Nick Cannon may have declared that he would 'never be in another relationship again' but he is certainly ready to once again put a ring on his ex-wife Mariah Carey. 

While appearing on T.I.’s podcast ExpediTIously with Tip T.I. Harris!', the 'Masked' singer first explained how he is not for monogamy. "I think I’ll never be able to be with just one woman again. I did it in marriage, I was very faithful in my marriage. The reason why we split up had nothing to do with infidelity, nothing like that," Cannon, 38, shared referring to his marriage to Carey.

The pair were married between 2008 and 2014 and had their divorce finalized in 2016. During the interview, T.I.  joked that Cannon might want to call Carey and ask her if she'd like to get married again. Cannon responded saying, "If I was to do it again, it would be to her. It would be Mariah." 

He later added that the 'We Belong Together' singer will always be somebody that he loves as he spoke about their two "beautiful kids", twins Moroccan and Monroe, 8.

Upon stepping away from marriage, Cannon had realized that the "construct is not designed" for someone like him. He shared that he gave his marriage his all though, even before that, he had never really believed in marriage.

"But, sh*t, it was Mariah Carey. Whatever she say, I’m with it. If she wanted to say we was going to the moon, I’m like, ‘Let’s go.’ If I’mma marry somebody, I’mma marry her," he shared. 

He revealed that he will never be in a relationship again nor will he ever be married again. He shared that he does not "want to have to answer" to anyone and prefers to be by himself forever. However, he did admit that he would like to have 'more kids' and is a 'hopeless romantic'.
