Nick Cannon Confirms He “Absolutely” Would Get Back With Mariah Carey

For Nick Cannon, Mariah Carey will always be his baby.
Though it’s been eight years since the pair finalized their divorce, Nick still hopes that he and Mariah—with whom he shares 13-year-old twins Moroccan "Roc" Cannon and Monroe "Roe" Cannon—might find their way back to each other.
“We belong together,” Nick joked to E! News in an interview alongside his We Playin’ Spades cohost Courtney Bee, adding on whether he’d get back with his ex, “Yes, absolutely. Be stupid if I wouldn’t.” (For more with Nick and Courtney, tune into E! News tonight, August 6 at 11 p.m.)
But on what’s holding the pair back—especially since Mariah split with boyfriend Brian Tanaka in December—Nick quipped, “She don’t want me.”
To which his cohost Courtney joked, “Yeah, you done left and had like 10 kids.”
And Nick—who in fact does share ten additional children with various partners—took the joke in stride. “A whole baseball team,” the 43-year-old agreed. “Like, ‘No, you can't come back home.’”
Jokes about tension in his blended family, however, don’t sting. After all, Nick explained that the mothers of his children—Brittany Bell, Abby De La Rosa, Bre Tiesi, LaNisha Cole and Alyssa Scott in addition to Mariah—get along “amazing.”
“But that's the thing, I don't expect them to,” the Masked Singer host added. “I think that's the thing that people might always think that it would be that. But it's like everybody lives their own life, before me and after me.”
He continued, “So I think that's how you keep the peace and everybody moving, like everybody worried about themselves and not worried about what someone else is. As long as the kids are happy and they have the strongest understanding, I think that's what makes sense. You gotta operate out of that.”
But with his and Mariah’s twins already in their teen years, Nick took a moment to lament the approaching end of their coparenting days.
“We gonna be done soon,” he reflected. “We got teenagers now. I'm about to shed a tear. It's happening too fast.”

She continued, "I will remember the sound of Nicks voice saying 'it's a girl' and the look of everything we've been through flash across his face. I will remember the sound of her crying out with her first breath and feeling her heartbeat against mine. My sweet girl, I got my surprise!! We love you Halo Marie Cannon!"
