Nick Cannon will take “none of the credit” for his son Golden who is starting second grade at just 5 years old.
“He gets his genius from his mama!” the “Masked Singer” host wrote about Brittany Bell via Instagram on Tuesday.
Cannon, 41, shared a photo of Golden smiling while carrying a backpack and holding a sign on a blackboard that says he wants to be a scientist when he grows up.
“Yesterday was the first day of 2ND GRADE for MR. GOLD GUN!! (And he’s only 5 years old!!!),” the actor captioned the back-to-school photo. “Congratulations Champion!!”
Golden skipped preschool and kindergarten and jumped straight into first grade in April 2021.
“This kid has such a gift for learning and it was a joy to pour in,” 34-year-old Bell gushed to her Instagram followers at the time.
“Emotional intelligence and cognitive skills are the key to balancing before any acceleration should be allowed!” she continued. “He’s been a special spirit in both areas!”
The former pageant queen’s 1-year-old daughter with Cannon, Powerful, is also a smart cookie, with the toddler showing off her reading skills in December 2021.
“Wow!!! Look at this brilliant baby!!” the Nickelodeon alum captioned a video of Powerfully Making Sounds and Gestures Matching Words on Flashcards.
Cannon called his daughter a ‘genius’ and wrote: ‘I can do nothing for the credit here, however! That’s all her wonderful mama.”
The host of “Wild ‘N Out” and Bell are currently expecting their third baby together, another son.
Cannon broke the news last week by posting maternity shoot recordings to Instagram and writing, “Time Stopped and This Happened.”
The “All That” alum is also the father of two sets of twins — Moroccan and Monroe, 11, with Mariah Carey and Zion, and Zillion, 1, with Abby De La Rosa — and son Legendary, 2 months, with Bre Tiesi.
Although Cannon and Alyssa Scott welcomed their son Zen in June 2021, the 5-year-old died in December of the same year after being diagnosed with brain cancer.
The former “All That” star teased in June that “the stork is on its way” and is expecting several babies this year.
Many are speculating Cannon is the father of De La Rosa’s third child, as the 31-year-old DJ announced her pregnancy that same month and appeared to be going on a babymoon in the Bahamas with the actor in July, but neither has confirmed his paternity. confirmed.
