In an intimate interview, Nick Cannon revealed recently that he does not believe in the institution of marriage anymore after he got divorced from pop mega star Mariah Carey. It has been almost five years since Nick and Mariah's highly-publicized divorce.

However, while Mariah Carey has already moved on from their failed marriage, it seems that Canon is still in love with his ex-wife after he said last year during an interview that he would marry Carey again if given the chance. 

A short glimpse into Cannon-Carey relationship

It can be remembered that Cannon and Carey were once one of the most celebrated couples in the entertainment industry. They started dating in 2008 after Cannon appeared in Carey's music video "Bye, Bye" and just after two months, they got married. 

Their marriage lasted for 6 years and in this span, they were given two children, Monroe and Moroccan. In one of the interviews of a news outlet, Carey said that Cannon is her "soulmate" and she even said that she never felt love like the way Cannon loves her. Meantime, Cannon also said during those days that Carey is beautiful outside and 10 times more beautiful outside.

However, everyone assumed that their relationship would last a lifetime, but Cannon filed for divorce in 2014. Everyone in the entertainment industry was stunned including their supporters and fans. According to a reliable source, it was discovered that Carey had been spending hours on the telephone talking with lawyers about the property and the custody of children. Luckily, both of them have a healthy co-parenting relationship and they are willing to settle everything including the custody of children.

Institution of Marriage

Recently, the world was stunned again after Nick Cannon revealed that he does not believe in marriage anymore. During his interview with Entertainment Tonight, he said: "I don't believe in marriage anymore. My mindset has changed. I have done that. I don't like doing things that I am not good at."

Cannon even added: "If you jumped out of a plane one time and it did not work out -- you would not do it again, would you? I barely survived. Why would I jump out of the plane again?" 

The news came just before Cannon headed into a blind date through his radio morning show "Nick Cannon Mornings." The radio host said that he cannot see himself anymore as a husband, but now focuses on himself, his career, and as a co-parent for his children. 

Cannon said: "I'm trying to fix myself. I'm trying to be the best me I can be, the best dad I can be, the best entrepreneur and young media mogul that I can be." 

Moreover, though Cannon said that he does not believe in marriage anymore and he is not good when it comes to the relationship he still welcomed his third child with Brittany Bell in 2017.
