Model and influencer Bre Tiesi announced on Instagram that she gave birth to her and Nick Cannon's child. This is her first baby and Nick Cannon's eighth. She gave birth at home, and Cannon was with her throughout the process.

The fans first heard about Tiesi's pregnancy when pictures were released of the two of them. In the photos, they were both wearing white, the rapper hugging her stomach while they were showered with blue confetti. The American TV host confirmed the news on his talk show "The Nick Cannon Show," revealing he knew about the model's pregnancy for a while but was hesitant to share it because his son, Zen, had just passed away and he was still processing the loss.

"This process has been extremely difficult for me," he said on his talk show. "I've known about Bre's pregnancy for a while now, even before my youngest son, Zen passed. So, even going through all of that, this was always in the back of my mind. When is the right time? When do I share this? To kind of figure out a chronological order or hierarchy, it kept me up at night," per Fox News.

A father to eight children

In addition to his new baby boy, the Comedian shares 11-year-old twins with ex Mariah Carey, 5-year-old and 19-month-old with Brittany Bell, 13-month-old twins with Abby De La Rosa, and his son Zen whom he shares with Alyssa Scott but who died in December 2021 due to brain cancer.

The American influencer shared a photo on her Instagram account saying that she did it in natural unmedicated home birth, and it was the most "humbling/limit-pushing yet awakening and completely empowering" experience. It changed her forever, and she couldn't ask for a more amazing and supportive partner like Cannon. Tiesi said she could not have done it without him, per People.

Once the contractions started, the couple were filmed having a hot bath and taking several walks to help with the labor.

In an exclusive interview earlier, Tiesi told US Weekly that she wasn't nervous about telling Cannon they were having a child together as it had always been part of the plan. According to her, they had been talking about going down that road for a long while, and when they were finally ready, they were trying, and there was no "Oops, I got pregnant."

Having children is a process of achieving an emotional and spiritual level

In June, during an appearance on the Lip Service podcast, the radio host revealed that he was expecting more children this year and opened up about his decision to keep having children saying it is part of his process to reach a specific emotional and spiritual level.

He jokingly said that if people thought he had a lot of babies in 2021, they were in for a surprise for 2022 and should expect higher numbers.

Their son sadly needed respiratory support following his birth, leaving his mom understandably worried. The Fashion Nova model said that she noticed her son wasn't crying in a video posted on her YouTube account on Monday, July 25. After that terrifying moment, the midwife used an air tube on the newborn, and that's when he began to wail, which Tiesi described as the best sound she had heard, per US Magazine.
