Mariah Carey finalises divorce from Nick Cannon - report

Mariah Carey has reportedly finalised her divorce from Nick Cannon.

The Hero singer and the TV personality married in 2008 in The Bahamas, and later welcomed fraternal twins Moroccan and Monroe in 2011.

However, the pair announced their decision to go their separate ways in August, 2014, with Cannon filing for divorce in December that year.

Carey has been reportedly pushing Cannon to settle their divorce for over a year, so she could marry her new partner James Packer, to whom she got engaged in January (16).

According to TMZ.com, Cannon finally signed off on papers recently, with a pre-nuptial agreement apparently making property settlement straightforward.

“She gets what she earned during the marriage, and he keeps what he earned,” the website states.

It is also claimed that Nick and Mariah have agreed on joint custody of their five-year-old twins, with neither entitled to child support.

The news of Mariah’s divorce finalisation comes after she hit headlines late last month (Oct16), with reports surfacing alleging that she had split from Australian billionaire Packer.

Rumours suggested the couple's very different lifestyles and Mariah's upcoming reality TV show had contributed to the separation, but her representative later spoke out to set the record straight.

The spokesperson confirmed the couple has decided to take some time apart, admitting the singer has not seen Packer since cutting short a vacation in Greece in September (16).

"Mariah and James had a fight in Greece, and have not seen each other since," a statement issued to Entertainment Tonight said. "The fight was not because of any cheating allegations or excessive spending by Mariah. James is one of the most successful businessmen in the world."

However, the representative insisted that the couple will address the status of their relationship in due course.

The statement continued, "They are trying to work it out. Right now, they're not sure if they will stay together. They are discussing it, and plan to release an official statement together about their future."

The couple began dating in June, 2015 and Packer proposed to Carey with a massive 35-carat diamond ring during a private dinner in New York in January (16).
