Nick Cannon has no regrets about signing a prenup before marrying Mariah Carey
But, for Cannon, the experience has left him certain about one thing: he doesn’t want to walk down the aisle again.
During an appearance on the On Par with Maury Povich podcast on recent episode, the TV host looked back on his six-year marriage to the music superstar and explained why he had no issue signing the agreement.

Cannon said he was “cool” with the prenup because it was designed to protect Carey, “her entity, her global conglomerate,” while also keeping both of them covered.
“And when it was all said and done, I think it protected both of us,” he added.
The agreement itself wasn’t the difficult part. For Cannon, the bigger challenge was everything that came with ending a marriage.
“I think because of some of the natures of, like, unmarrying are not good,” he explained, adding that divorce “takes so long” and can be incredibly “draining.”
He said the process could have damaged their friendship if they hadn’t made a conscious effort to handle it as a family.
Cannon and Carey married in 2008, separated in 2014 and finalised their divorce in 2016. They share 15-year-old twins, Monroe and Moroccan.
Despite the split, Cannon said neither has spoken badly about the other and praised the way they kept their children at the center of the situation.
“We handled it out of love. Never heard me say a bad thing about her. Never heard her say a bad thing about me. And we just kind of made it about the kids.”
