Nick Cannon and Abby De La Rosa are sharing an update on their 2-year-old son Zillion.

On Tuesday, the Masked Singer host, 43, and the radio personality, 33, shared a joint post on Instagram in honor of World Autism Day, in which they announced that their son Zillion, 2, had been diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder.

"Today our family recognizes World Autism Awareness Day which is beyond meaningful to us because our amazing 2 year old, Zillion, was recently diagnosed with ASD - joining the unique energy of others like Niko Telsa, Sir Isaac Newton, Albert Einstein and Michael Angelo, just to name a few dynamic individuals," they wrote in the caption.

"Our beautiful boy experiences life in 4D and teaches us something new everyday! His love, strength and brilliance light up every room he enters! We are blessed that God had placed such an amazing spirit under our guardianship and we have accepted this assignment wholeheartedly!"

Cannon and De La Rosa share twins Zion and Zillion, as well as daughter Beautiful, 16 months.

For Halloween this year, De La Rosa and Cannon's three kids all dressed as bumblebees, with the twins dressed in black-and-white striped onesies with hoods and wings on their backs, and Beautiful wearing a similar costume fit for a baby.

De La Rosa wore a black-and-yellow striped costume that was decorated with white flowers and featured a tutu-like mini-skirt. She accessorized with black leather boots and a headband that looked like a bee's antenna.

Around her neck, she wore a set of three matching necklaces, each with the name of one of her children, as well as a black flower choker.

Cannon sported an all-white beekeeper's suit, fit with a hat and netting that came down around his face and neck to protect him.
