Giving birth is a miracle — and it can feel like a religious experience, for sure — so it’s makes sense in a way.

According to The Bump, Rise means “laughter” and has a Latin origin. Messiah means “Anointed One,” according to BabyNames.com. It’s also the word typically associated with Jesus in the Christian faith.

The Masked Singer host shared more details about the birth in his Instagram caption. “Another Blessing!!!” he wrote, before thanking God for his life. “As my journey on this planet becomes more and more remarkable and unfathomable, all I can do is thank God and continue to ask the Most High to order my steps,” Cannon continued. “He has given me stewardship and dominion over a family dynamic that to some is unimaginable. But more importantly he has blessed me with loving individuals to guide me with care through this purposeful life.”

He went on to thank Bell, saying he is “so indebted and grateful for the matriarch energy in my time of need.” Cannon continued, “@missbbell has been the rock and foundation of my Fatherhood journey. She has taught me so much about parenting, psychology, spirituality, love and just life in general.”
