Nick Cannon, the 39-year-old television host and actor, has changed his mindset on marriage following his divorce from singer Mariah Carey.
During an interview with ET Online, he expressed his clear feelings, stating: ‘I don’t believe in marriage anymore. My mindset has changed. I have done that.’ ‘I don’t like doing things that I am not good at.’
Discussing his recovery from heartbreak, Nick expressed, ‘I was a broken soul, but now I am back out on the scene.’
In a previous interview with People magazine in January 2018, Nick, who also has a two-year-old son Golden with Brittany Bell, revealed that he still holds ‘unconditional love’ for Mariah despite their divorce.
The Wild ‘n Out host mentioned, ‘It’s funny when they say “co-parenting” — that phrase is a little redundant. You can’t co-parent, you have to parent, and that’s what we do well because when it comes to our children, we’re selfless individuals — they’re first.’
‘You’re reminded that it’s all about unconditional love and they’ve got to understand that to its core.
‘Whenever we can show that – even if we’re not together, [that] we love each other unconditionally — and become that fine example to our children, they’ll grow up to be good human beings, hopefully.’
The former couple, who share eight-year-old twins, daughter Monroe and son Moroccan, got married in 2008 and announced their split in 2014, finalizing their divorce in 2016.
Following the divorce, Mariah was briefly engaged to billionaire James Packer before beginning a romance with her current boyfriend, dancer Bryan Tanaka.
