Nick Cannon will "forever be family" with Mariah Carey.
The 34-year-old actor – who recently separated from the ‘When You Believe’ hitmaker – has revealed that the pair will always make their children, 3-year-old twins Moroccan and Monroe, their "priority".
Speaking on ‘Good Morning America’, he explained: "Always focus on family. We’ll forever be family.
"At the same time, we’re there for our children, making them the No. 1 priority and understanding they’re loved and can have an amazing holiday."
His comments come only days after sources revealed that the couple’s split is getting contentious, with the pair "arguing over property and custody of the twins".
A source revealed: "I think they’re trying to work all these details out on property and the kids before it gets filed. They communicate because of the kids.
"She’s trying to keep it together. She’s focused on caring for her children and her upcoming five sold-out Christmas engagements in New York."
Meanwhile, the ‘America’s Got Talent’ presenter recently defended his decision to be open about his marriage breakdown.
He said: "That was a lot of people’s advice, ‘Lay low.’ Being a public figure, of course you don’t ever want to deal with your personal life in the public, but I’m the type of dude I deal with everything head-on.
"I’m not a hider, I never hold punches, hold my tongue. I’m as candid as I can possibly be, but I try and be as respectful, as classy and the best human being I possibly can be."
