One; she is very insecure; Reports suggests the star's paranoia along with differences
over child rearing and spending contributed towards the split. According
to Us Weekly, the marriage has
been on the rocks for a while, with Mariah's demanding behaviour beginning to
wear thin. 'She always suspected when he was working that he was somehow out
there cheating and she'd be home alone calling Nick 100 times a day,' a source
told Us. 'It got to be too much. And he was always faithful.'
Two: Jealousy, and Mariah had this
attitude aplenty.
Mariah was still apparently jealous of Nick's previous relationship with
Kim Kardashian and was 'furious and humiliated' when the reality star was
among the names he listed when quizzed about famous women he'd slept with in a
radio interview with Howard Stern earlier this year . 'Mariah hates Kim because
Nick really cared about her,' a Kardashian family source told the
publication. Nick tried to backtrack a week later by claiming on another
radio show his wife "doesn't even know who Kim Kardashian is." But
the damage was already done.
Three: Nick talks too much for his age. 'He was too open about their marriage for her taste,' a
source revealed to Us. 'She's private, and some of the things he revealed in
interviews disgusted her.
Four: Wants to be Boss when it comes to
the kids and how the house is run
Insiders suggest they also
differed on how to raise their three-year-old twins Moroccan and Monroe. 'Mariah
loves those kids but she lets them do whatever they want,' the source told Us.
'Nick would be like "Why are you letting them stay up late and eat
cookies?" and Mariah would just snap at him not to tell her how to be with
her kids. So then he always had to be the bad guy.' The couple have an
ever-increasing roster of nannies, with Mariah admitting earlier this year -
while snapping her fingers - that she fires nannies 'like this.'
She continued, 'I hate doing it but I have to, because they try to make
themselves more important in the babies' minds than me,' she told Power
105.1's The Breakfast Club.' It was also revealed that she wants to have more
say on the careers the kids choose. Mariah, it is suggested, is eager for her
children to become musical stars while Nick wants them to enjoy a normal
childhood.

Five: How come Nick is having all the
spotlight and fun
To refresh her fans, Mariah released another studio album expecting to
top the charts, but her bubbles burst when the album recorded her lowest record
sales in 20 years. Her once-glittering career is dwindling, while Cannon's
has gone from strength to strength. Along with hosting America's Got Talent, he
has several successful business interests including his own company
Ncredible entertainment, making him worth close to $70 million. 'He's in a
different stage of his life and his priorities has changed,' an insider told
Us. 'He's on his way up and she's on her way down.'
But old lavish habits die hard, and Mariah has been 'overspending
and draining her fortune.'
Six: She wants to get it all and Nick
says, that is too much!
The insider told Us: 'A big strain on the marriage has been that he
feels he needs to work as much as possible because she's such a money drain.
Her glam squad drive him nuts. Mariah travels with six people just to take care
of her beauty needs.'
With a tour for her new album coming up, Mariah's way of coping is
to pretend the split isn't happening and throw herself into preparations. 'She
is tuning out the bad stuff, and like with everything, she is in her own
world,' the insider told Us.
Mariah is said to be consulting divorce lawyers, while Nick is keen to
reach a shared custody agreement for the twins. Mariah and Nick, who have a
10-year age difference and married after just two months of dating, have spent
most of 2014 living separately, according to numerous reports.
