We'll always be family: Nick Cannon on Mariah Carey

Los Angeles, Dec 10 

Actor Nick Cannon says he will "always be family" with his estranged wife and singer Mariah Carey.

Carey and Cannon are proud parents of their four-year-old twins Moroccan and Monroe and said that their children know that they "still love each other," reports femalefirst.co.uk. 

"It's all about unconditional love. And knowing because they were so young, this is what they know: They know mommy and daddy still love each other, but more importantly they love us. It's family. We'll always be family," Cannon said on "The Ellen DeGeneres Show". 

The 35-year-old actor also said that he'd love to meet Carey's current beau, billionaire James Packer.

"I think that would be cool," he said.
