The 41-year-old host welcomed Zen, his seventh child, with Scott on June 23. While opening up to viewers, he shared how he and his family discovered Zen was battling Hydrocephalus, a form of brain cancer. “I always noticed he had a cough and so I wanted to check it out,” he said. “He had this interesting breathing and by the time he was two months, I noticed he had this nice sized head too — a Cannon’s head. We didn’t think anything of it. But I wanted to take him to the doctor for his sinus and breathing. We thought it would be routine.”
From there, they discovered that Zen had fluid building in his head and it was a malignant tumor: “Things sadly didn’t get better for baby Zen. This weekend I made an effort to spend the most quality time with Zen. We woke up on Sunday and went to the ocean with him and Alyssa and then I had to fly back to New York for the show,” he shared, breaking down in tears. “I got a call on my way to the airport to head back to Zen.”
He tearfully added, “You can’t heal until you feel,” he told the audience. He noted that he returned to work quickly despite the devastating loss because that is all he knows, adding that this episode a “celebration of life” for Zen.
He was just five months old.
