Beyoncé and Jay Z aren't the only ones dealing with divorce rumors. According to several reports, Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon are headed towards a split and have been separated for months. A source told TMZ that Carey, 45, and Cannon, 33, have been living in different houses since May.
Reportedly divorce lawyers have already been contacted and the couple is negotiating a property settlement as well as custody agreement. Carey and Cannon are parents to twins Moroccan Scott and Monroe. According to TMZ, the only time the couple see each other is when it's about their children.
Sources claim things went downhill for the couple after Cannon's appearance on Big Boy's radio show in March where he talked about his sex life with Carey and hookups with past girlfriends. During the interview Big Boy asked the "America's Got Talent" host to name five ex-girlfriends, which he did. Sources told TMZ that Carey flipped when she heard Cannon name Kim Kardashian as a former lover.
"We're told Mariah tore into Nick for weeks... feeling humiliated and the relationship never recovered," TMZ wrote. "We're told it went from bad to worse when Nick went on Howard Stern and talked about Mariah not giving it up before they got hitched. She went nuclear."
The "Hero" singer is reportedly also upset that her husband keeps taking job after job when they don't even need the money. Carey thinks his hectic work schedule is keeping him away from their children, TMZ reports.
Sources told the site that Cannon feels his wife has become "impossible" because she is always surrounded by "yes men" and can't stand it when he disagrees with her. There were also rumors that Carey suspected that Cannon might be cheating so she hired security guards to keep him away from other women.
"The security guard wasn't there to keep the girls way from him," a source told Page Six. "It was to keep him away from the girls."
"He hasn't been staying at their home," the source added. "He's been living out of hotels. They're fighting a lot."
