Is Mariah Carey and husband, Nick Cannon’s marriage on the rocks?

According to MailOnline;

Nick Cannon has confirmed he and Mariah Carey are currently living in separate homes.

The America’s Got Talent host admitted there is in fact trouble in paradise during a recent interview, resulting in the pair separating. The 33-year-old, however, denied allegations that his six year marriage was threatened by infidelity.

Speaking with The Insider Cannon explained,: ‘There is trouble in paradise…we have been living in separate houses for a few months.’ After shooting down rumours that cheating caused the break, the star said his three-year-old twins are his ‘main focus’.

Meanwhile, TMZ.com reported his wife was furious when Nick revealed a list of five celebrities he had slept with during a very candid interview with Power 106 radio. Mariah was left feeling ‘humiliated’ following the interview, which also featured him revealing when he first had sex with his wife. The couple are reported to have separated back in May and have been secretly working out a property settlement and custody agreement over their twins with their lawyers, according to the gossip website.

Sources close to the couple say their marriage started to unravel in March following Nick’s interview, when he reflected on his short romance with Kim back in 2006. He claimed he had too many ex-lovers to list them all, saying: ‘Are you kidding me this is L.A.? That’s the whole purpose of it, you have sex with actresses, singers, models.’ When told he could just name five, the star had his list ready: ‘That’s easy. OK, Mariah Carey, Christina Milian, Nicole Scherzinger, Selita Ebanks, oh, Kim Kardashian.’ He then elaborated about Kim, now married to rapper Kanye West, saying: ‘You just forgot (about her) because there have been a lot of people since me.’

In an interview with another station a week later, he tried to backtrack over his comments and praised his wife’s sex skills. He said: ‘She doesn’t even know who Kim Kardashian is. She doesn’t pay attention to that. She doesn’t care when I talk about our sex life because our sex life is amazing.’

Mariah and Nick, who have a 12 year age difference and married after just two months of dating, have spent most of 2014 living separately, according to numerous reports.

‘Mariah has had several closed door meetings with divorce lawyers,’ a source told In Touch Weekly. ‘But Nick’s being more passive. He’s less inclined to pull the trigger, perhaps because of the kids. He’ll definitely wait for Mariah to file for divorce, but he won’t go down without a fight. He wants a chunk of her $500 million fortune.’ They added: ‘Nick’s sensible and realises that the twins would have a more stable existence if Mariah had full custody. But he wants generous visitation rights.’

Aside from their three-year-old fraternal twins Monroe and Moroccan, the feuding pair share four lavish homes in New York, Los Angeles, Aspen, and Windermere Island (in the Bahamas). The 45-year-old pop diva and the 33-year-old presenter are allegedly having a trial separation while they renovate their $10million TriBeCa loft and sell their Bel Air mansion for $13million.

The insider noted: ‘They’re using the construction as a cover. They’re not living together because they can’t stand each other.’ Mariah and Nick also share a $5million private jet and a cavalcade of cars – including a $400,000 Lamborghini.

The America’s Got Talent host last mentioned his wife during a shout-out at the BET Awards in July, when he said ‘hey baby’. The duo’s last red carpet appearance was at the SAG Awards in January, and their last public sighting was at a February 12 MTV event.

According to Page Six, the former American Idol judge was so suspicious of Nick’s nightclub hosting gigs she hired a security guard.

‘The security guard wasn’t there to keep the girls away from him,’ a source explained. ‘It was to keep him away from the girls.’ And the Looking For A Dream rapper was reportedly also jealous that Carey was romancing hip-hop star Nas. ‘Bottom line is they do not trust each other,’ an insider told Life & Style.

Normally over-the-top with PDA-filled posts – Nick hasn’t tweeted anything about Mariah since November, and she last shared a family portrait for Father’s Day in June.
