Oh baby! It looks like Nick Cannon is now a father of seven.

On Saturday, July 3, his rumored girlfriend Alyssa Scott posted on Instagram photos of herself holding a newborn baby, named Zen. She wrote, “I will love you for eternity ♥ 6•23•21.” Nick, 40, liked her post.

His rep had no immediate comment about the matter when reached by E! News.

Alyssa, who also has a daughter from a previous relationship, announced her recent pregnancy in January in an Instagram post that she later deleted. Then in May, the model and influencer revealed in another Instagram post, which has also since been removed, that she plans to name her child, a boy named Zen S. Cannon, raising speculation that Nick is his father.

Three days before giving birth, on Father’s Day, Alyssa seemed to confirm the rumors when she shared a pic from a maternity photo shoot that showed a man who appeared to be Nick putting both hands on her baby bump. She captioned the image, “Celebrating you today.”

Former Victoria's Secret Model Bridget Malcolm Slams Brand While Recalling Personal Struggles

Ex-Victoria's Secret Model Bridget Malcolm released a scathing video criticizing the retailer, using a bra from a 2016 fashion show to to show how underweight she was allegedly pressured to become.

Watch: Tyra Banks Calls Victoria’s Secret Rebrand a “Beauty Revolution”

Former Victoria’s Secret model Bridget Malcolm has criticized the retailer’s recent brand makeover in a scathing video, in which she uses one of their bras to demonstrate how underweight she was allegedly pressured to become to walk in one of its annual fashion shows.

The 29-year-old made her comments on TikTok on Sunday, June 27, more than a week after the lingerie and apparel group ended its “Angels” brand, represented by its top models such as Adriana Lima, Behati Prinsloo and Candice Swanepoel, and announced a new roster of women as the public faces of the group, including soccer star Megan Rapinoe, actress Priyanka Chopra and plus-size model Paloma Elsesser.

“Victoria’s Secret,” Malcolm said, “your performative ally ship is a joke.”

In her video, captioned, “too little too late Victoria’s Secret,” the model demonstrated how underweight she was when she took part in the 2016 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show, her second and final overall. In the clip, she tries on a size 30A lace white Victoria’s Secret bra that she wore at the event.

“I am now a size 34B,” said the 5-foot-11-inch model, “which is healthy for me.”

She continued, “I was rejected from the show in 2017 by Ed Razek. He said ‘my body did not look good enough.'”

Razek served as marketing chief of Victoria’s Secret’s parent company L Brands from 1983 until his retirement in 2019. He could not be reached for comment and a rep for Victoria’s Secret had no immediate remarks about Bridget’s video when reached by E! News.

Malcolm continued, “I wore a size 30B at that point. Look how big it was on me. The sadness behind my eyes from the 2016 show breaks my heart.”

Victoria’s Secret’s recent brand makeover comes amid years of growing criticism of the retailer and changing attitudes about beauty standards and representation of women. In 2019, Razek left L Brands and the annual Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show was canceled.

In 2020, Victoria’s Secret came under criticism again after The New York Times published an article about allegations of misogyny, bullying and harassment within the group. Razek told the newspaper the accusations described in the report were “categorically untrue, misconstrued or taken out of context.”

But a rep for L Brands did not dispute the reporting. They told The New York Times that the company “is intensely focused” on corporate governance, workplace and compliance practices and that it had “made significant strides.” The rep added, “We regret any instance where we did not achieve this objective and are fully committed to continuous improvement and complete accountability.”

Malcolm’s video is one of several she has posted in recent weeks in which she criticizes the fashion industry. In a TikTok clip shared on Tuesday, June 29, the model responded to fans’ questions about why she did not speak out sooner. She detailed her mental health struggles following past traumas—including being “sexually assaulted multiple times”—and experiencing pressure to meet modeling beauty standards.

She said she had been “told to do cocaine to lose weight” by people involved in her career. Bridget also said, “I’ve been told whilst I was underage to just have lots of sex to lose weight.”

