Mariah Carey has revealed that the strain from being a working mom took a toll on her marriage to Nick Cannon. In her memoir The Meaning of Mariah Carey, she said, “Along with double the joy came double the responsibility. It was a lot of work and a lot of having to be home and available.”
She continued, “Making the necessary adjustments to being working parents in entertainment took its toll on our relationship, and the end of our marriage came fast, as it began. Even though we had prenuptials in place, the divorce took two years to become final and costs hundreds of thousands of dollars in legal fees.”
Mariah said that she and Nick could have worked things out but “eogs and emotions got inflamed.”
