If you say so sir… Nick Cannon’s Father Talks Divorce Rumors, Cheating With divorce rumors confirmed and a formal gag order in place, Nick Cannon’s father has taken on the role of mouthpiece on his son’s behalf regarding his split from MiMi. Now he wants to be sure to put it out there that there was no extracurricular smashing going on on Nick’s end, since he already considered himself the luckiest guy in the world with her. Via PageSix : Mariah Carey’s father-in-law James Cannon says son Nick would never cheat on Carey — even though women surely came on to him. James also told a Page Six source that estranged Cannon and Carey could’ve been a “power couple” like Jay Z and Beyoncé if only his son concentrated more on his wife’s career. A devout Christian, James said outside his California home of reports Carey grew jealous of Nick being surrounded by women: “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.” He said, “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?’ ” Recent news of a split came as a shock. “Everything was beautiful as far as I knew,” James said. “The separation has really caught us off guard.” He added Carey was “at our home two weeks ago, talking and laughing . . . I’ve never seen them argue.” And, “I see Mariah as an angel to our family . . . I never saw [her] as a diva.” James theorized that if the star couple collaborated on work, it would have saved their relationship. “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.” James is still hopeful. “They need to stick this out,” he said, adding the couple has spent too much time apart with, “teams of people pulling them separate ways.” “The love is always going to be there, 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.” Aw, hopefully they can come to terms and work it out. But Daddy Cannon needs to hop up out of their business…
