Nick Cannon has no regrets about signing a prenup before marrying Mariah Carey. But, for Cannon, the experience has left him certain about one thing: he doesn't want to walk down the aisle again.

During an appearance on a recent episode of the On Par with Maury Povich podcast, the TV host looked back on his six-year marriage to the music superstar and explained why he had no issue signing the agreement. "And when it was all said and done, I think it protected both of us," he added.

The agreement itself wasn't the difficult part. For Cannon, the bigger challenge was everything that came with ending a marriage.

"I think because of some of the natures of, like, unmarrying are not good," he explained, adding that divorce "takes so long" and can be incredibly "draining." He said the process could have damaged their friendship if they hadn't made a conscious effort to handle it as a family.

Cannon and Carey married in 2008, separated in 2014, and finalised their divorce in 2016. They share 15-year-old twins, Monroe and Moroccan.

Despite the split, Cannon said neither has spoken badly about the other and praised the way they kept their children at the center of the situation. "We handled it out of love.

Never heard me say a bad thing about her. Never heard her say a bad thing about me.

And we just kind of made it about the kids. It's still smooth to this day.

We're all family, so it's all love," he said. The host emphasized that while the legal dissolution of a marriage is a taxing ordeal, maintaining a healthy co-parenting relationship remains his top priority.

Reflecting on the past, Cannon noted that the maturity they both displayed during the separation allowed them to move forward without bitterness. He believes that the foundation of their friendship remains intact because they chose to prioritize their children's well-being over personal grievances.

The podcast appearance has sparked significant interest among fans, as Cannon has often been private about the emotional toll of his high-profile divorce. By speaking openly, he hopes to shed light on the importance of amicable separations.

As he continues his career in television, Cannon remains focused on his professional projects and his role as a father. He reiterated that his decision to remain unmarried is a personal choice based on his desire to avoid the complexities of legal separation in the future.

Ultimately, the story of Cannon and Carey serves as a reminder that even after a marriage ends, mutual respect can foster a lasting, positive connection for the sake of the family unit.
