Nick Cannon Reacts to Mariah Carey's Engagement

Nick Cannon has broken his silence regarding his Mariah Carey's engagement to Australian billionaire businessman James Packer and he is maintaining his sense of humour.

Cannon had filed for divorce from Carey in December 2014 after six years of marriage. The two are parents to 4years old twins, son Moroccan and daughter Monroe while Packer split from second wife Erica Baxter in 2013. The two share three children. Packer proposed to the singer earlier this week with a 35-carat diamond engagement ring.

Cannon took to Instagram to comment Carey and Packer's engagement, alongside an image of him lying on a hospital bed beside Kevin Hart that bears the caption, “It's just a ring Nick. Ha! This made me laugh out loud for real!!! HILARIOUS!. #AllLove Congrats to @MariahCarey and James! May God Bless Your Future Union... #GreatPeople #GreatCouple”

Reports has it that Cannon was not given a heads up about the engagement, although he knew they would most likely get engaged based on how their relationship was progressing. “Nick is happy for them. Nick's children like Packer and he treats them well, so that's what he cares about. Nick is on very good terms with Carey. Nick is really just focused on his career at the moment” the source said

Carey and Packer began dating last summer and have often traveled together, domestically and abroad, with and without her and Cannon's twins. They visited Europe and Israel last June.
