*Nick Cannon says ex-wife Mariah Carey is “the love of his life.”

“Like the greatest? I mean, I always talk about that,” he said in an interview with The Shade Room.

“Then it goes viral, and our fans get mad at me. But I was 12 years old with Mariah Carey pictures on my wall, and that becomes my wife. And the fact that she’s the coolest person I ever met.”

Cannon and Carey share 11-year-old twins Moroccan and Monroe. Last year, he welcomed baby number 12 and his second with model Alyssa Scott.

Cannon and Scott named their baby Halo Marie Cannon. Her birth came a year after the death of their son Zen — who was 5 months old when he died of brain cancer. The rapper and TV host also shares sons Rise Messiah and Golden Sagon as well as daughter Powerful Queen with model Brittany Bell.

Cannon is also dad to daughter Beautiful Zeppelin and twins Zion and Zillion with Abby De La Rosa. Additionally, he shares son Legendary Love with model Bre Tiesi and daughter Onyx Ice Cole with model LaNisha Cole.

Cannon recently admitted that his “biggest guilt” is not being able to spend enough quality time with all his children.

“No matter what’s happening in life. I’m like, ‘Wow, a person can really operate like that and don’t allow negative energy into their space,’” Cannon said about Carey in his interview with The Shade Room. The pair wed in 2008 but separated in 2014 before pulling the plug on their marriage in 2016. 

“I get a lot of this delightful disposition from her,” Cannon told The Shade Room. “She’s just always happy, always doing for others.”

“When I found out about how remarkable she was… that woman is not human. She’s a gift from God,” he added.
