Mariah Carey ‘Uninterested’ In Being A Mother Until She Met Nick Cannon

Mariah Carey revealed it all in her new memoir, “The Meaning of Mariah Carey.”

The star, 50, opens up about her marriage with Nick Cannon, and how before she met him she wasn’t interested in having kids.

″Our desire to have children became a force of nature and why we got married so quickly,” she wrote. The two share twins Moroccan and Monroe.

She also writes that she believes that their messy divorce could have been avoided,

″Honestly, I think Nick and I could have worked it out between the two of us, but egos and emotions got inflamed (which can translate into many billable lawyer hours, and ultimately it did),″ she wrote. ″It was tough. We both wanted to make sure everything was cool for our family. We will always be family, and we make it work.”

The pair finally got divorced in 2014, but remain family.

″He was a good guy. He was faith-based. He was ambitious,″ she added. ″He had been in the entertainment industry for a long time, so he understood the madness. He paid attention to me.”
