Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon Heading for divorce?

Say it isn't so! Reports are emerging that after six years Mariah Carey and hubby  Nick Cannon could be "headed for divorce".

It was only May 2013 that the couple renewed their vows, but now rumour has it that the pair are on a trial seperation while they renovate their Tribeca loft apartment, and that they're in talks with divorce lawyers.
The pair have three-year old twins together, Monroe and Morocco, and own four homes - one in New York, the loft in LA, one in Aspen and one in the Bahamas.

The rumours have emerged after a source told the media that "Mariah has had several closed door meetings with divorce lawyers.

"But Nick's being more passive. He's less inclined to pull the trigger, perhaps because of the kids. He'll definitely wait for Mariah to file for divorce, but he won't go down without a fight. He wants a chunk of her $500 million fortune."

They added: "Nick's sensible and realises that the twins would have a  more stable existence if Mariah had full custody. But he wants generous  visitation rights."


The pair haven't been seen publically together since February at an MTV event.The source elaborated, that the couple are using the renovation as a cover up for the fact that they aren't living together, as "they can't stand each other."

Trust issues are said to be the cause of the split according to a source who told Life & Style magazine: "Bottom line is they do not trust each other."

"When they spend time together these days, it's just bickering. Mariah seemed to give up on the marriage earlier this year. And now he's checked out too."

And further support for comes from a source who told said that Mariah had previously hired a security guard to follow Nick on his night club hosting gigs to "to keep him away from the girls."

Mariah will be embraking on an 11-date tour in October, starting in Japan, while Nick is currently filming for his hosting role on America's Got Talent.

When asked about the rumours, Mariah's rep said: "I don't comment on Mariah's personal life."

Evidence seems to point to the fact that the pair aren't in a happy place, but let's hope things are at least more amicable than the gossip suggests.
