Nick Cannon commemorated his late baby boy’s birthday with family and friends over the weekend.
The Masked Singer television host, 42, shared an Instagram post of himself releasing a batch of balloons adorned with string lights into the night sky in memory of his son, Zen.
Two years ago, the comedian — who recently revealed he has a dream of all of his children going to the same school together — welcomed his seventh child and his first with model Alyssa Scott, 29.
In December 2021, the rapper and his baby mother shared the devastating news that Zen had tragically passed away at five-months-old due to brain cancer.
To honor his memory, Cannon shared photos of himself surrounded by friends and family on the beach with the caption: ‘A Difficult Day that turned into a Beautiful Night…’

He continued: ‘We will forever celebrate Zen’s Light! I love you Son’.
In one image, the Misfits actor smiled next to a large group of family and friends as they posed with large lit-up letters spelling out his son’s name.
Another photo showed Cannon letting go of a bundle of clear balloons adorned with twinkling lights into the evening sky while surrounded by his loved ones.
None of his baby mothers — including Scott — appeared to be in attendance with Cannon’s many children.
However, the social media personality paid tribute to Zen in her own way with a throwback photo of herself watching her baby boy sleep in the hospital after giving birth.
‘Happy heavenly birthday Zen,’ she wrote in the caption of her Instagram post. ‘When I get present enough, when I do what feels honest and true.. Somehow the moment leads me right to you.’
She continued: ‘Me and the girls were able to see you in so many ways today. We love you for eternity’.
A year after losing their son Zen, Scott gave birth to Cannon’s twelfth child — a baby girl named Halo in December 2022.
