Mariah Carey seemingly closed the chapter on her ex-husband Nick Cannon and moved on amid his recent comments about having 12 kids. The former couple tied the knot in 2008 and had twins, Monroe and Moroccan, before finalizing their divorce in 2016. They have since been co-parenting their two children.
However, Cannon, who welcomed 10 more kids later, explained his decision to become a 12-time father on “The Breakfast Club” podcast. He admitted that it was a “trauma response” to his and Carey’s split. Now, a source claimed that the latter has since responded to his remarks.
Mariah Carey wasn’t surprised about Nick Cannon’s family planning claims, says source
Rob Shuter #ShuterScoop learned about Mariah Carey’s reaction to her ex, Nick Cannon’s comments about their divorce, and his decision to have 10 more kids after. A source dished that the former couple, despite their co-parenting relationship involving their twins, are “distant at best” at the moment.
Carey has reportedly kept her bond with the former Nickelodeon star strictly about their two children, Monroe and Moroccan. The insider, a friend, alleged that she “doesn’t have much to do with Nick outside of the kids.” The musician has been “polite,” but not without maintaining her distance from all his “baby drama,” taking into account his latest remarks.
On Monday, the comedian-actor appeared on “The Breakfast Club” podcast and made rare comments about becoming a 12-time father. Cannon confessed that the decision to expand his family was a “trauma response” to his breakup with the Grammy winner. He asserted that he wasn’t “acting out,” but called his actions “careless” and that he could have “thought the process through a little bit more.”
However, Nick Cannon’s family planning claims allegedly failed to surprise Mariah Carey. Shuter reported that a second source revealed she has “known for years” that her ex-husband “never healed” after their divorce. As for Carey, she “values peace” and her only priorities are the “twins, her music, and keeping her life drama-free.”
The insider concluded by describing Cannon as a “part of her [Carey’s] past, not her present.”
