Nick Cannon, Wishes To Rekindle Things With Ex-wife Mariah Carey, Appreciates Their Old Love
Nick Cannon, has revealed he would be open to rekindling things with his ex-wife Mariah Carey, under right circumstances.
In an appearance on The Hot Tee Talk show, the 41-year-old American rapper & television Host spoke affectionately of his ‘fantasy love’ and how no other love would ever compare.
The pair were married for eight years, before they went their separate ways in 2016.
The American’s Got Talent Host spoke highly of his ex-wife’s current boyfriend, longtime lover Bryna Tanaka, and how wonderful Tanaka was with the children Cannon shares with Mariah, 11-year-old twins Moroccan and Monroe.
Even at this, Cannon could not deny Mariah was his ‘Fantasy love’.
‘I truly respect her, the relationship that she’s been in for quite some time, and you know dude is amazing with my kids, and we got family gatherings… I truly respect her, but c’mon, that’s my fantasy love. That’s somebody I will always love,’ he explained.
‘I guess because I’m a true romantic, I’m a true believer in love, and I allow the capsules of love to be where they lie. And I’m not a timeline dude, I believe time is man made, we make it linear when I believe it’s more reciprocal.
‘I will never have a love like I have with Mariah. And I appreciate that. And that’s the thing, where the issue sometimes with spinning the block… sometimes the fantasy of spinning the block, it’ll never be what you think it’ll be.’
Nick said he would hesitate getting back with Mariah on the chance they would mess up their ‘fairy tale’ connection.
‘It was literally like a fairy tale with Mariah so I’d rather it be that way and I appreciate that fantasy because if I tried to go back and it wasn’t the same, like damn, I messed it up.
‘But, if I had the opportunity to, if it could be the way that it was, I’m there! Always be my baby!’ Nick said. ‘Don’t forget about us! We belong together!’ he added, referencing her hit tracks.
Nick has only been married once and that was to Mariah. They tied the knot in 2008 before officially splitting in 2016.
