Nick Cannon cuddled up with his one-month-old twins sons in a family photo with Abby De La Rosa.

After welcoming his seventh child Zen with girlfriend Alyssa Scott two weeks ago, Nick, 40, posed for some professional photos with his boys.

The boys, Zion Mixolydian Cannon and Zillion Heir Cannon, looked adorable in matching baby grows as they snoozed in between their beaming mum and dad on a fluffy blanket.

In one shot the pair, who are both wearing black tops, lean in and sweetly give each baby a kiss on the cheek.

Sharing some of the snaps on her Instagram page Abby said in the picture caption: ‘ONE MONTH OLD 🤍🤍 ZION & ZILLION CANNON.’

The Wild N Out host, who is poised to launch his own daytime TV show later this year, defended having his four youngest children in less than a year, insisting there were no accidents.

He added on his Power 106 radio show: ‘There’s a lot of people that I could’ve gotten pregnant that I didn’t. The ones that got pregnant are the ones that were supposed to get pregnant.’
