Silenced: Nick Cannon confirms that his marriage to Mariah Carey as hit the rocks. Surprise, surprise…he cant talk about it.

Following reports that the couple's six-year marriage had hit a rocky patch, Nick Cannon, 33, confirmed in an interview that there was trouble in paradise. But according to TMZ, the pair's lawyers struck up a confidentiality agreement, which bars him from sharing details of their divorce - or face 'severe financial penalties'.

All that "I cant leave without you", aint true at all Nick

Sources tell the website that while America's Got Talent host Nick has been muzzled, his estranged wife has retained rights to announce the split on their own terms.

And, as was seen in his recent interview with US TV show The Insider, Nick towed the line, only confirming that they were living separately, as he refused to discuss other details.

I wonder why people marry knowing that it will end this way, eventually.
