Nick Cannon confirms separation from wife Mariah Carey: 'We have been living in separate houses for a few months'

The 44-year-old singer and her husband of six years are reportedly heading toward a divorce, according to multiple reports, apparently sparked by public embarassment over Cannon's comments about having had sex with Kim Kardashian.


Nick Cannon confirmed that his six-year marriage to Mariah Carey is on the rocks.
The 33-year-old "America's Got Talent" host broke his silence Thursday about his rumored impending divorce from Carey, 44.
"We have been living in separate houses for a few months," Cannon told The Insider. "(Right now) my main focus is my kids,"

TMZ reported earlier that the high-powered couple has already gotten lawyers involved to negotiate property and custody agreements over their 3-year-old twins Moroccan and Monroe.

"Divorce is a done deal," the gossip site reported.

Mariah Carey Pampers Twins With Pedicure In Adorable New Photo

‘Dem babies’ are no longer babies! Monroe and Moroccan Cannon, now 3, posed for a photo taken by Mariah Carey while dipping their feet into an at-home pedicure tub.

So So Definitely Fired: Mariah parts ways with JD's "managing"

Mariah Carey has hired a new manager after parting ways with longtime collaborator Jermaine Dupri.

The “Hero” hit maker hired her super-producer pal as her manager last autumn, but after less than a year in his new role, Dupri is stepping down from the position.

A statement released by Dupri reads: “I’m a very hands-on person when it comes to my work. I put my all into every project. But when I’m not allowed to do what I do, then I know it’s time for me to move on. Mariah and I enjoy working together and will continue to make great music together in the future.”

Carey hired Dupri in the middle of production of her 14th studio album, “Me. I Am Mariah… The Elusive Chanteuse,” which she had been working on for the past two years.


The record was finally released in May, but had a disappointing debut in the U.S. selling just 58,000 copies in the first week.

Carey had previously been managed by music veteran and former “American Idol” judge Randy Jackson

She has now reportedly hired Def Jam Recordings president Kevin Liles, who also manages Jay Z and Ludacris, to oversee her career, according to Billboard Magazine.

is actually going to get a real manager!

Mariah Carey Sheds Her Manager...Again

It looks like the "elusive chanteuse" continues to elude career stability.

Mariah Carey has parted ways with longtime musical collaborator Jermaine Dupri as her manager, and has
been working closely with Kevin Liles, who was president of Def Jam during the singer's stint at the label, Billboard has learned. Sources say "nothing official" has been inked with Liles' firm KWL Enterprises, but the two have been working together since the June launch of Go N'Syde's Carey-branded Butterfly interactive beverage line.

"I'm a very hands-on person when it comes to my work," Dupri tells Billboard in a statement. "I put my all into every project. But when I'm not allowed to do what I do, then I know it's time for me to move on. Mariah and I enjoy working together and will continue to make great music together in the future." Reps for Liles, Carey and Carey's label Def Jam declined comment.

The reteaming with Liles is the latest in an increasingly long line of management changes Carey, 44, has undergone during the last few years, which in 2013 alone included stints with Randy Jackson/Irving Azoff tag team and Bruce Eskowitz of Red Light Management before Dupri came onboard that fall. In the past decade, she also worked with current Jennifer Lopez manager Benny Medina (2003-2008) and the late Chris Lighty (2008-2012); other former managers include Randy Hoffman and, briefly, Sandy Gallin.

The news arrives on the heels of disappointing sales of Carey's 14th studio album, Me. I Am Mariah... The Elusive Chanteuse, which has sold 103,000 copies since its May 27 release, according to Nielsen Soundscan, and falls off the Billboard 200 on the chart dated Aug. 9 after just eight weeks. The album underwent multiple release-date changes (it was at one point slated for July 2013 to capitalize on "#Beautiful," Carey's hit duet with Miguel), but has failed to chart a Billboard Hot 100 single since ballad "You're Mine (Eternal)" spent one week at No. 88 in February. The disco-fied "You Don't Know What To Do," featuring Wale, was announced as her latest single in June but has yet to appear on any Billboard charts.

Should The Elusive Chanteuse fail to rechart, it would be the shortest Billboard 200 run of any of Carey's studio albums.
