For months now, we’ve been hearing reports that Nick Cannon and Mariah Carey are headed for divorce.

Cannon denied the rumors at first, but as the couple stopped speaking publicly about their relationship and disappeared from one another’s social media pages, it became more and more apparent that something was amiss.

Earlier today, Cannon and Carey dropped the act, and Nick confessed in an interview that they are currently living apart.

“There’s trouble in paradise,” said Cannon in an interview with The Insider. “We’ve been living in separate houses for a few months.”

Though he admits his marriage has hit a rough patch, and makes no predictions about the future, Cannon says there’s no truth to the rumors about his infidelity or claims that Carey hired a security team to keep him from flirting.

Nick was tight-lipped on the matter of what did spark the separation, leading many to believe that Cannon’s comments about Kim Kardashian in a recent interview did, in fact, send Mariah into a jealous rage, as reported.

If that’s the case, it’s unlikely that either party will ever confirm it, but for now Cannon wants to make clear that his children are his top priority:

“My focus is on my kids,” he said to conclude the interview.
