Nick Cannon has opened up about his ex-wife Mariah Carey, once labeled by him as the "love of his life."

The host of Wild 'n Out, 43, was married to the Touch My Baby hitmaker from 2008 until 2016 and they share 13-year-old twins, Moroccan and Monroe.

Since parting ways with the songstress, Cannon, has fathered 10 additional children with five other women and has insured his private parts for $10M . However, it appears that despite several subsequent relationships since his separation, Cannon still apparently holds a torch for Mariah, 55.

Drawing inspiration from one of Mariah's songs, he stated: "We belong together."

Still, he doesn't think Mariah, who recently experienced heartrending grief following the same-day death of her mother and sister, would return his feelings.

In an interview with People, Cannon confessed: "Yeah, she don't want me."

He further added during Fox Fall Press Day: "She's moved on from my crazy antics."

Cannon also discussed his co-parenting situation with all his children's mothers in the interview, confirming that the arrangement is going smoothly.

He commented: "Yeah, I mean, to their credit, you know what I mean? Dealing with me must be madness."

Nick also emphasized that the key to managing his relationships is "just putting the kids first".

Nick Cannon has children with several women, including Brie Tiesi, 33, who appears on Netflix's Selling Sunset. Bre was met with criticism when she joined the show, particularly from fellow cast member Chelsea Lazkani, who found her relationship with Cannon uncomfortable.

In a candid moment on the show, Chelsea expressed her discomfort: "I find Nick Cannon and Bre's relationship rather off-putting."

She further explained her stance, saying: "I just think we're fundamentally so different. And ultimately, the way I live my life is very different to her as a Christian, so I don't know if we will ever be super, super close friends."

Despite the friction with Chelsea, Brie and Nick maintain a strong co-parenting bond. They recently took their two-year-old son Legendary for a fun day at Disneyland in July.

Bre shared a series of photos from the outing on social media, featuring herself and Nick donning Mickey Mouse ears and sporting Mommy and Daddy jackets.
