Why did Nick split with Mariah Carey?

Mariah and Nick have remained fairly tight lipped about why they divorced.

And Mariah only spoke highly of him in her bestselling memoirs The Meaning of Mariah Carey.

However, Nick said in an interview with Wendy Williams that they had grown apart, and that this led to their split.

But he made a point that they would always remain amicable and put their kids’ needs first.

He told Wendy: “I feel like when two people are in a relationship, it should be about growth.

“It should be a situation where everyone’s becoming a better human being in the relationship. So when you get to a point where there’s no longer any growth and you’re not bettering each other…

“I felt like it was probably best, especially for our children, since they’re the No.1 priority if I could be the best human being and the best father from outside of that house.”

Is Nick Cannon currently married?

Nick is not currently married. He is believed to be in a relationship with Alyssa Scott.
