The father of seven adds, “Clearly, there is a lot going on in my life now that’s completely different from that.”

The Masked Singer host does stand by his statement that their relationship was like a “fairy tale,” and recalls when he and Carey renewed their vows at Disneyland and dressed up as Cinderella and Prince Charming, along with their two kids.

“We shut Disneyland down. It was the kids’ second birthday,” Cannon shares. “…We were in the castle, it was amazing. Like I said, fairy-tale memories. There’s no way that I could ever have an experience like that ever again.”
