Nick Cannon Honors His and Alyssa Scott's Late Son Zen: 'Light and Presence Shining Over'

Zen died at five months old after being diagnosed with brain cancer. The parents also share daughter Halo.

"Zen's Light and presence shining over little miss Halo and Mommy and Daddy," Cannon captioned the post, as the video shows the sun beginning to set on the family of three. In December 2021, Cannon shared on his since-canceled eponymous daytime talk show that Zen, his seventh child at the time, died of brain cancer and a subsequent tumor. The duo took to their Instagram accounts at the time and announced the Zen's Light Foundation, whose mission "is to foster global excellence in hope, grief-care, and pediatric healthcare for families and children in need."
