Hollywood actor, Nick Cannon has come out to apologize for any extra pain or confusion he caused after announcing that he is expecting his eighth child.

He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.

According to him, he agrees that he failed to protect and respect the privacy of the mothers of all his children when he shared the news earlier this week.

Nick added that he was actually hesitant about sharing the baby news shortly after he and ex, Alyssa Scott lost their 5-month-old son Zen to brain cancer in December.

His words, “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.”

“I didn’t need to do that because those are two completely separate moments in my life and they both deserve the respect.”

“This was always in the back of my mind, like, ‘What is the right time? How do I share this?”

“I wanted to definitely respect the grieving process with [Alyssa], and Bre was respectful enough — she held off making our announcements and speaking on social media.”
