"Love you both for being warrior parents to this magical soul, who reminds us everyday life here on earth is precious but the spirit is divine and infinite to this magical universe. @nickcannon @itsalyssaemm."

Cannon and model Alyssa Scott, 29, share two kids together — son Zen and daughter Halo, 6 months. The couple's son Zen died in December 2021 of brain cancer.

In January 2022, the TV personality posted on Instagram and honored his late son. In the photo, Cannon sat with five of his children, including 12-year-old twins Moroccan and Monroe, whom he shares with ex-wife Mariah Carey.

Cannon captioned the photo, "Still missing my little dude… His Spirit and brightness were soo strong #ZensLight."

He continued, "'To be absent from the body, is to be present with the Lord'. 2Corinthians 5:8 The whole family, We ALL miss you young King! Forever Our Angel!🙏🏾❤️‍🩹👼🏾."

Cannon previously opened up to PEOPLE about explaining Zen's death to his other kids, describing the conversation with his older children as "pretty intense."

"But their understanding and them being there for me probably helped me keep it together as well as really deal with it," he shared. "Specifically, even, Roc and Roe. They were there for the entire journey."

Cannon said he was with Zen when his son took his last breath on Dec. 5, 2021. He told PEOPLE that he and Scott "had a short time with a true angel," adding that his "heart is shattered."

"I wish I could have done more, spent more time with him, taken more pictures," he said. "I wish I could have hugged him longer."
