According to Access Hollywood, Mariah said that they never really dated because they keep the whole relationship really quiet. Also Nick Cannon proposed to her twice, one on the roof top of Manhattan and then other in a helicopter ride. She said, “He sort of kidnapped me and took me on a helicopter ride. Then he re-proposed.” However it has been a few months since the marriage and they are still hanging in there. I doubted this at first but it turns out they may last awhile. The children have a big issue in this relationship but Mariah sound very confident with Nick being their father. She says, “I couldn’t image anybody that I’ve ever met being a better dad.” Nick even has a tattoo of her name all the way across his back. That sound like love to me so I wouldn’t underestimate this relationship.
