“Ever since I was pregnant with the twins, I’ve always asked Nick to play the piano for me on such a special day,” explained De La Rosa in her Instagram Story, with a snap from their first Christmas together in 2020.

She then shared a photo in which she and Cannon can be seen sitting beside a piano wearing matching Santa costumes with their kids gathered around.

In another image, Beautiful played with the piano’s keys as Cannon looked on.

De la Rosa added: “Fast forward 3 years, and 3 kids later… he’s playing us the same song on the same beautiful little piano… except this time, he can’t get past the first few cords [sic]. Thank you, @nickcannon for always playing for us on this special day.”

After the quote, she added, “Merry Christmas to you and yours. Hope you created your music today.”

“This year’s holiday photos were taken 11 days after I had Beautiful. I didn’t want to post all out of pure insecurity with my body,” De La Rosa wrote on her Instagram Story earlier in December. “I’m sad that I haven’t had grace for myself and allow that to get in the way of sharing my family with you all. I had 3 kids in 23 months. I’m working on being more proud of my body rather than ashamed.”

She shared additional photos of the family of five posing in front of a Christmas tree, as Cannon sported a Santa hat with an ugly Christmas sweater covered in tinsel, and De La Rosa dazzled in an off-the-shoulder red dress with a thigh-high leg slit.
