In fact, Bell is a friend of Cannon's, and they grew up together.
"I wanted to make sure it was someone who was solid, spiritual and had the same views," he revealed. "She's been in my life. Our families grew up in the same projects together in San Diego. So there's a lot of substance there."
He also made sure to note, "Mariah, Moroccan and Monroe will always be my family, but we always can have other aspects of our family."
Congrats again to the happy, soon-to-be daddy of three!
