FOX

Nick Cannon has found his next "baby mama."

The Masked Singer host, 42, shared some flirtatious words with special guest Luann de Lesseps, whom he joked is his "new baby mama" as she presented a clue on Wednesday's episode of the Fox singing competition series.

He told the Real Housewives of New York City alum, 57, she was "looking amazing" as she stepped out onstage, adding: "We have a love thing going."

"We do. We do. I won't tell if you don't," said de Lesseps, as Cannon quipped: "I won't. Shhh."

Panelist Robin Thicke then joked: "We always find out nine months later."

"Thank you, baby," said Luann.
