However, he was worried about announcing the news, as he did not expect his son to pass away.
"It kept me up at night and I always talk about the guilt that I felt in losing Zen and how to deal with this from my other children and it was a lot of guilt for everyone involved," he said.
The entertainer was thankful to his family, who helped him through the tough time, and said he wanted to respect the grieving process with Alyssa Scott.
He was thankful to Bre for delaying her announcement to allow them to grieve and noted they would hold on as long as possible. He said he was happy and would share more with his TV family, adding he would try to be the best dad.
