Nick Cannon has often deemed himself a hopeless romantic, but that’s not enough to get him to tie the knot again.

When asked if he’d ever re-marry, the America’s Got Talent host told reporters at a recent Harper’s Bazaar fashion week event, “Never. That messes everything up. That takes the fairy tale out of it. Cinderella didn’t get married, she just lived happily ever after.” 

Although his six-year marriage to Mariah Carey didn’t last long, Nick loves being a dad and revealed that his children are the “best part of my life.”

But about those Chilli relationship rumors, the Howard University student played it coy. “She’s definitely a romantic,” he said. “That’s what life is about, when you can be in that vibe and embrace one another with no titles. And that’s where it gets too complicated.”

His ex-wife Mariah seems to think the opposite about marriage. She is now engaged to Australian billionaire James Packer.
