Overview
- Family and friends gathered for an intimate beachside and backyard ceremony to mark what would have been Zen’s fifth birthday, with attendees dressed in white, candles, and a cake topped with a '5' candle and Zen’s photo.
- Nick Cannon posted photos from the gatherings to Instagram, captioning them with the Bible verse 2 Corinthians 4:6 and writing that 'Zen’s Light will forever shine in our hearts.'
- Cannon shared other family content the same day, including posts and stories featuring different children and partners, which drew notable reaction from social media users.
- Zen died in December 2021 at five months old from a rare, aggressive brain tumor, and Cannon and Alyssa Scott now coparent their daughter Halo Marie while not dating.
- Cannon has previously linked the memorials to his Zen's Light Foundation and a planned 'Zen's Light' candle project intended to raise money for families affected by childhood illness.
