Social media was abuzz Sunday afternoon with the news that the host and actor was expecting his 8th child with model Bre Tiesi, who worked alongside Cannon on his MTV Hip-Hop comedy improv show, Wild-N-Out.While hosting Nick Cannon on Monday, the host confirmed that he and Tiesi are indeed expecting a baby boy, and opened up on his feelings about it amid his recent loss.
Sharing a photo from their gender reveal, Cannon noted how odd it was to reveal Tiesi as “the next mother” of his child, noting the immense, equal love he shares for each of his eight children. “I try to always operate on a high frequency, but as much as I try to ignore some of the negative or lower frequency things, I’m not impervious to reading what some people say about me,” he said, noting that he is affected by criticism calling him careless and irresponsible for creating so many children in such quick succession. “This whole process has been very difficult for me.
