Considering his history with women, Nick Cannon really shocked fans with engagement pictures shared on Instagram in July 2022. The America’s Got Talent host sparked engagement rumors that set the internet on fire with netizens trying to unravel the identity of the mystery woman he posted. The shocking revelation comes after the multi-talented entertainer said he would never find a love like what he had with his ex-wife, Mariah Carey.
Nick Cannon has been open about his battle with monogamy, finding it difficult to stay with one woman. The result of this is having multiple children from different women. Over the years, Cannon has courted bad media for his sexual escapades, thus, fans welcomed his engagement news with the hope that the multi-talented entertainer is ready to settle down. However, there seems to be more to the engagement photos and suggestive caption he shared on Instagram.
Nick Cannon’s Engagement Photos Are From His Music Video
Nick Cannon left his followers confused after sharing apparent engagement pictures on his Instagram page. The Love Don’t Cost a Thing star captioned the Instagram post: ‘I said I would never do it again but…Finally doing what the world wants me to do…’, sending fans into a frenzy. The first picture shows him cozying up to an unidentified model with their foreheads pressed together. The picture background also complemented the romantic scenario with city lights behind them at dusk. The second picture flaunts a huge diamond ring sitting ready in a box.
While there were mixed reactions about the authenticity of the photos, it turned out the photos were taken from the video for his song Eyes Closed. He shared an exclusive look into the track he described as a wedding anthem with Entertainment Today. “I’m doing what the world wants me to do, I’m dropping an amazing music video,” he said. Interestingly, some of his fans who were not convinced by the photos already made that guess. Some commenters on his post wrote ‘Is this promo for a video coming out soon’, ‘What movie is this for?’, and ‘Nah this gotta be a music video.’ Apparently, they know him too well to believe he is giving up singlehood.
He Is Not Opposed To Marriage Entirely
Nick Cannon has always made it clear that he is not cut out for marriage. However, if it ever happens again, it has to be better than the fairytale he lived with Mariah Carey. On The Hottee Talk Show podcast, the San Diego-born rapper said: “I will never have a love like I had with Mariah. It was literally like a fairy tale with Mariah so I would rather it just be that way.” He described marrying Carey as one of the greatest experiences of his life and the fact that he failed to make it work affected his faith in ever treading that path again.
While Nick Cannon may not be exchanging marriage vows in real life anytime soon, he is not opposed to the idea of marriage. “I love the idea of marriage, especially the ceremony, the proposing, the idea of just falling in love,” he told Entertainment Tonight audiences. “But marriage, and all that goes into that, is so … it’s a lot. You’re literally entering a partnership where two become one. I’m not built for that.” For now, Cannon is content with sharing his love and attention among his numerous children and the women he had them with.
