Nick Cannon and Mariah Carey are still legally married despite her engagement to billionare James Packer. And now Cannon is speaking out on why they are still husband and wife as rumors swirl that he is the one pressing pause on the process.

“There were so many rumors out there that I was holding something up,” he told Entertainment Tonight at the fitting for Perry Ellis’ presentation Monday. “Like, ‘Nah!’ That’s clearly not the case. Who made that up? Who put that out there?”

Word spread that Cannon didn’t want to sign off on the divorce in hopes of stopping her from tying the knot with Packer.

“I wish it was that easy where you can just sign something and say, ‘Oh, I’m done,’ but it’s a lot of things that go with that that are beyond my control,” Cannon added. “The only thing that’s important to me is my children. I want what’s best for them. I believe my ex feels the exact same way.”
Cannon and Carey are parents to five-year-old twins Monroe and Moroccan.

“Luckily, that’s all behind us now and everyone can move on and be happy. That’s where we are.”

Cannon added fuel to rumors that he was salty about the divorce when he released the song Divorce Papers last month.

He revealed, “That was more of a venting process of what this last two and a half to three years has been going on in my mind. I’ve never really been able to be personally on that level. I wasn’t upset with anyone. If I was upset with anyone, I was upset with the process.”
