Nick Cannon says ex-wife Mariah Carey does not ‘want me’ and has ‘moved on from my crazy antics’
Nick Cannon said his ex-wife Mariah Carey does not ‘want’ him anymore and has ‘moved on from my crazy antics.‘
The 43-year-old comedian and the 55-year-old songstress were married from 2008 to 2016 and now amicably co-parent their 13-year-old twins Monroe and Moroccan.
Since their split, Nick has been vigorously expanding his family, to the point he now has a total of 12 children by six different women.
Last month he hit the headlines by saying he would ‘absolutely’ rekindle his relationship with Mariah if he were given the chance.
However, he has confessed that Mariah would likely be less keen to give their marriage another try, in a candid conversation with People.

‘Yeah, she don’t want me,’ said Nick gamely during the Fox Fall Press Day, adding: ‘She’s moved on from my crazy antics.’
Last month, he quipped that he and Mariah ‘belong together’ and said he would be ‘stupid’ not to seize the opportunity to take her back, he told E! News.
However, even at the time he acknowledged that ‘she don’t want me,’ joking about the fact that he has welcomed ‘a whole baseball team’ of other children.
Now he has added that ‘dealing with me must be madness,’ which is why it is ‘to their credit’ that his children’s mothers all get along with him.
He and his co-parents maintain their friendly equation by ‘just putting the kids first,’ as ‘if you put the kids first and remove ego, you can do anything.’
Nick is plunging into the back-to-school season after enjoying ‘a great summer’ with his children, during which they all ‘hung out in Malibu, traveled and went to the beach a lot. So I think all the kids really enjoyed themselves.’
With school back on in the picture, Nick spoke glowingly about his son Golden Sagon, seven, whose mother Brittany Bell announced he has skipped two grades.
‘I have a seven-year-old in fourth grade, and he’s just so smart that even school is boring to him,’ the Wild ‘n Out hunk shared.

‘So it’s like getting him re-engaged and excited because he had so much fun during the summer. So, all right: “We can still have just as much fun during the school year,” but it’s kind of just keeping the excitement,’ he said.
Meanwhile he regards the prospect of Monroe and Moroccan entering their teenage years as ‘very scary,’ he frankly acknowledged.
‘Teenagers are scary. I feel like I’m still a teenager. To see my daughter literally becoming a young woman before my eyes, it is very scary,’ he said.
Nick became a father of 12 in December 2022 when he welcomed his youngest child, his daughter Halo Marie, with Alyssa Scott.
Alyssa and Nick, who had met years earlier on Wild ‘n Out, previously had a son called Zen in 2021, but the baby suffered health problems including a brain tumor and tragically died at just five months old.

Two months earlier, Nick had Baby No. 10, his son Rise Messiah, by Brittany Bell, with whom he also shares son Golden, seven, and daughter Powerful Queen, three.
Less than two weeks before Rise was born, Lanisha gave birth to little Onyx, making Nick extremely briefly a father of nine.
In July of 2022, Nick’s then-girlfriend Bre Tiesi delivered her firstborn, a son called Legendary, who by then was Nick’s eighth child.
After the dashing funnyman’s 10th child was born, an Us Weekly source dished: ‘Mariah doesn’t keep up with Nick’s babies and baby mamas. There’s too many to keep up with! She’s happy for him and wishes him the best.’
