“Our lives are forever changed,” Scott wrote on her Instagram account on Thursday, December 29, revealing Halo Marie arrived on December 14. “I will remember the sound of Nicks voice saying ‘it’s a girl’ and the look of everything we’ve been through flash across his face. I will remember the sound of her crying out with her first breath and feeling her heartbeat against mine. My sweet girl, I got my surprise!!”

With Halo, Cannon is officially the father of 12 children, sharing twins Moroccan and Monroe ex-wife Mariah Carey, twins Zion, Zillion and Beautiful Zeppelin with Abby De La Rosa. He also shares Golden Sagon, Powerful Queen and Rise Messiah, with Brittany Bell, Legendary Love, with Bre Tiesi, and Onyx Ice Cole with LaNisha Cole.

Alyssa and Nick's son, Zen, had passed away at only five months old from brain cancer almost a year ago.

“Zen is in every breath I take,” Scott added in the caption of her announcement video. “I know his spirit was with us in the room that morning. I know he is watching down on us, he shows me signs everyday. I will hold onto this memory forever.”
