WASHINGTON, DC - AUGUST 26: Entertainer Nick Cannon attends the 60th Anniversary Of The March On Washington at the Lincoln Memorial on August 26, 2023 in Washington, DC. The march commemorates the 60th anniversary of Dr, Martin Luther King Jr.’s “I Have a Dream” speech and the 1963 March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom where more than a quarter million people marched on the National Mall for civil rights.
Nick Cannon has openly admitted that he’s just not cut out for traditional monogamy. And the proof is in the ever-increasing size of his family. But one thing’s for sure – he’ll always have a special place in his heart for his ex-wife, R&B diva Mariah Carey. In a recent interview on The Diary Of A CEO podcast, the actor and host opened up about how Carey’s support as he dealt with his 2012 lupus diagnosis likely saved his life.
“She was my rock,” Cannon said in the interview. “She went hard. To be honest, I probably wouldn’t be alive if it wasn’t for how hard she went with the doctors, with me, my stubbornness.”
