Nick Cannon and Mariah Carey are no longer a couple, but the two still get along very well and it seems that they managed to keep a close relationship. However, although the two are still close, Nick claimed that there is nothing more than that.

So, the famous singer revealed during a new interview on The Wendy Williams Show that he and Mariah are just co-parents and best friends. The host of the show was very direct with Nick, asking him the question: “Are you and Mariah still sleeping together? In my mind, I believe you are and there would be nothing wrong with that,” Wendy Williams said. Well, as expected, Nick immediately denied such a possibility.

“There would be nothing wrong with that, but that’s not the case,” he said. “There’s nothing but unconditional love there, I mean she’s gorgeous but you know, I’m respectful. I put the kids to bed and I go home,” he added. However, Nick was not able to convince Wendy with his answer, as the host said that she still believed there was something more than that.

“I’m rooting for you guys to get back together in five years,” she said, adding that Nick was responsible for the fact that Mariah ended her past two relationships with other men. “When she was with the billionaire? You broke them up,” the television show host said. But, once again, Nick denied the claims. He said that he actually had nothing do to with the fact that Mariah ended her relationship with billionaire James Packer.

Nick also said that the reason why he and Mariah remain so close is only because of their children and this is the only reason why he is always around. The star also said that the reason why he and Mariah decided to separate is linked to the fact that “in a relationship, it should be about growth. It should be a situation where everyone’s becoming a better human being in the relationship.” He also explained that he could be a better person and a better father outside from the house with Mariah.
