Nick Cannon has said that he’s sorry for “any extra pain or confusion” he caused after announcing that he’s expecting his eighth child.
During Monday’s episode of his eponymous talk show, Cannon, 41, confirmed that he and model Bre Tiesi are expecting a baby boy together, less than two months after he and Alyssa Scott lost their son Zen, who died Dec. 5 from brain cancer.
However on Thursday morning February 3, Cannon apologized on air after saying he “failed” to “protect and respect the privacy of the mothers of all my children” when he shared the news earlier this week.
The “Wild ’n Out” star also claimed that he was hesitant about sharing the baby news shortly after he and ex Alyssa Scott lost their 5-month-old son Zen to brain cancer in December.
Cannon said;
“I misspoke and probably went too much into detail on Monday expressing my feelings and it probably felt like I was making some comparatives when talking about the passing of my son Zen and then also talking about the new child I’m expecting.
“I didn’t need to do that because those are two completely separate moments in my life and they both deserve the respect.
“This was always in the back of my mind, like, ‘What is the right time? How do I share this?
“I wanted to definitely respect the grieving process with [Alyssa], and Bre was respectful enough — she held off making our announcements and speaking on social media.”
