Mariah Carey, Nick Cannon headed for splitsville?

MANILA, Philippines – Singer Mariah Carey and husband Nick Cannon are living separately, Cannon himself said in an interview.

“There is trouble in paradise.  We have been living in separate houses for a few months,” Cannon told Yahoo’s The Insider.

Cannon, however, insisted that his infidelity was not the reason for their split.

He said their utmost duty now was not to put their three-year-old twins in the middle of their personal issues.

Meanwhile, in a separate report by E! Online, Carey was reportedly devastated about the comments Cannon told Yahoo since they had agreed to work on a statement together.

“A joint statement was being prepared when he went and gave those quotes to The Insider,” The E! Online report said.

After Cannon went public about the state of their marriage, Carey posted in her Instagram account a photo of their three year-old twins hugging each other.

The singer and former American idol judge, however, neither confirmed nor denied her husband’s statement and kept mum on the status of their relationship.

Carey and Cannon got married in 2008.
