Nick Cannon said his ex-wife Mariah Carey doesn’t “want” him anymore and has “moved on from my crazy antics.”
The 43-year-old comedienne and the 55-year-old singer were married from 2008 to 2016 and are now parents to 13-year-old twins Monroe and Moroccan.
Since their split, Nick has expanded his family considerably, now having a total of 12 children with six different women.
Last month, he made headlines when he announced that he would “absolutely” rekindle his relationship with Mariah if given the chance.
However, he has admitted that Mariah would probably be less inclined to give their marriage another chance, in a candid chat with People.

“Yeah, she doesn’t want me,” Nick bravely said during the Fox Fall Press Day, adding, “She’s moved on from my crazy antics.”
Last month, he said he and Mariah “belong together” and said he would be “stupid” if he didn’t take the chance to take her back, he said E! News.
Yet he admitted then that “she doesn’t want me” and joked about welcoming “a whole baseball team” of other kids.
Now he adds that “it must be madness to associate with me” and so it is “to their credit” that the mothers of his children all get on well with him.
He and his co-parents maintain their friendly relationship by “putting the kids first,” because “if you put the kids first and let go of your ego, you can accomplish anything.”
Nick is diving into back-to-school season after having “an amazing summer” with his kids, where they all “hung out in Malibu, traveled, went to the beach a lot. So I think all the kids had a really good time.”
Now that school has started again, Nick has spoken highly of his seven-year-old son Golden Sagon, whose mother Brittany Bell announced he has skipped two grades.
“I have a seven-year-old son in fourth grade and he’s so smart that even school is boring to him,” the Wild ‘n Out hunk said.

“So it’s like, we’re getting him engaged and excited again because he had so much fun over the summer. So, OK, ‘We can still have just as much fun during the school year,’ but it’s just a matter of keeping the excitement going,” he said.
Meanwhile, he admits that the prospect of Monroe and Moroccan entering their teenage years is “really scary.”
“Teenagers are scary. I feel like I’m still a teenager. To see my daughter literally grow into a young woman before my eyes is very scary,” he said.
Nick became a father of 12 children in December 2022 when he had his youngest child, daughter Halo Marie, with Alyssa Scott.
Alyssa and Nick, who met years earlier on Wild ‘n Out, had a baby boy named Zen in 2021, but the baby struggled with health issues, including a brain tumor, and tragically passed away at just five months old.

In November 2022, Nick welcomed his 11th child, a daughter named Zeppelin, with Abby De La Rosa, who also has three-year-old twins named Zion and Zillion.
Two months earlier, Nick gave birth to baby No. 10, his son Rise Messiah, with Brittany Bell, with whom he also has a son Golden, seven, and a daughter Powerful Queen, three.
Less than two weeks before Rise was born, Lanisha gave birth to little Onyx, making Nick a brief father of nine children.
In July 2022, Nick’s then-girlfriend Bre Tiesi gave birth to her firstborn, a son named Legendary, who was then Nick’s eighth child.
After the funny man’s tenth child was born, We weekly source said, “Mariah doesn’t keep track of Nick’s babies and baby mamas. There are too many to keep track of! She’s happy for him and wishes him the best.”
