A month after welcoming his 10th child, Nick Cannon announced that he is expecting No. 11.
Model Alyssa Scott confirmed Thursday that she and Cannon have another child on the way, their second together and Cannon's 11th.
Hours later, "Deadpool" star Ryan Reynolds poked fun at his friend's latest baby news.
"We're gonna need a bigger bottle," Reynolds wrote, retweeting an article announcing Cannon's latest child.
Similarly, Reynolds will soon have another mouth to feed as wife Blake Lively announced in September that they are expecting their fourth child. In an Instagram post, the actor revealed that she is pregnant and slammed the paparazzi while doing so.
"Here are photos of me pregnant in real life so the 11 guys waiting outside my home for a [unicorn emoji] sighting will leave me alone," she captioned her post. "You freak me and my kids out."
Reynolds' tweet isn't the first time the "Green Lantern" actor has joked about Cannon's growing family. In June, he enlisted him to help promote his Aviation gin brand for Father's Day in a video where they share a cocktail named "The Vasectomy."
"Lord knows I need one," Cannon quips.
With ex-wife and singer Mariah Carey, Cannon shares twins Monroe and Moroccan. In addition to Rise Messiah, Bell and Cannon are parents to son Golden and daughter Powerful Queen. The rapper also has twins Zion and Zillion with DJ Abby De La Rosa. In July, he and and model Bre Tiesi welcomed their son Legendary.
Scott and Cannon welcomed their first child, Zen, in June 2021. But in December, the baby died of brain cancer.

Megan Thee Stallion is not OK with Drake making music that references her trauma.
She’s taking issue with a lyric that appears on Drake’s “Circo Loco,” a track off “Her Loss,” his new collaborative album with fellow rapper 21 Savage. The album, which dropped Friday, includes the following “Circo Loco” lines: “This b— lie about getting shots, but she still a stallion/ She don’t even get the joke, but she still smiling.”
Stallion tweeted her frustration late Thursday night.
“Since when tf is it cool to joke abt women getting shot ! You n—s especially RAP N—S ARE LAME! Ready to boycott bout shoes and clothes but dog pile on a black woman when she say one of y’all homeboys abused her,” she said in a series of tweets.
Rapper Tory Lanez is currently on house arrest until his Nov. 28 jury trial on charges of assault with a semiautomatic firearm and carrying a loaded, unregistered firearm in a vehicle, stemming from his alleged shooting assault on Stallion in October 2020.
Lanez was placed on house arrest and electronic monitoring last week after he assaulted singer August Alsina in Chicago in September. Prior to that, he had seen his bail raised from $250,000 to $350,000 after breaking a stay-away order by posting social media messages that the judge decided had referenced Stallion.
Stallion finally opened up about the alleged shooting in April.
She and Lanez were close friends at the time, and she was riding a car driven by Lanez’s driver at the time of the early-morning altercation, according to Stallion. When an argument started in the back seat, she asked the driver to pull over and let her out of the car, she said. After she got out, Lanez allegedly fired a gun at her feet. She later underwent surgery to remove bullet fragments from both feet.

NEW YORK — Sienna Miller is looking back at putting self-respect center stage — though it didn’t get her very far at the time.
The “Anatomy of a Scandal” star told British Vogue she was once told to “(expletive) off” by an “extremely powerful” Broadway producer when advocating for equal pay.
After being “offered less than half” of what her male counterpart would rack up for a weeklong Broadway stint in an unnamed play, Miller recalled telling the producer, also unnamed, “It’s not about money — it’s about fairness and respect.”
Though she assumed she’d get the pay increase with no problem, the producer wasn’t having it.
Miller “felt terrible about myself and embarrassed” in the wake of the incident she now views as a “pivotal moment,” the star said Tuesday.
“I realized I had every right to be equally subsidized for the work that I would have done,” said Miller, whose “21 Bridges” paycheck came in part from co-star Chadwick Boseman’s own.
After praising the late Boseman’s overture as “extraordinary,” Miller said he later told her: “You got paid what you deserved.”
Actors in the generation behind her “have the word ‘no’ in their language in a way that I didn’t,” Miller said.
“[Now] you’re included in a conversation about your level of comfort. It’s changed everything.”
