It comes after Nick spoke out about his previous marriage to Mariah Carey, admitting he doesn’t believe he will find a love like it again. 

He revealed on The Hottee Talk Show podcast: ‘I will never have a love like I had with Mariah. It was literally like a fairy tale with Mariah so I would rather it just be that way.

Nick also revealed in May that he doesn’t think he is ‘built’ for marriage, adding: ‘That [marriage to Mariah], to me, was one of the greatest experiences of my life, and for that to have come to an end… why would I go back, if I couldn’t make that work out right?

‘Once I gave my all to a scenario going forward, I’d have to be presented with something I’d never seen before, never experienced, in order for me to be willing to go back to do something like that.

‘Because I did my best in this space, and now there’s a new journey in my life that’s different. I’m not going to backtrack and put myself in that position again, because it doesn’t get any better than that.

‘I love my family, all of my children, and every woman that has given me the blessing of being able to experience that.

‘But marriage, and all that goes into that, is so … it’s a lot. You’re literally entering a partnership where two become one. I’m not built for that.’
