Occasionally, when you believe hard enough (or when you get famous enough, at least), a lot of your dreams can come real.

Moreover, that’s what Nick Cannon showed gratitude for, as he recently spewed to ‘The Shade Room’ during an interview that he used to have posters of his Baby mama, Mariah Carey on his wall as a teen.

Not only that, but the “Wild ‘N Out” host also emitted about how special that particular relationship was to him. Of course, he went on to honour all the mothers of his children, but couldn’t help but gush about his first.

Also, he narrated the tale in quite a plain manner, and with the charisma and humour he’s known for. “Like the greatest?” Cannon answered a question about whether the crooner is still the love of his life. “I mean, I always talk about that, then it goes viral and our fans get mad at me. But I was 12 years old with Mariah Carey pictures on my wall and that becomes my wife. And the fact that she’s the coolest person I ever met.”

“I get a lot of this delightful disposition from her,” he continued. “She’s just always happy, always doing for others. No matter what’s happening in life. I’m like, ‘Wow, a person can operate like that and don’t allow negative energy into the space.’ When I found out about how remarkable she was, that woman is not human. She’s a gift from God.” However, he also made sure to spread that positivity and love forward to the rest of his baby mamas.

“I love them,” the 42-year-old responded when asked whether he sees a future with his entire family. “They’re amazing!” referring to his partners. Right after, the interviewer asks whether he wants to maintain a strong relationship with them. “Yeah, they’re the mothers of my children!” he remarked. “But that’s a disservice to the other ones. I’ll be over here! And if you wanna see me, I’ll be at the house. How could I be lonely, I got 12 kids!”
