Nick Cannon Calls Ex Wife Mariah Carey ‘A Gift From God’

Nick Cannon Gushes Over His Ex Wife Mariah Carey

Years after their divorce, Nick Cannon is still gushing about his ex-wife, Mariah Carey. The father of 12 talked about his famous ex in The Shade Room.

“Like the greatest? I mean, I always talk about that. Then it goes viral, and our fans get mad at me. But I was 12 years old with Mariah Carey pictures on my wall, and that becomes my wife. And the fact that she’s the coolest person I ever met,” he said.

He continued: “She’s just always happy, always doing for others. No matter what’s happening in life. I’m like, ‘Wow, a person can really operate like that and don’t allow negative energy into they space’… When I found that out about how remarkable she was, that woman is not human. She’s a gift from God.”

Mariah and Nick tied the knot at Carey’s private estate in the Bahamas in April 2008 after a six-week romance. Three years later, they welcomed fraternal twins, son named Moroccan and a daughter named Monroe. In 2014, the couple stunned fans when they called it quits after six years of marriage.

Even after their 2014 separation and 2016 divorce settlement, Cannon and Carey made sure to keep their little ones’ happiness at the front of their minds.

“It’s all about love,” the comedian said of his coparenting relationship with the Grammy winner during an interview with Amazon’s Style Code Live in February 2017.

“You put the kids first, but then when you understand that you have unconditional love for these human beings and you want the best existence for them, then you put whatever differences you may have had aside.”
