Nick Cannon and Mariah Carey

Nick Cannon and Mariah Carey

Nick Cannon has now filed for divorce from his wife Mariah Carey.

According to TMZ, the television host reportedly filed the papers in December, just a week after Mariah was said to have been discussing property settlement terms with her lawyers.

The website goes on to say the pair have agreed a deal but also noted that Nick isn't going to be entitled to any of the singer's earnings from her forthcoming Las Vegas residency.

Confirming earlier this week that she'd signed up to headline the Colosseum at Caesar's Palace in Sin City, Mariah's expected to receive over $30 million for the string of shows.

She also revealed that the crowd should expect to hear all 18 of her number one singles at the show.

Speaking on Ellen she explained: "I'm going to do my first ever residency in Vegas at Caesars. This is a special event for me.

"And again, I have to hope that the fans will enjoy this cause I'm gonna be performing, which was kind of inspired by my album 'Number 1's', and this is now the updated version with 18 of them."

Nick took to Twitter earlier this month to insist he wants to "move forward" and would never "say anything negative" about Mariah.

He tweeted: "I will never say anything negative about @MariahCarey We are forever a family rooted in love.

"I am always an open book but Personal matters are just that 'Personal.' So please respect my family and respect the process."

"I have no problem being painted as the bad guy. I got tough skin. Keep going! I just pray we ALL can move forward in the new year."
