Nick Cannonis apologizing for the manner in which he revealed that he is expecting his eighth child.
Thursday morning, Cannonapologized on airafter saying he “failed” to “protect and respect the privacy of the mothers of all my children” when he shared the news earlier this week.
“I misspoke and probably went too much into detail on Monday expressing my feelings and it probably felt like I was making some comparatives when talking about the passing of my son Zen and then also talking about the new child I’m expecting,” he explained.
“I didn’t need to do that because those are two completely separate moments in my life and they both deserve the respect,” Cannon added.

“I know it seems awkward because people are trying to do the timing and all that … none of that matters. We lost a child and it still is a sincere and real situation,” he said.
“I love her, I love my son Zen, and I always will,” Cannon continued. “And I’m gonna love my new child. I’m a responsible human being and I take full responsibility for everything so I must say I sincerely apologize to everyone involved for any extra pain or confusion that I may have caused.”
“It is painful having my son be a part of conversations that aren’t in alignment with his light and legacy. It isn’t something I chose for him or myself,” she wrote.
