Nick Cannon has revealed that he doesn’t believe he will ever find another love like the ‘fairy tale’ marriage he had with Mariah Carey.

The presenter, 41, was married to the singer, 53, between 2008 and 2016 and the couple share 11-year-old twins Monroe and Moroccan.

While they may have split over six years ago, Nick – who has his eighth, and reportedly ninth, child on the way – admitted that Mariah will always hold a special place in his heart.

He revealed on The Hottee Talk Show podcast: ‘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.

‘I will never have a love like I had with Mariah. It was literally like a fairy tale with Mariah so I would rather it just be that way.’

Nick admitted that he would rekindle the romance if it were able to be exactly like it was before, adding: ‘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.”

‘But, if I had the opportunity, if it could be the way it was, I’m there.’

Mariah has been with boyfriend Bryan Tanaka for six years since their split, while Nick has enjoyed a series of romances in the resulting years.

He revealed that he would not want to get in the way of the couple’s relationship as Bryan has been a great stepdad to his children.

Nick added: ‘The dude is amazing with my kids and we got family gatherings and things together, so I truly respect it.

‘But come on, that’s my fantasy love. That’s somebody that I will always love.’

Since his split from Mariah, Nick has had five-year-old son Golden and 18-month-old daughter Powerful Queen with Brittany Bell, 13-month-old twin sons Zion and Zillion with Abby De La Rosa, and is expecting another baby with Bre Tiesi.

He also had son Zen with Alyssa Scott, who tragically died of brain cancer at five months old last December, and Abby De La Rosa is also currently pregnant but has remained tight-lipped on whether the baby is Nick’s.

Nick, who is currently expecting his eighth child, revealed in May that he doesn’t believe his is ‘built’ for marriage.

He explained: ‘That [marriage to Mariah], to me, was one of the greatest experiences of my life, and for that to have come to an end… why would I go back, if I couldn’t make that work out right?

‘Once I gave my all to a scenario going forward, I’d have to be presented with something I’d never seen before, never experienced, in order for me to be willing to go back to do something like that.

‘Because I did my best in this space, and now there’s a new journey in my life that’s different. I’m not going to backtrack and put myself in that position again, because it doesn’t get any better than that.

‘I love my family, all of my children, and every woman that has given me the blessing of being able to experience that.

‘But marriage, and all that goes into that, is so … it’s a lot. You’re literally entering a partnership where two become one. I’m not built for that.’
