Insiders claim Nick Cannon and Mariah Carey's marriage reached its breaking point over their differing opinions on kid rearing and her spending…
From Us Weekly via The Daily Mail
'[Nick] was too open about their marriage for her taste,' a source revealed to US. 'She's private, and some of the things he revealed in interviews disgusted her.
That wasn't the only source of disagreement between the couple though. Insiders suggest they also differed on how to raise their three-year-old twins Moroccan and Monroe.
'Mariah loves those kids but she lets them do whatever they want,' the source told Us. 'Nick would be like "Why are you letting them stay up late and eat cookies?" and Mariah would just snap at him not to tell her how to be with her kids. So then he always had to be the bad guy.'
Also her once-glittering career is dwindling, while Cannon's has gone from strength to strength.
Along with hosting America's Got Talent, he has several successful business interests including his own company Ncredible entertainment, making him worth close to $70 million.
'He's in a different stage of his life and his priorities changed,' a insider told Us. 'He's on his way up and she's on her way down.'
But old lavish habits die hard, and Mariah has been 'overspending and draining her fortune.'
The insider told Us: 'A big strain on the marriage has been that he feels he needs to work as much as possible because she's such a money drain. Her glam squad drive him nuts. Mariah travels with six people just to take care of her beauty needs.'
With a tour for her new album coming up, Mariah's way of coping is to pretend the split isn't happening and throw herself into preparations.
'She is tuning out the bad stuff, and like with everything, she is in her own world,' the insider told Us. The diva is also reportedly drinking champagne until 7am, not waking up until 4pm, and obsessing over pictures of herself.
'She stays up all night, looking at every frame of herself in every photo and dissecting it to death,' the insider said. 'I would like to say she is horribly upset, but she lives in a fantasy world.