“I was struggling with my gender identity,” she continued. “I’d developed anorexia and orthorexia and anxiety and depression. I couldn’t socialize without drinking and was developing quite the reliance on Xanax and Ambien in order to get me through the night. And that was before I turned 18.”

Malcolm said that on her 26th birthday, she suffered a “nervous breakdown,” adding, “I couldn’t leave my house for a year without panic attacks and severe anxiety. I also had a bout with suicidal ideations, which was terrifying. That was four years ago.”

“Today,” she said, “I am two-plus years sober. I’m four years in recovery from an eating disorder. I’m happy. I’m balanced and I’m strong and I feel the best I’ve ever felt. The reality is, I couldn’t talk about my experiences before I reached this point because I would have intense PTSD flashbacks, I would have panic attacks and I wouldn’t be OK. But I am OK now and that’s why I’m speaking out.”

The model continued, “The only reason why I am doing this is because I am a strong believer that the fashion industry needs to change. I am one of the lucky models. I was able to make a long career out of the fashion industry. My job should not include abuse and that is why I’m speaking out now.”

Martha Hunt has a baby on the way!

The 32-year-old model, who frequented the Victoria’s Secret runway over the years, shared some big personal news on Friday, June 18: She’s pregnant. 

“Full heart growing belly,” she captioned an Instagram photo of herself in a bikini, revealing her growing bump. This will be the first child for the runway star, who confirmed her engagement to her photographer boyfriend Jason Mcdonald in January 2020. 

Of course, Hunt is not the only one happy about this sweet baby news. On Instagram, the mom-to-be was showered with love and well wishes from friends and fellow stars like Queer Eye‘s Antoni Porowski and Gigi Hadid. 

As Porowski fittingly commented, “Sugar lemon crêpes to celebrate !!!”

Hadid, a new mom herself, added, “MAMA CONGRATULATIONS ANGELS @marthahunt & @j_mcd lucky lucky baby.”

It seems to be the era of the model baby boom because a handful of catwalk queens have announced pregnancies and welcomed little ones within the past year and beyond, among them Elsa Hosk and Devon Windsor.

America's Next Top Model Alum Lio Tipton Comes Out as Queer and NonBinary

Meet Lio Tipton. The America's Next Top Model alum, former model and movie and TV actor has come out as queer and non-binary.

Meet Lio Tipton.

The 32-year-old America’s Next Top Model star-turned-model and actor came out publicly as queer and non-binary on Instagram on Wednesday, June 2, just after the start of Pride Month.

“Hi. My name is Lio,” Tipton wrote. “My pronouns are they/she. I am proud to announce I am queer and I identify as non binary. I hope to give as much love and support back to those who continue to show love and support for the Pride community at large.”

Hours after sharing their post, Tipton thanked fans for their love support. “Clearly, it didn’t affect me at all,” she joked in a tearful selfie video on their Instagram Story. “Thank you.”

A former child figure skater, Tipton’s road to Hollywood success was far from smooth. She moved to Los Angeles at age 17 to write and direct films, after which a woman saw the teen at a gym and said she wanted to sign them to a modeling agency, according to The Daily Beast.

Tipton then went out to dinner to meet some men, later discovering that she was set up to be “sold” to a Saudi prince. She didn’t fall for the scam. Tipton told the website, “That was my moment of, ‘OK, I have to grow a spine.'” 

Two years later, real modeling recruiters met Tipton at a shopping mall and then contacted them through MySpace to ask them to join ANTM, The Daily Beast reported. Tipton placed third on cycle 11 in 2008.

She later signed with Ford Models and appeared in Maxim magazine and catalog ads for Guess and Forever 21, but didn’t enjoy modeling work.

“I showed up to most of my shows in Birkenstocks and T shirts, and it just wasn’t my world,” she told The Daily Beast. “I was never graceful in modeling.”
