Nick Cannon has spoken out about his relationship with Mariah Carey via social networking site Twitter, amid reports that Carey has begun filing for divorce.  The America's Got Talent host has been married to the record-breaking singer since 2008 and the pair are parents to three-year-old twins Moroccan and Monroe. Last month Cannon was quoted as saying there was "trouble in paradise" but now the TV host has come out to deny the story. Cannon and Carey have not been seen in public together for a number of months and were also said to be living in separate houses. E! now reports that Mariah has begun divorce proceedings against her husband.

I have personally been absent from social media for the past few months for obvious reasons but I feel the need to finally speak up... — Nick Cannon (@NickCannon) September 3, 2014  

Because my family & I haven't been forthcoming with personal information, people are quick to paint negative pictures and spread rumours — Nick Cannon (@NickCannon) September 3, 2014

 

For the record I NEVER have, nor will I make a statement regarding my marriage. — Nick Cannon (@NickCannon) September 3, 2014

 

What infuriates me most is to hear people slander @MariahCarey . I will forever be in debted to her for blessing me with our children... — Nick Cannon (@NickCannon) September 3, 2014

I will always love her unconditionally for this and so much more. @MariahCarey is an amazing Mother and I trust her wholeheartedly... — Nick Cannon (@NickCannon) September 3, 2014

 

So to see false reports in the media stating otherwise is absurd! While I would like to remain silent I can no longer allow this to happen. — Nick Cannon (@NickCannon) September 3, 2014

 

If the media wants to portray me as the Bad guy that's fine... — Nick Cannon (@NickCannon) September 3, 2014

 

But it is unfair to drag innocent people into the equation... — Nick Cannon (@NickCannon) September 3, 2014

 

And finally, "Trouble in Paradise" is the dumbest phrase I've ever heard! I would never say that sh!t — Nick Cannon (@NickCannon) September 3, 2014
