Nick Cannon is preparing to welcome his 12th child.

Abby De La Rosa – who is already mother to Cannon's 1½-year-old twin sons, Zion and Zillion – confirmed that the father of the child she is expecting is indeed Nick Cannon.

De La Rosa, who announced in June that she was expecting child no. 3, recently defended her parenting skills against critics who may not understand her "polyamorous relationship" with the TV host.

"Being in a polyamorous relationship doesn't mean you have low self-confidence or low self-esteem," the 31-year-old DJ said during a September appearance on the Lovers and Friends podcast. "I become very sensitive when people attack me and my motherhood. Being open in my relationship doesn't change the kind of mother I am to my children and the wholeness I am to them and the strength I share with them.”

We recall that just last week, Alyssa Scott revealed that she was expecting Cannon's 11th child.
