Nick Cannon will soon be welcoming baby number three. The “America’s Got Talent” host has remained quiet about the details surrounding his ex-girlfriend Brittany Bell’s pregnancy, but a new report has revealed the sex of Cannon and Bell’s little bundle of joy.

Sources told Us Weekly that Bell is around seven months pregnant with a baby boy. That means the singer/actor will be a third time father early next year.

While speaking to “Extra” backstage at the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show in Paris, Cannon gushed over becoming a father again. “I’m thoroughly excited. I’m thoroughly moved to be able to bring another life into this world, that’s what life is all about,” Cannon said, adding that the baby is due at the “top of the year.”

News broke last month that Cannon was expecting a baby with Bell. He confirmed the news shortly afterwards during an interview on The Breakfast Club. “I got a baby on the way. Absolutely,” he said, jokingly adding: “God said be fruitful and multiply. I’m doing the Lord’s work out here.”

The 36-year-old also gushed about Bell’s pregnancy during an interview with Entertainment Tonight. Cannon said although the baby news was an “unexpected situation,” he was excited about it. “It’s outstanding,” he said. “Honestly, they say even in unexpected situations, you still embrace the beauty of bringing a life into this world, because that is what life is all about.”

Ever since the pregnancy news broke, Bell has been sharing baby bump photos on her Instagram page and talking about the unborn child on Twitter. On Tuesday, the former Miss Arizona USA tweeted: “What a gift to be a woman and feel life growing inside you…. It is so special and never to be taken for granted. I am amazed daily.” Last week, she took to Instagram to share a photo of her cradling her growing belly. “Joy is all you can have when bringing a precious life into this world with love no better gift than life itself,” she posted.

Canon is already dad to twins Monroe and Moroccan with ex-wife, Mariah Carey.
