Nick Cannon Reflects On Being Mariah Carey’s Support System During Marriage: ‘I Was Able To Play My Position’

Nick Cannon is opening up about his marriage to Mariah Carey.

On his podcast Nick Cannon @ Night, Cannon reflected on being Mariah’s support system during their time together, saying, “When I was married, that was what we respected and actually admired about one another is that we were both on our own boss-level trajectory. I love the fact that you know she put all of her work, all of her passion, all of her art, and I could be there to be that support. […] I used to say like the thing that was dope was when she turned hers on, I turned mine off. So I was very comfortable in supporting her.”

He added, “Most men don’t get to marry Mariah Carey. I went in understanding, like, wow, this is one of the most amazing people to ever grace this planet, so I was able to play my position in a way. But I think in my nature, I’m so confident in who I am that no matter if you’re having a hard day, I’ve got a pillow, this is your soft girl era, go ahead and sit down.”

Cannon and Carey married in 2008 and welcomed twins Moroccan and Monroe in 2011. They separated in 2014 and finalized their divorce in 2016.
