Looking back. Nick Cannon wishes he’d had more time with his late son, Zen, before the infant’s December 2021 death.“There’s this heavy, heavy guilt with the fact [that] I didn’t get to spend time like I really wanted to with Zen, that I have other children even in a similar age,” the California native, 41, revealed during a therapy session with Dr. Laura Berman, which was shown on the Wednesday, February 16, episode of The Nick Cannon Show. “And it’s like, ‘OK, I’m guilty that I’m not there every day.

I’m guilty that the mothers of my children yearn for more and I can only give them so much.'”Before Cannon shared the clip of his recent counseling session, he told viewers, “I am a work in progress and therapy has been an important tool in helping learn and grow and navigate through my unconventional personal life.”The Drumline actor continued: “I walk around with a backpack full of guilt.

But at least I know the harder that I work, then it makes the guilt easier to deal with.”Alyssa Scott gave birth to Zen, her first child with the Masked Singer host, in June 2021.

The baby boy passed away five months later after being diagnosed with a brain tumor.“Alyssa was just, like, the strongest woman I’ve ever seen,” the Wild ‘n Out host said of the model, 28, in December 2021. “[She] was emotional when she needed to be but was always the best mom and continues to be the best mom possible.”Cannon is also the father of twins Moroccan and Monroe, 10, with ex-wife Mariah Carey, and shares son Golden, 4, and daughter Powerful, 13 months, with Brittany Bell.
