Who is Brittany Bell and How Many Kids Does She Have With Nick Cannon?

Brittany Bell is a journalist and model who was previously crowned Miss Arizona USA in 2010 and Miss Universe Guam in 2014.

Bell also has a business, the Mama Gang. This has a YouTube podcast that she hosts with SoulFia Perez King.

Cannon has two children with Bell— 5-year-old son Golden and 19-month-old daughter Powerful Queen. Both children featured in the video shared by Cannon to announce he and Bell were expecting their third child together.

Alongside the video, he wrote: "Time Stopped and This Happened…" with the hashtags "sunshine" and "sonRISE." Bell has not publicly acknowledged the pregnancy.

The comedian and model are said to have met in 2015 and dated on-and-off before welcoming their first child together in February 2017.

Following the birth of their daughter in 2020, Bell wrote on Instagram: "The best gift ever. we have been surprised with... A GIRL!!!!!... All I can say is that Nick was my rock through the most intense yet empowering natural water birth. It was nothing but POWERFUL."

Cannon has seven surviving children with several women, including fraternal twins Moroccan and Monroe, who he welcomed with ex-wife Mariah Carey in 2011.

He also shares twins Zion and Zillion with DJ Abby De La Rosa, who were born in June 2021.

Cannon welcomed his seventh child, a son named Zen, with model Alyssa Scott on June 23, 2021. Sadly, Zen passed away at just five-months-old from a brain tumor caused by hydrocephalus, which is an abnormal increase in fluid in the brain.

In July 2022, he welcomed his eighth child, a son named Legendary Love, whose mother is Bre Tiesi.

Cannon expressed his delight at being a father to so many children in an interview with People in May, saying: "Every day I just wake up excited as a father.

"I'm so excited about all my kids. Constantly, from every aspect of it. From them getting citizen of the month awards in the first grade to the birth of the new ones."

Cannon has often spoken about the mothers of his children in the past, saying on his show in January that it is "never a competition" between them.

While announcing the imminent arrival of his eighth child, he said: "That sounds weird saying 'the next mother' because as everybody knows I have a lot of children, and I love them all dearly, sincerely. Every single one of my children are just as special as the other. It's never a competition.

"Parents know what I mean when I talk about just the love that you have for a child, whether it's a child that's here, whether it's a child that's no longer here, whether it's a child that's grown, whether it's a child that's about to be here.

"It doesn't matter how many you have. It's this unconditional love, this godly-like love that comes over the process."
