Abby De La Rosa cracked a joke about Nick Cannon's growing family following news he's expecting baby No. 9.
The DJ, 31, who shares twins Zion and Zillion, 14 months, with Cannon, 41, took to her Instagram Story on Thursday, August 25, to tease The Masked Singer host.
"Lmaooo! Ayyeeee! Move over Kardashians, Gen 'C' taking over babyyyy," she wrote alongside a slew of laughing emojis.
On Wednesday, the Wild 'n Out star announced his ninth child is on the way, his third with model Brittany Bell.
"Time Stopped and This Happened…@missbbell #Sunshine #SonRISE," he captioned the maternity shoot video on Instagram.
Fans were quick to comment on his post, with many making a reference to DJ Khaled's song, "Another One."
"Another one *Khaled voice*," one person wrote, which garnered more than 7,000 likes at the time of publication.
De La Rosa revealed in June that she's expecting, though she did not divulge who the father is.
"I'M PREGNANT," she shared via Instagram on June 3, before asking her followers, "Another set of twins?!"
In addition to Zion and Zillion, Cannon shares a second set of twins—Moroccan and Monroe—with ex-wife Mariah Carey. He's also a dad to Golden "Sagon" and Powerful Queen with Bell, as well as Legendary Love with actress Bre Tiesi.
His son Zen, who he welcomed with model Alyssa Scott, died in December 2021 after being diagnosed with brain cancer. He was five months old.
The California native hinted earlier in 2022 that more children were in his future while responding to rumors he had "three babies on the way."
"When you say 'on the way…,' what count are you at?" he joked during an appearance on the Lip Service podcast in June.
"Let's just put it this way…the stork is on the way," he told hosts Stephanie Santiago, Angela Yee and Gigi Miguire. "If you thought the numbers I put up in 2021 was…wait 'til 2022! You know, there was a lot of kids last year."
Following his son's passing, the Drumline actor practiced celibacy and even had a consultation for a vasectomy.
"I ain't looking to populate the Earth completely," he told E! News in May. "But I'm definitely looking forward to taking care and loving all the children that I currently have."
"I don't know if I would've designed it this way, but it's one of those things when you're blessed with the gifts of children. I've been through so much, I find solace, I find peace in my children and I find purpose."
Newsweek reached out to Cannon and De La Rosa for comment.
