Standing before an in-studio crowd, 41-year old Cannon shared tweets that made fun of him, as he was awaiting the arrival of an eighth child. Then he mentioned that he was in a “great space.” Later, he shared a picture of the baby shower in his “Pic of the Day” segment. In this segment Cannon also mentioned his deep love for all his children.
Cannon also said that he was excited to welcome a new addition to his family and added that he was aware of Tiesi’s pregnancy “for a while” much before the death of his son Zen. However, they didn’t expect Zen to pass away and he wanted to respect the grieving process with Alyssa.
