Nick Cannon says he'd 'absolutely' get back with Mariah Carey
Nick Cannon recently opened up about his feelings for his ex-wife, Mariah Carey, expressing a desire to rekindle their romance, even though he humorously acknowledged that Carey might not be interested.
In an interview with E! News, Cannon joked that it would be "stupid" not to consider getting back together, saying, "We belong together." However, he admitted with a laugh, "She don’t want me."
During the conversation, Cannon's co-host from 'We Playin’ Spades,' Courtney Bee, playfully reminded him that he now has ten children with other women, making a reunion unlikely. Cannon, who shares 13-year-old twins Moroccan and Monroe with Carey, reflected on his role as a father, emphasizing the importance of keeping peace among the mothers of his children, who he said all get along surprisingly well.
Cannon also shared that Carey has no issues with his expanding family, as long as it doesn't affect her own life.
