannon said in a podcast episode in December 2021, announcing the death of his son.

“We woke up on Sunday … and [went] to the ocean … and then I had to fly back to New York for the show,” he tearfully said. “By the time I got in the car and was headed to the airport, I had to turn around.”

“You can’t heal until you feel,” the “All That” alum added in the heartfelt message to his listeners.
