Nick Cannon says ex-wife Mariah Carey will 'always be my baby'

Nick Cannon has dubbed his relationship with Mariah Carey a “fantasy love.”

The American television host appeared on The Hottee Talk Show Podcast in which he revealed that he would get back with the We Belong Together singer in a heartbeat.

“That’s my fantasy love. That’s somebody I will always love,” the comedian said.

Cannon was previously married to Carey from 2008 to 2016. They share 11-year-old twins Monroe and Moroccan together.

"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. I'm not a timeline dude," he told the host. "I will never have a love like I had with Mariah."

He further explained that the issue with fantasy is that it will never truly be what we think it will be.

"It was literally like a fairytale with Mariah so I would rather it just be that way. I appreciate that fantasy because if I tried to go back and it wasn't the same, I'd be like, 'Damn, I messed it up,'" he continued.

He also said that if he had the opportunity to have it the way it was, he is there.

Talking about her current relationship, the 41-year-old said that the guy is amazing and they often see each other during family gatherings.

Carey has been in a six-year relationship with boyfriend Bryan Tanaka while Cannon welcomed twins Zion Mixolydian and Zillion Heir with Abby De La Rosa last year.
