Nick Cannon says his ex-wife Mariah Carey “doesn't want me” and “has put my crazy escapades behind her”

Nick Cannon said his ex-wife Mariah Carey “doesn't want” him anymore and is “over his crazy antics.”

The 43-year-old comedian and the 55-year-old singer were married from 2008 to 2016 and are now co-parents of their 13-year-old twins Monroe and Moroccan.

Since the separation, Nick has diligently expanded his family and now has a total of 12 children from six different women.

Last month, he made headlines by saying he would “absolutely” rekindle his relationship with Mariah if given the chance.

However, in a candid conversation with People, he admitted that Mariah would probably be less interested in giving their marriage another chance.

“Yeah, she doesn't want me,” Nick bravely said during Fox's fall press day, adding, “She's put my crazy antics behind her.”

Last month, he joked to E! News that he and Mariah “belong together” and said it would be “stupid” not to take the opportunity to get her back.

But even then he admitted that “she doesn't want me” and joked that he had taken in “a whole baseball team” of other children.

Now he added: “It must be crazy how they deal with me,” which is why it is “thanks to them” that the mothers of his children all get along with him.

He and his co-parents maintain their friendly relationship by “simply putting the kids first” because “if you put the kids first and leave your ego aside, you can accomplish anything.”

Nick is diving into back-to-school season after spending “an amazing summer” with his kids, where they all “hung out in Malibu, did a lot of traveling and went to the beach a lot. I think all the kids had a really good time.”

When school started again, Nick spoke excitedly about his seven-year-old son, Golden Sagon, whose mother Brittany Bell announced that he had skipped two grades.

“I have a seven-year-old in fourth grade and he is just so smart that even school is boring for him,” the handsome Wild 'n Out told us.

Last month he made headlines when he said he would “absolutely” rekindle his relationship with Mariah if given the chance; the couple is pictured in 2014.

Nick is pictured in July 2023 with his two youngest children, daughters Onyx and Halo, born in November and December 2022 respectively.

“So it's like re-engaging him and getting him excited because he had so much fun over the summer. So, OK, 'We can have just as much fun during the school year,' but it's kind of just about keeping the excitement going,” he said.

Meanwhile, he bluntly admitted that the prospect of Monroe and Moroccan becoming teenagers was “very frightening.”

“Teenagers are scary. I feel like I'm still a teenager. Watching my daughter grow into a young woman literally before my eyes is very scary,” he said.

Nick became a father of 12 children in December 2022 when he welcomed his youngest child, daughter Halo Marie, with Alyssa Scott.

Alyssa and Nick, who met years earlier on Wild 'n Out, had a son named Zen in 2021, but the baby suffered health problems, including a brain tumor, and tragically died at just five months old.

In November 2022, Nick had his eleventh child, a daughter named Zeppelin, with Abby De La Rosa, who also has three-year-old twins named Zion and Zillion.

Two months earlier, Nick had baby number 10, his son Rise Messiah with Brittany Bell, with whom he also has seven-year-old son Golden and three-year-old daughter Powerful Queen.

Less than two weeks before Rise's birth, Lanisha gave birth to little Onyx, making Nick a father of nine children for a very short time.

In July 2022, Nick's then-girlfriend Bre Tiesi gave birth to their firstborn, a son named Legendary, who was Nick's eighth child at the time.

After the birth of the dashing comedian's tenth child, a source blurted out to Us Weekly: “Mariah doesn't care about Nick's babies and baby mamas. There are too many to keep up with! She is happy for him and wishes him the best.”
