Nick Cannon confirms separation from Mariah Carey. Read It All Here
The America's Got Talent host admitted there is in fact trouble in paradise during a recent interview, resulting in the pair separating.
The 33-year-old, however, denied allegations that his six year marriage was threatened by infidelity.
Speaking with The Insider Cannon explained,:'There is trouble in paradise…we have been living in separate houses for a few months.'
After shooting down rumours that cheating caused the break, the star said his three-year-old twins are his 'main focus'.
Then on the same day his interview was released, Cannon posted a video to his Twitter where he accepted the ALS ice bucket challenge in nothing but a towel.
He had promised to enact the charitable dare naked, but compromised with the wrap around his waist.
The occasional actor challenged the remaining AGT judges Howard Stern and Howie Mandel as well as Shaquille O'Neal.
Meanwhile, TMZ.com reported his wife was furious when Nick revealed a list of five celebrities he had slept with during a very candid interview with Power 106 radio.
Mariah was left feeling 'humiliated' following the interview, which also featured him revealing when he first had sex with his wife.
Famous ex: Nick briefly dated Kim Kardashian back in 2006 - between her 1st and 2nd marriage
The couple are reported to have separated back in May and have been secretly working out a property settlement and custody agreement over their twins with their lawyers, according to the gossip website.
Sources close to the couple say their marriage started to unravel in March following Nick's interview, when he reflected on his short romance with Kim back in 2006.
He claimed he had too many ex-lovers to list them all, saying: 'Are you kidding me this is L.A.? That's the whole purpose of it, you have sex with actresses, singers, models.'

When told he could just name five, the star had his list ready: 'That's easy. OK, Mariah Carey, Christina Milian, Nicole Scherzinger, Selita Ebanks, oh, Kim Kardashian.'
He then elaborated about Kim, now married to rapper Kanye West, saying: 'You just forgot (about her) because there have been a lot of people since me.'
In an interview with another station a week later, he tried to backtrack over his comments and praised his wife's sex skills.
He said: 'She doesn’t even know who Kim Kardashian is. She doesn’t pay attention to that.
'She doesn’t care when I talk about our sex life because our sex life is amazing.'
Mariah and Nick, who have a 12 year age difference and married after just two months of dating, have spent most of 2014 living separately, according to numerous reports.
'Mariah has had several closed door meetings with divorce lawyers,' a source told In Touch Weekly.
'But Nick's being more passive. He's less inclined to pull the trigger, perhaps because of the kids. He'll definitely wait for Mariah to file for divorce, but he won't go down without a fight. He wants a chunk of her $500 million fortune.'
They added: 'Nick's sensible and realises that the twins would have a more stable existence if Mariah had full custody. But he wants generous visitation rights.'
Aside from their three-year-old fraternal twins Monroe and Moroccan, the feuding pair share four lavish homes in New York, Los Angeles, Aspen, and Windermere Island (in the Bahamas).
