In a recent interview with Entertainment Tonight, Nick wouldn’t exactly confirm or deny the gossip, but he did confirm that he’s been spending time with the singer:
“She’s an outstanding and amazing woman,” Cannon said. “I’ve known her for so, so many years and, you know, we’ve been friends.”
Earlier this week, speculation that the two were dating began when there were supposedly seen getting cozy at WDKX’s Summerfest Concert in Rochester, New York.
“We got the opportunity to spend, uh, time together but I wouldn’t-… I would say ask her,” Cannon said, cautiously. “Ask her what the situation is.”
Cannon, 35, admitted that Thomas is “someone I do care dearly for,” and that he’s “excited when I get to see her,” but being in the dating world is still something new to Cannon.
Cannon’s seven-year marriage to Mariah Carey, with whom he shares 5-year-old twins Moroccan and Monroe, officially came to an end when their divorce was finalized in April 2015.
“I’m fresh in this game when it comes to being single. I like to say I’m damaged goods… What woman would want me?” Cannon said, laughing. “I would be so lucky to, uh, be able to claim to be dating somebody like Chilli.”
Sounds like they are seeing each other but it isn’t serious yet.
In other words they ain’t official yet.
Weird a-s pairing.
I thought Chilli was dating the cutie on that Tyler Perry show
He sure does have a thing for older women.
Nick need to keep it moving. Chilli is going to sleep with one of his artist or his producer behind his back. She’s done it before. Keep moving Nick.
Oh great. Nick is dating another one of his “childhood crushes.” Chilli should already know how this will play out.
I think the best Chilli has done after Usher was the fine man who used to be on CNN. I still wonder why they didn’t work out.
