Over the weekend, we told you that Nick Cannon’s father, James Cannon, shared a questionable and seemingly messy Facebook status that many assumed was about his son and daughter-in-law’s relationship woes.
“Here a thing to talk about if the wife love sex and the man can’t stand making love to her. What should that women do?” he questioned in a post that he later claimed was pulled from his 2011 book, The Calling.
Heres a thing, if the husband say no lies, and the wife lies all the time, what should that man do?
Here a thing, if the wife put on 200 pounds and the husband like a nice slim wife what should that man do?
If a husband tells his wife not to have an abortion, and she it anyways, what should that man do?
Here a thing, if a husband wants to have ten children and his wife only wants two children then what should that man do?”
James reportedly spoke to a Page Six source since making the post and he seems to be rooting for Nick and Mariah to work through their issues.
“They need to stick this out,” he reportedly said before adding that they have already spent too much time apart.”Teams of people pulling them separate ways.”
“The love is always going to be there,” he continued. “But they just don’t have that quality of time,” he said. “The last thing Nick will want to do is look back and think the marriage blew up in his face.”
As for rumors that the marriage fell apart because Mariah couldn’t deal with Nick constantly being surrounded by women, James reportedly had this to say:
“Were temptations ever there with other women? Not for Nick, he genuinely loved the married life . . . But did that stop other women coming to him? Probably not.”
“I know Nick tries really hard to stay focused and would say: ‘I’m with the most outstanding, gorgeous woman. I’ve hit the jackpot so why would I be with someone else?’”
He also supposedly claimed that news of the split came as a bit of a surprise to him.
“Everything was beautiful as far as I knew,” James said. “The separation has really caught us off guard.”
He went on:
[Mariah was] “at our home two weeks ago, talking and laughing . . . I’ve never seen them argue.”
“I see Mariah as an angel to our family . . . I never saw [her] as a diva.”
Strangely, he also reportedly told the gossip column that he thinks the marriage would’ve lasted if Nick was more hands on in regard to Mariah’s career.
“If Nick could have somehow ran her business, or worked in conjunction with her, they would have been such a power couple in Hollywood,” he said. “It’s difficult, but look at Beyoncé and Jay Z.”
In other Nick and Mariah news, according to TMZ, the estranged couple reportedly met for dinner last Friday in Tribeca. Sources are claiming that they’re also getting along a lot better since separating. However, insiders add that it’s all for the sake of the children and that there’s no chance for romantic reconciliation.
