" The entertainment world is buzzing right now with speculation that Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon are heading for divorce. Cannon, the host of the popular show &amp;quot;America&amp;#039;s Got Talent&amp;quot; confirmed yesterday in an interview with The Insider that the couple has been living apart for months. He and popstar Mariah (who is eleven years his senior) had a whirlwind, 6-week courtship before marrying in 2008 and have been parents since 2011, when they welcomed their twins, Morroccan and Monroe. Their split comes as a surprise to a lot of people, particularly since the couple is known for their lavish yearly vow renewal ceremonies held in places like The Maldives, Paris (at the top of the Eiffel Tower!), Disneyland, and 2011 they had to move the renewal to the hospital, since Mariah gave birth on their anniversary. Things seemed good as recently as Father&amp;#039;s Day, when Mariah posted a family photo to her Instagram account, but according to sources, the two have been living apart since May.  Of course, rumors are swirling that this might be contentious divorce (and doesn&amp;#039;t the media just love a contentious Hollywood divorce?) but I&amp;#039;m hoping for their kids&amp;#039; sake that it really is just a rumor. Splitting apart a family is hard enough. Doing it in the limelight has got to be unbearable. At any rate, I wish them both well and I hope they keep it civil, and put their children&amp;#039;s needs first. Are you surprised to hear about their split?
