While it’s unclear exactly how long she’s been modeling, her career seemingly started when she was just a teen. In 2015, she shared aphotoon Instagram of her posing with a throwback ad for LuLu’s, where a then-17-year-old Scott posed in a pink skirt and white top with a green bag.
“If only I could go back and tell 17 year old me a thing or two,” she captioned the post. “The lu crew let me have this bad boy today and I plan on putting it in my parents living room while their sleeping tonight 😜.”
She’s appeared onWild ‘N Out
Cannon’s showWild ‘N Outseemingly brought him and Scott together, as the model previously appeared on the series. She posteda picture on seton May 23, 2019, posing in a white crop top and shorts.
“When you hear babe was wildin the night before 🤣,” Scott wrote in the caption, adding that her time on the show was “nothing but love. so much talent and good vibes!”

She and Cannon mourned the loss of Zen in December 2021
“But I wanted to take him to the doctor to get the breathing and the sinus thing checked out,” he continued. “We thought it would be a routine process.”
“We were faithful and hopeful for that time. We carried on, he was still just playing with his brothers and sisters, I embraced every moment,” Cannon said. “Zen’s mom, Alyssa, was just the strongest woman I’ve ever seen. Never had an argument, never was angry. Was emotional when she needed to be but always the best mom, and continues to be the best mom … "
“I didn’t know how I was gonna handle today but I just really wanted to grieve with my family, people who love you. I didn’t want to make it about any pageantry so I kind of went back and forth of what I should do but I was always taught, you go through it you grow through it, you keep pushing,” Cannon told his audience. “I’m here to show that I can fight through this, I’m feeling it, I’m vulnerable, I’m open. This is a special show dedicated to my beautiful son Zen.”

On Dec. 9, Scott shared anemotional tribute to Zenon Instagram, along with a video montage of his short life. “Oh my sweet Zen. The soreness I felt in my arm from holding you is slowly fading away. It’s a painful reminder that you are no longer here,” she wrote.
“I caught myself looking in the backseat as I was driving only to see the mirror no longer reflecting your perfect face back at me,” Scott continued. “When I close a door too loudly I hold my breath and wince knowing a soft cry will shortly follow. It doesn’t come. The silence is deafening.”
She added, “These last 5 months we have been in this race together. We would hand the baton off to each other. You kept me going. It would be the middle of the night and you would smile at me. A surge of energy would fill my body and pure joy would radiate from within me. We were a team, both determined to see it through. It feels unbearable running without you now. I can’t.”
Cannon went onto thank fans for their kind words.
“It’s just been an outpouring of love that is really unexpected. I didn’t expect it from all over the world I really can’t thank you guys enough,” he said on the Dec. 8 episode of his talk show.
“When I’m talking about the guilt I don’t want even make it about me like, but I say thank you from Alyssa, Zen’s mom, and the rest of our family … She’s making it, you know, five minutes at a time,” he said. “But it’s but those words really, the tweets, it’s outstanding.”
Cannon also thanked Scott directly for “being that strength and being that rock” amid the difficult time.
“[I’m sending] love to Alyssa, love to her extended family, love to each and every mother that has ever had to lose a child had to deal with a child with special needs,” Cannon said. “I watched her growth … mothers are superheroes at every aspect, and I want to just take this time out to say she is doing well but continue to pray for her, continue to pray for our entire family. And we’re gonna get through it.”
Zen was diagnosed with high-grade glioma and Cannon and Scott were presented with the option of chemotherapy but decided against it. At best, Cannon was told the boy would only live to age 3 or 4 and when the actor asked if chemotherapy would extend Zen’s life or lessen his suffering, he was told “not really,” because of the placement of the tumor.
She’s “at peace"after the loss of her son
Amid the news that Cannon was expecting his eighth child with Tiesi in January 2022, Scottposted an emotional messageon Instagram about feeling “at peace” since the loss of Zen.
“It is painful having my son be a part of conversations that aren’t in alignment with his light and legacy. It isn’t something I chose for him or myself,” she added. “It’s important for me to let you all know.. I am centered, I am at peace.”
For his part, Cannon struggled with announcing the pregnancy with Tiesi.
“No one, we didn’t expect Zen to pass away … All of the news was so unexpected,” he said. “I wanted to definitely respect the grieving process with Alyssa, and Bre was respectful enough — she held off making our announcements and speaking on social media.”
Cannon continued, “And it was just one of those things like, you know, I didn’t know what to do. I didn’t know what to say when I was dealing with Zen or to hold off. Even right now, that it came out yesterday, that wasn’t planned to talk about it. We wanted to, you know, hold on as long as we can, but it happened. We here and I’m with my family I get to discuss it, I get to be open.”
She has tattoos with special meanings
Scott has a few tattoos, but she posted about two very special ones on the inside of her middle fingers on Instagram in June 2015.
On her left hand is a triangle with a circle in the middle, and on her left hand is a triangle with a tiny line in the middle. These are the symbols for “understand” and “explore,” respectively, which Scott described as the “two key principles in this wild ride of a life I have.”
“Last night, I got the opportunity to go get a tattoo of my son Zen as an angel on my rib,” Cannon said. “I’m still all bandaged up and it hurts right here right now … It was a lot of pain but it was so well worth it.”
He continued, “I enjoyed every moment of the experience to forever have my son right here as my rib, right here on my side, as my angel.”
Then on Feb. 20, 2022, Scott shared a photo ofher new tattooon Instagram: “ZEN” inked along her spine. “Standing in your light ✨,” she wrote in the caption.
She gave birth to her third child in December 2022
On Dec. 14, 2022, Scott and Cannonwelcomed their daughter, Halo Marie Cannon. They announced the news two weeks later, with Scott sharing an emotional video onInstagramthat reflected on welcoming Halo one year after the death of Zen.
“December 14, 2022. Our lives are forever changed ❤️,” Scott wrote in the caption. “Zen is in every breath I take. I know his spirit was with us in the room that morning. I know he is watching down on us. He shows me signs every day. I will hold onto this memory forever.”
Scott postedthe first photo of the newbornon Instagram just ahead of the New Year. In the snap, Halo wore a white onesie with a pink bow while lounging in front of a big bouquet of pink and peach roses. “HI BABY !! 💗 12/14/22 💗,” the proud momcaptioned the post.
“Earthbound DECEMBER 2022 ✨,” she wrote alongside one image, to which theWild N’ Outhost replied, “❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾.”
