Nick Cannon Says He'd 'Absolutely' Get Back Together With Mariah Carey

Nick Cannon hasnt ruled out a reconciliation with his ex-wife, Mariah Carey , but hes aware that rekindling their romance eight years after a highly publicized divorce may be a bit of a pipe dream.

In a joint E! News interview  with his We Playin Spades co-host Courtney Bee that aired Tuesday, Cannon said hed absolutely get back together with Carey, with whom he shares 13-year-old twins , Moroccan and Monroe. 

[It would] be stupid if I wouldnt, the actor and comedian said, before winking at one of his exs hit songs. We belong together.

Still, he acknowledged ruefully that she dont want me. 

Cannon and Carey first met at the 2005 Teen Choice Awards. However, they werent romantically linked in the media until about three years later, when Cannon appeared in the music video for Careys 2008 single Bye Bye. In May of that year, it was confirmed theyd secretly tied the knot in the Bahamas. 

Rumors  of marital strife began surfacing in mid-2014, roughly a year after Cannon and Carey had renewed their vows in a Cinderella-themed ceremony at Disneyland. By that December, Cannon confirmed that he and Carey had separated.

Their divorce was finalized in November 2016. That same year, Cannon publicly swore off getting married again, telling DuJour : Theres like a 50/50 chance of a marriage working. If it didnt work out for you the first time, and you still survived it, you probably shouldnt do it again.

Of course, the famous exes have publicly moved on. Besides Moroccan and Monroe, Cannon has welcomed an additional 10 children with five different women. Carey, meanwhile, split from boyfriend Bryan Tanaka in December after about seven years together. 

In his E! News interview, Cannon joked that rearing a whole baseball team of kids means its highly unlikely hell be getting back with Carey.

Like, No, you cant come back home, he said, before pointing out that Carey and the other five mothers of his various children get along amazing.

Though Carey hasnt commented on Cannons latest remarks, she did shut down a TMZ reporters inquiry about whether shed consider remarrying her ex in 2019. 

What is he, my last hope? she quipped.
