Divorce and breakups can be incredibly challenging, especially when children are involved. The process of moving on from an ex and transitioning into new relationships can feel overwhelming. Recently, singer Mariah Carey shared her engagement to Australian billionaire James Packer, and her ex-husband, Nick Cannon, responded in the most gracious manner.
Cannon took to Instagram to repost a funny image featuring a humorous take on the size of the engagement ring Carey received. His caption read, “Haha! This had me laughing out loud! So funny! #AllLove Congrats to Mariah and James! Wishing you both a wonderful future together… #GreatPeople #GreatCouple.”
The couple shares two children, four-year-old twins, Monroe and Moroccan, from their six-year marriage. Despite their past differences, it’s evident that both Cannon and Carey are moving forward positively. Cannon once shared his candid thoughts on marriage with Dujour Magazine: “I feel like marriage isn’t for everyone. A friend of mine said it best: if you heard there was a 50/50 chance of living or dying when you jump out of a plane, you probably wouldn’t go skydiving. There’s a similar chance with marriage. If it didn’t work out the first time, and you survived, maybe you shouldn’t try again.”
While I’ve never had particularly strong feelings about Cannon, I must admit that I admire his attitude now. It’s refreshing to see someone handle an ex moving on with such grace and humor. This kind of emotional maturity is commendable, especially when expressed through a lighthearted meme.
