Nick Cannon reacts to exes Mariah Carey and Kim Kardashian’s viral TikTok
Nick Cannon has nothing but nice things to say about his exes Mariah Carey and Kim Kardashian teaming up for a TikTok video.
The “All That” alum gushed over the “shocking” and “epic” social media collaboration during an interview Thursday.
“That song that they were doing [the] TikTok to is a song that I produced and worked on with Mariah, so even that made it special,” Cannon, 42, bizarrely told “Entertainment Tonight” of “It’s a Wrap” — despite not being credited as a songwriter or producer on the 2009 track.
In the footage, Carey and Kardashian’s respective daughters — Monroe, 11, and North, 9 — danced to the tune and pushed their moms offscreen when the A-listers attempted to join in.
Cannon revealed Monroe “has the entertainment bug” and is following in Carey’s footsteps.
“[You can] definitely see that connection with her and her mom,” the “Masked Singer” host told “ET,” adding, “It’s beautiful, the fact that they get to have fun with each other.”
Although Cannon noted that Monroe does more than lip-synch on social media, he said, “I don’t even know if I’m allowed to talk about it. Mariah’s like, ‘Let me handle this. I got this.’”
He and Carey, 53, welcomed Monroe and her twin brother, Moroccan, in 2011, three years after the couple wed. They separated in 2014 and divorced in 2016.
Cannon, who is now the father of 10 more children with five different women, co-parents his preteens with the “Hero” vocalist.
The “Drumline” star told “Hot Tee Talk Show” listeners in July 2022 that he would get back together with Carey — saying the same about Kardashian, whom he dated in 2006.
“I’d definitely spin the block,” he said at the time.
Kardashian, 42, has been married three times — to record producer Damon Thomas from 2000 to 2004, former basketball player Kris Humphries from 2011 to 2013 and rapper Kanye West from 2014 to 2022.
The reality star shares daughters North and Chicago, 5, as well as sons Saint, 7, and Psalm, 3, with West.
Cannon has taken credit for introducing Kardashian to the Yeezy founder, 45, “in passing” at his 26th birthday party.
“[Their relationship] made so much sense,” he said last summer. “They were such a beautiful union. I’m rooting for them to get back together.”
PDA alert!
Chase Stokes couldn’t help but show off his new girlfriend, Kelsea Ballerini, on Instagram Thursday, sharing a photo of her planting a big kiss on his cheek.
“imy❤️,” the “Outer Banks” star wrote on his Story — short for “I miss you,” as the country singer is currently on tour.
The sweet snap shows 29-year-old Ballerini’s arms wrapped around Stokes, 30, as she kisses the side of his head with their hands intertwined.
Ballerini also supported her new beau on social media Thursday by re-sharing a poster for the third season of his Netflix show.
The pair first sparked dating rumors last month after Stokes shared a series of Instagram photos that featured Ballerini. The “Penthouse” singer could be seen leaning into the actor in one particular photo as they watched the National College Football Championship together.
Ballerini and Stokes were also seen holding each other close in a group picture.
The following week, Ballerini was quizzed on her relationship status by fans, to which she gave a cryptic response.
The “Half of My Hometown” songstress posted a video on TikTok showing a screenshot of gossip Instagram account Deuxmoi theorizing that her romance with Stokes was just a PR stunt.
She had a hilarious response, saying, “I know, I know, I know. Stop reading, stop reading. Stop looking. But what is happening, guys? What? Let’s not do this.”
She captioned the video, “I’m about to break up with the internet 5 sure 😂.”
Ballerini finalized her divorce from Morgan Evans in November 2022 after filing to end their nearly five-year marriage that August.
Earlier this week, the “Blindsided” singer candidly broke down how her union failed in a bombshell-filled interview on the “Call Her Daddy” podcast.
Among the myriad of revelations, she admitted that she never envisioned herself walking down the aisle and has not spoken to her ex-husband since filing for divorce.
A source later told Page Six exclusively that Ballerini allegedly cheated on Evans, 37, with The Chainsmokers member Drew Taggart in August 2019 at Lollapalooza.
Stokes, for his part, has been on the dating market since his breakup from his “Outer Banks” co-star Madelyn Cline in November 2021.
He and Cline, 25, called things off after more than a year together.
Riley Keough took the plunge for her first red carpet since mom Lisa Marie Presley’s death.
The actress, 33, stepped out for the “Daisy Jones & The Six” premiere in Los Angeles Thursday night alongside her husband, Ben Smith-Petersen.
Keough looked lovely for the “1970s glam”-themed event in a black Schiaparelli Haute Couture gown featuring a deep V neckline, a corset-style lace-up back and a shimmering skirt covered with glass fringe and bugle beads.
She accessorized with a pair of black velvet opera gloves and shoulder-grazing broken green glass statement earrings, also from Schiaparelli, along with pointed-toe black pumps.
Smith-Petersen matched his wife in an all-black suit with a white button-up and silver rings.
Keough stars in the Amazon Video adaptation of Taylor Jenkins Reid’s bestselling novel of the same name, and some of the costumes in the Fleetwood Mac-inspired musical miniseries paid tribute to her late grandfather, Elvis Presley.

Page Six confirmed last month that Keough and Smith-Petersen had secretly welcomed a baby girl.
The stunt performer alluded to the surprising reveal while reading a letter written by his spouse during Lisa Marie’s memorial at Graceland.
“Thank you for showing me love is the only thing that matters in this life. I hope I can love my daughter the way you loved me, the way you loved my brother and my sisters,” the note read in part.
“Thank you for giving me strength, my heart, my empathy, my courage, my sense of humor, my manners, my temper, my wildness, my tenacity. I’m a product of your heart, my sisters are a product of your heart, my brother is a product of your heart.”
Smith-Petersen, who wed Keough in 2015, did not disclose what they named their bundle of joy, when she arrived or whether she was able to meet her maternal grandma.
However, an eagle-eyed fan caught Lisa Marie’s mother Priscilla Presley’s ex Marco Garibaldi referring to the little one as Tupelo in an Instagram Live earlier this month.
Lisa Marie — the only child of Elvis and his widow, Priscilla — died on Jan. 12 at the age of 54 after going into cardiac arrest.
In addition to Riley, Lisa Marie was also mom to twin daughters, Finley and Harper Lockwood, 14, along with son Benjamin Keough, who died by suicide in July 2020 at the age of 27.
Riley’s “Benjamin Storm” collarbone tattoo, a tribute to her late brother, was on full display in her “Daisy Jones” premiere ensemble.

Lisa Marie and Ben were reunited in burial at Elvis’ Memphis, Tenn., estate.
Meanwhile, Riley and Priscilla, 77, reportedly stopped speaking after the latter decided to contest Lisa Marie’s will.
However, sources told The Post earlier this month that the granddaughter-grandmother duo were estranged for close to eight years before Lisa Marie’s passing.
“Daisy Jones & The Six” premieres March 3 on Amazon Prime.
