Nick Cannon filed for divorce from Mariah Carey

After six and a half years of marriage, Nick Cannon and Mariah Carey have called it quits.

Although it looked like the marriage was kaput for much of 2014, Nick made it official by filing for divorce on Dec. 12. TMZ reports he quietly submitted the papers after hashing out a deal with Mariah… And the timing worked out well for her because it will exclude Nick from taking a cut out of her lucrative new Vegas deal.

In October, Nick told Meredith Vieira that he and Mariah were dedicated to forming a healthy co-parenting relationship for the sake of their 3-year-old twins.

“It’s truly just staying focused on family and what’s right and getting through these times and just doing what’s right for the kids,” Nick said. “We’ve always been people who are kinda on the go, coming and going, so their life hasn’t changed one bit.”
