Nick Cannon’s ninth baby has arrived!
The “Wild ‘N Out” host, 41, surprised his Instagram followers on Thursday with a black-and-white photo of his and Lanisha Cole‘s first child together.
“Introducing ONYX ICE COLE CANNON,” the “All That” alum gushed about his baby girl. “Once again Today I am in Awe of the Devine Feminine!
“God has given me and @MissLanishaCole the privilege of hosting an Angel here on earth,” the former Nickelodeon star continued. “I vow to protect, provide, guide and love this child to the best of my abilities.”
The “Masked Singer” host asked his fans to “rejoice” news of his expanding family, writing, “We all learn so much from these Angels we call children. I am learning that it is not the limited amount of time we have on this planet but it’s the limited amount of love that is the issue. And I promise to love this little girl with all my heart, regardless what anyone says.”
For those who remain critical, Cannon asked, “I pray and ask others to please project all criticism and cynicism towards ME and not the loving and precious Mothers of my children.”
Cannon called Cole, 40, “one of the most guileless, peaceful and nonconfrontational kind souls” he knows, adding, “[She] only deserves to revel in this moment of blissful joy of motherhood. Please give her that.”
In a post of her own, Cole wrote, “Onyx Ice Cole Cannon…9-14-22.”
The model added via Instagram Stories that her heart has been “opened up in a huge way” by the birth of her daughter, concluding, “She’s surrounded by so much love and I’m already obsessed with her!”
The “Drumline” star’s social media upload comes nearly one month after revealing he and Brittany Bell are expecting their third baby together. (The duo also share a son Golden, 5, and a daughter Powerful, 1.)
Cannon is also speculated to be the father of pregnant Abby De La Rosa’s upcoming arrival, as the pair previously welcomed twins Zion and Zillion, 1, in June 2021.
That same month, Alyssa Scott gave birth to their son, Zen, but the 5-month-old died in December 2021 after battling brain cancer.
Cannon also shares 11-year-old twins, Moroccan and Monroe, with Mariah Carey, as well as son Legendary, 2 months, with Bre Tiesi.
The “Selling Sunset” star, 31, clarified in a “Know For Sure” podcast episode in June that she and the other mothers of Cannon’s children are not in a “cult.”
Tiesi explained, “Everything is respectful. Everything is honest.”
As for De La Rosa, the DJ, 31, defended her “polyamorous relationship” with the actor to the “Lovers and Friends” podcast hosts on Tuesday.
“Me being open in my relationship does not change or take away from the type of mother that I am to my kids and the wholeness that I am to them and the strength that I share with them,” the expectant star said.
