So Coy! 'Excited' Nick Cannon Hints That He's Dating TLC's Chilli

As Mariah Carey prepares to marry her billionaire fiancé James Packer, Nick Cannon is feeding speculation that he might be moving on as well.

Following reports that Nick and TLC's Chilli Thomas were spotted snuggling up together at a concert this week, Nick spoke out on his relationship with the 45-year-old beauty.

"She's an outstanding and amazing woman," Nick told Entertainment Tonight. "I've known her for so, so many years and, you know, we've been friends."

"We got the opportunity to spend, uh, time together but I wouldn't-… I would say ask her," Cannon added coyly. "Ask her what the situation is."

While he did not dish too many intimate details, he was clear about his feelings for her, saying that he is "excited when I get to see her."

Furthermore, the 35-year-old is grateful that women are able to look past his high-profile relationship history. "I'm fresh in this game when it comes to being single. I like to say I'm damaged goods… What woman would want me?"

"I would be so lucky to, uh, be able to claim to be dating somebody like Chilli," he admitted.
