Nick Cannon will not sign papers to divorce Mariah Carey

Mariah Carey has made it clear that she's completely moved on from ex-husband and the father of her children Nick Cannon. But even though the 46-year-old singer is also now engaged to billionaire James Packer, Cannon is still refusing to sign their divorce papers.


According to TMZ, sources close to the former couple revealed that Carey has been trying to get Cannon to sign off the divorce papers for almost a year but he will not budge. The 35-year-old actor has apparently repeatedly declined to sign the agreement forms, which would finalise the divorce, and has not explained why. In fact, TMZ says that Carey is getting frustrated and she wants out now.

 The couple separated in August 2014 and Cannon filed for the separation in December that year. Even though Cannon is not in a relationship, Carey's been loved up with Australian businessman Packer. The pair became engaged in January during an intimate dinner in the city with Carey's friends and family present.

The engagement came eight months into their romance. Carey, who is completely loved up, has made no attempt at disguising her affection for the 48-year-old casino mogul, inviting him onto the stage at her Valentine's Day show for a loving kiss. Earlier this year, the pop diva described her relationship with Packer on Low Down with Diana as a "fantasy".

If Carry and Packer do get hitched, it will be Carey's third marriage, having previously marrying Cannon, the father of her four-year-old twins, and music executive Tommy Mottola in 1993. Packer has also been married twice before. The businessman was married to first wife Jodhi Meares for three years before parting ways in 2002. He separated from his second wife Ericka, with whom he has three children, in 2013.
