Carey and Cannon separated two years ago, sharing six-year-olds Moroccan and Monroe together. In the wake of her split from Tanaka, it appears as though Carey is seeking comfort in family, incorporating Cannon into many of the family’s activities.

When speaking with PEOPLE, one source said, “Mariah and Nick are getting along great.” The source also said Carey is “great” around Nick, who seems to be available at the singer’s beck and call.

The source added, “There seems to be hope that they will get back together permanently.”

However, a different source had a different interpretation of their relationship, revealing, “Honestly, they are co-parenting.”

Cannon himself recently weighed in on the extent of their relationship when speaking with Entertainment Tonight.

“We’re together when it counts. We’re together for the kids. And I think that’s the most important thing,” Cannon confessed. “We both love kids and we’re co-parenting because that’s the only way to do it.”

The former America’s Got Talent host also mentioned that Carey is still his dream girl, even though friendship seems to be what works best for the two at the moment.

Cannon gushed, “It’s so perfect right now honestly. I’m working on being the best me that I can possibly be and from that, I’m working on being the best father that I can be and that’s a plate full right there. I love her, I adore her, that’s always going to be my dream girl but I think as mature adults, I think we just operate better with the way things are right now.”

The 36-year-old continued to emphasize that, ahead of any romantic relationship, their children are still the top priority.

“I mean, friends at the end of the day and beyond friends, we’re family, you know what I mean?” clarified Cannon. “We put the kids first and I think as weird as it may look from the outside it’s a very simple concept. I’m there when my kids need me, and I’m trying to be there as much as possible.”
