Mariah Carey, Nick Cannon Living Apart

GTY_nick_cannon_mariah_carey_jtm_140402_16x9_992Nick Cannon confirmed that his six-year marriage to Mariah Carey is on the rocks.

The 33-year-old America’s Got Talent host broke his silence on Thursday about rumors of his impending divorce from Carey, 44.

“We have been living in separate houses for a few months,” Cannon told Insider.” [Right now] my main focus is my kids,”

TMZ reported that the high-powered couple have lawyers involved to negotiate property and custody agreements over their 3-year-old twins, Moroccan and Monroe.

“Divorce is a done deal,” the gossip site reported.

Their relationship allegedly suffered a big hit when Cannon appeared on Big Boy’s radio show in March and named Kim Kardashian as one of the celebrities he has bedded.

“That made Mariah insane and humiliated,” sources told TMZ. “She tore into Nick for weeks.”

Kardashian wasn’t the only source of friction between the couple: Carey has reportedly felt “abandoned” by Cannon because of his work schedule. The Always Be My Baby songstress allegedly thought he was spending too much time away from her and their children.

“They have been living apart for a while. This is not all of a sudden. There have been issues between them for a while. They are not getting along,” another source close to Carey told E! News.

“She wants to end it and it has been in the works for months, which is why her house in the Bahamas and the house in Bel Air are on the market.”

Carey and Cannon married on April 30, 2008, at the starlet’s Bahamas estate and every year since, the duo made a pubic effort to renew their vows — except for this past April.

A rep for Carey declined to comment to the Daily News on her client’s personal life.

Independent journalism still matters.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
