Nick Cannon announced this week that he's expecting his tenth child, this time with model Brittany Bell, while still awaiting the birth of his ninth child.
The actor shocked fans on Wednesday when he posted a behind-the-scenes video from the maternity photoshoot with Brittany, accompanied by the caption: "Time Stopped and This Happened."
Take a look below:

Nick's baby news comes just one month after he welcomed his eighth child with Bre Tiesi, and as he awaits the birth of his ninth child, due in October, with Abby De La Rosa.
In the unexpected Insta post, Nick, 41, also added the hashtags "#Sunshine" and "#SonRISE", possibly hinting that he and Brittany, 34, are expecting a baby boy.
It's not clear how far along Brittany is, but judging by the admittedly stunning pregnancy shoot, she could easily be in her third trimester.
Brittany posed in a number of different outfits for the photoshoot, always accompanied by the father of her child, who cradled her belly, kissed her neck, and lounging with her on a bed of roses.
As part of the photoshoot, Nick and Brittany were joined by the other two children they share together; their son Golden Cannon, five, and daughter Powerful Queen Cannon, one.
If you're struggling to keep up (absolutely understandable), here's a full rundown on Nick's ever-growing family. Feel free to take notes.
Nick welcomed his first children with pop icon Mariah Carey, who he was married to from 2008 to 2016. Their twins, now 11 years old, are named Moroccan and Monroe.
Then, with Brittany, he had son Golden and daughter Powerful Queen.
In 2021, Nick had another set of twins, Zion Mixolydian Cannon and Zillion Heir Cannon, with Abby De La Rosa.
Later that same year, Nick welcomed Zen S Cannon with model Alyssa Scott.
However, in December 2021, Nick shared the devastating news that baby Zen had died after being diagnosed with a rare form of brain cancer.
In January of this year, Nick was spotted at a gender reveal party with his former Wild n' Out co-star Bre Tiesi. The pair welcomed their son, Legendary Love, just last month.
Next up is Abby De La Rosa again, who is due to welcome to Nick's ninth child in October, before Brittany gives birth to Nick's tenth child at an unknown date.
Got all that? Good.
Although Nick has become somewhat of a meme for the sheer amount of children he has with different women, the TV personality has previously spoken out about the unusual lifestyle choice and explained that he wouldn't have it any other way.
Speaking to therapist Dr Tammy Nelson and R&B duo DVSN last month, Nick shared: "I’ve practiced monogamy, I’ve been a cheater, I’ve been toxic ... it all starts with honesty. It’s really just surface, basic stuff. One of my therapists coined what I do as consensual non-monogamy.
"Because to even pretend like I’m in a monogamous relationship, that would be misleading. Because, as we know, monogamy defines one thing - and people like to classify what I do as polyamory or polygamy, but even that, I always say to define me is to confine me."
