*Nick Cannon has shared how he really feels about marriage, making clear that he has zero plans to walk down the aisle again.

“I don’t believe in marriage anymore,” the 39-year-old ex-husband of Mariah Carey and father of three told Entertainment Tonight. “My mindset has changed. I have done that.”

Cannon was married to Mariah Carey for about eight years, from 2008 to 2016. They welcomed their twins, Monroe and Moroccan, in 2011. The “Wild ‘N Out” host maintains a close friendship with his ex as they continue to co-parent.

Cannon says it was his divorce from the songstress that changed his views on marriage.

“If you jumped out of a plane on time and it did not work out — you would not do it again, would you?” he said, adding: “I barely survived. Why would I jump out of the plane again?”

These days, Cannon is focused on fatherhood and his career.

“I’m trying to fix myself. I’m trying to be the best me I can be, the best dad I can be, the best entrepreneur and young media mogul that I can be,” he said. “So I’m really just focused on me and being the best, because for some reason I haven’t gotten this relationship thing right. I’m not good at it. I don’t like doing stuff that I’m not good at.”

Cannon also noted that while he may be done with marriage, he remains open to dating. 

“It’s the funniest thing, my kids call me a player. I was like, ‘Who taught you that word? Who’s been talking to you?’ And [Moroccan’s] like, ‘Dad you can’t be a player forever.’ I’m like, this is the worst,” Cannon said. 

“I am a hopeless romantic,” he added. “So I was like, to be able to engage with someone and kinda just have a real moment opposed to always being about, ‘Oh, I’m searching, I’m looking, I’m single. I’m trying to fall back on that.”

In February 2017, Cannon welcomed his third child, a baby boy named Golden, with Brittany Bell.
