It’s a boy!

Nick Cannon is set to be a father for the eight time.

The TV personality is reportedly expecting a child with model Bre Tiesi after being spotted hosting a gender reveal party in Malibu, California, on Saturday

Photographs obtained by Page Six show Nick and Bre celebrating with a small group of friends surrounded by pink and blue balloons.

A pregnant Bre, who recently finalised her divorce from American footballer John Manziel, cradled her bump in a stunning white dress.

Nick also wore all white to match his partner.

Confetti cannons were popped open, which shot blue confetti into the air – revealing that Bre is expecting a baby boy. The new arrival will be her first child.

The news comes just over one month since the tragic passing of Nick’s five-month-old son Zen, who he shared with model Alyssa Scott.

Zen had been diagnosed with Hydrocephalus, a condition in which fluids build up in the cavities of the brain, putting pressure on the organ.

Nick opened up about the devastating loss and his last weekend with the boy on The Nick Cannon Show.

“This weekend I made a valid effort to spend the most quality time I could spend with Zen,” he said. “We woke up on Sunday and went to the ocean…

“And then I had to fly back to New York for the show. By the time I got in the car and was headed to the airport, I had to turn around.”

Nick also shares 10-year-old twins Monroe and Moroccan with ex-wife Mariah Carey. He has a 4-year-old son Golden “Sagon” and a 1-year-old daughter Powerful Queen with ex Brittany Bell.

He also welcomed 6-month-old twins, Zion Mixolydian and Zillion “Zilly” Heir, along with Abby De La Rosa in June 2021.

Nick previously spoke out about why he had fathered so many kids, saying he did it “on purpose”.
