Sometimes it’s best to keep the past in the past. Nick Cannon, 33, may be learning that lesson the hard way, now that he and Mariah Carey, 44, have split after six years of marriage. The decision to separate came two months after Nick’s March 2014 interview with Power 106’s Big Boy, when the America’s Got Talent host bragged about five celebrity women he’s been with in the past, including Kim Kardashian, 33. Mariah allegedly felt humiliated and was furious with Nick that he cozied up to Kim, one report claimed. Is she jealous of the Keeping Up With the Kardashians star?
“Mariah isn’t jealous of anyone. Mariah is very confident and knows it begins and ends with her! That’s how she genuinely feels. In her mind, no one can hold a candle to her. And even though she’s not jealous of Kim, I think she’s mad at the fact that she’s getting older and the spotlight is slowly drifting away from her and focusing on the younger stars. It’s a crazy business, and it brings out the worst in people,” a source tells HollywoodLife.com EXCLUSIVELY!
Although a report of Nick’s infidelity recently surfaced, a source tells us that Nick “never cheated on [Mariah].”
“He chased her for years and when he finally got her, he couldn’t believe it. He really was floored that Mariah gave him a shot,” our source said.
Even though things have recently gone sour for Nick and Mariah, he never cheated. Major components in the couple’s split were distance and “back-and-forth” fighting between the two.
Mariah’s rep told Us Weekly, “I don’t comment on Mariah’s personal life,” her rep said, “but Mariah is focusing on her children and her upcoming tour.”
Nick announced their split on Aug. 21 to The Insider and acknowledged that he and Mariah have been living separately since May.
We certainly hope Nick and Mariah can work things out before deciding to divorce. And if they do divorce, we hope they keep things amicable.
What do YOU think, HollywoodLifers? Should Mariah be jealous of Kim Kardashian?
