Nick Cannon Confirms What We All Feared About His Marriage to Mariah Carey

This is really sad! Speculation started earlier this week that Nick Cannon and his wife Mariah Carey
were on the brink of divorce. Neither party has mentioned the 'D' word
themselves, with Mariah staying totally mum on the issue. But today, Cannon himself spoke up
and admitted that things haven't been going well for a while now
between the couple, who have two kids together. Ugh! This makes me
genuinely sad for reasons I cannot fully explain.


While Cannon is open about the fact that he and Mariah have been "living separate lives,"
he doesn't seem to think that this means their marriage is over. Or if
that's what he's really thinking, he's not saying it. Cannon seems like a
good guy and, true to this, says his biggest priority throughout this
time of upheaval with Mariah is to maintain a stable and happy life for
their children. Nick Cannon. I have quietly come to believe that you are
the greatest.

Nick wouldn't tell interviewers what, exactly, what caused their marital problems. But he was really quick to shoot down the notion that their schism was because of any infidelity. That's what the rumor mill had been speculating could be the source of his friction with his lady fair.


Living two separate lives in two separate homes
isn't exactly a vote of confidence for their marriage in the long-term,
but I really want to believe in these crazy kids. Maybe his upfront
nature and honesty with the reporters was an attempt to send a message
to Mariah that he's shaping up, if, in fact, he is in any way the
responsible party.


I really hope these two work it out. Their kids are beautiful, and
this duo is perfectly kooky for each other -- that's reason enough to
try and make it work. If they need further incentive, I would remind
them until they get back together, this will be me:
