Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon's six year marriage is allegedly so beyond saving, their divorce is apparently a 'done deal'.
And apparently their problems stem back to the TV presenter's rather candid admission about his past sexual partners, most notably Kim Kardashian, back in March.
TMZ.com reported his wife was furious when Nick revealed a list of five celebrities he had slept with during a very candid interview with Power 106 radio.

'Mariah has had several closed door meetings with divorce lawyers': After six years of marriage, Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon are reportedly headed for divorce after living separately much of 2014
Mariah was left feeling 'humiliated' following the interview, which also featured him revealing when he first had sex with his wife.
The couple are reported to have separated back in May and have been secretly working out a property settlement and custody agreement over their twins with their lawyers, according to TMZ.com.
Sources close to the couple say their marriage started to unravel in March following Nick's interview, when he reflected on his short romance with Kim back in 2006.
He claimed he had too many ex-lovers to list them all, saying: 'Are you kidding me this is L.A.? That's the whole purpose of it, you have sex with actresses, singers, models.'

When told he could just name five, the star had his list ready: 'That's easy. OK, Mariah Carey, Christina Milian, Nicole Scherzinger, Selita Ebanks, oh, Kim Kardashian.'
He then elaborated about Kim, now married to rapper Kanye West, saying: 'You just forgot (about her) because there have been a lot of people since me.'
In an interview with another station a week later, he tried to backtrack over his comments and praised his wife's sex skills.
He said: 'She doesn’t even know who Kim Kardashian is. She doesn’t pay attention to that.
'She doesn’t care when I talk about our sex life because our sex life is amazing.'
Final family portrait? Aside from their three-year-old fraternal twins Monroe and Moroccan, the feuding pair (pictured in May) share four lavish homes in New York, Los Angeles, Aspen, and Windermere Island
Mariah and Nick, who have a 12 year age difference and married after just two months of dating, have spent most of 2014 living separately, according to numerous reports.
'Mariah has had several closed door meetings with divorce lawyers,' a source told In Touch Weekly.
'But Nick's being more passive. He's less inclined to pull the trigger, perhaps because of the kids. He'll definitely wait for Mariah to file for divorce, but he won't go down without a fight. He wants a chunk of her $500 million fortune.'
They added: 'Nick's sensible and realises that the twins would have a more stable existence if Mariah had full custody. But he wants generous visitation rights.'
Aside from their three-year-old fraternal twins Monroe and Moroccan, the feuding pair share four lavish homes in New York, Los Angeles, Aspen, and Windermere Island (in the Bahamas).

According to Page Six, the former American Idol judge was so suspicious of Nick's nightclub hosting gigs she hired a security guard.
'The security guard wasn't there to keep the girls away from him,' a source explained. 'It was to keep him away from the girls.'
And the Looking For A Dream rapper was reportedly also jealous that Carey was romancing hip-hop star Nas.
'Bottom line is they do not trust each other,' an insider told Life & Style.
