Feb. 22 (UPI) -- Television personality and actor Nick Cannon has announced via social media the birth of his third child.

"Weeping may endure for a night, but Joy cometh in the morning! No matter how hard the world may hit you, God always reminds us of our purpose! #TrueHappiness," Cannon wrote in his Instagram post Wednesday. "Welcome to Earth Son! Golden "Sagon" Cannon 2/21/17 #Awakened."
