For Nick Cannon , Mariah Carey will always be his baby. Though it’s been eight years since the pair finalized their divorce, Nick still hopes that he and Mariah —with whom he shares 13-year-old twins Moroccan "Roc" Cannon and Monroe "Roe" Cannon —might find their way back to each other. “We belong together,” Nick joked to E! News in an interview alongside his We Playin’ Spades cohost Courtney Bee , adding on whether he’d get back with his ex, “Yes, absolutely.

) But on what’s holding the pair back—especially since Mariah split with boyfriend Brian Tanaka in December—Nick quipped, “She don’t want me.” To which his cohost Courtney joked, “Yeah, you done left and had like 10 kids.” And Nick—who in fact does share ten additional children with various partners—took the joke in stride.
“A whole baseball team,” the 43-year-old agreed. “Like, ‘No, you can't come back home.’” Jokes about tension in his blended family, however, don’t sting.
After all, Nick explained that the mothers of his children— Brittany Bell , Abby De La Rosa , Bre Tiesi , LaNisha Cole and Alyssa Scott in addition to Mariah—get along “amazing.” “But that's the thing, I don't expect them to,” the Masked Singer host added. “I think that's the thing that people might always think that it would be that.
But it's like everybody lives their own life.
