Nick Cannon feels lucky to have ex-wife Mariah Carey in his life.
The comedian, who recently welcomed his 12th child in December, called the “We Belong Together” hitmaker, 53, “the love of his life.”
“Like the greatest? I mean, I always talk about that,” he said in an interview with The Shade Room. 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.”
Cannon became a dad in 2011 when he and Carey welcomed twins Moroccan and Monroe, now 11. He and the “Obsessed” singer separated in 2014 before pulling the plug on their union in 2016. I get a lot of this delightful disposition from her,” he went on. “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 their space.’”
“When I found out about how remarkable she was… that woman is not human. She’s a gift from God,” Cannon added. “The Masked Singer” host recently became a father of 12 after Alyssa Scott gave birth to their baby girl, named Halo Marie.
The pair also welcomed a son named Zen in April 2021; however, the infant died from brain cancer five months later.
Cannon went on to welcome son Legendary, daughter Onyx, and son Rise with Bre Tiesi, Lanisha Cole, and Brittany Bell, respectively, in 2022.
Bell, 35, gave birth to son Golden, 5, and daughter Powerful, 1, in February 2017 and December 2020, respectively.
He also shares twins Zion and Zillion, 1, with Abby De La Rosa, as well as a baby girl named Beautiful Zeppelin whom the pair welcomed on November 11.
The “Drumline” star said in July 2022 that he will never “have a love like I had with Mariah. I’m a true believer in love and I allow the capsules of love to be where they lie. I’m not a timeline dude,” he said on the Hottee Talk Show Podcast.
“It was literally like a fairytale with Mariah so I would rather it just be that way. I appreciate that fantasy because if I tried to go back and it wasn’t the same, I’d be like, ‘Damn, I messed it up,’” he continued.
But he added, “If I had the opportunity, if it could be the way it was, I’m there.”
