Nick Cannon is handling his ex-wife Mariah Carey’s recent engagement to billionaire businessman James Packer with nothing but class. Cannon and Carey were married for six years until their split in 2014, with two children -- twins Moroccan and Monroe.

Carey and Packer were officially engaged as of last week and according to Vogue, Carey said “yes” to a 35-carat pure diamond and platinum engagement ring. The magazine also explains that it is one of the biggest diamond engagement rings on record, topping Kim Kardashian’s, Beyonce’s and Elizabeth Taylor’s.

In an interview with Vogue, designer and friend of Carey’s Wilfredo Rosado said, “I took the standards super high and I wanted to create a ring that could not be measured up to.”

Once he heard the news, Cannon posted an Instagram photo of Kevin Hart, who appears on BET’s Real Husbands of Hollywood show, next to him in a hospital bed with the caption, “It’s just a ring Nick…” and expressed that it made him laugh out loud.

According to Billboard, Cannon said that he would “never say anything negative about” Carey when the two split in 2014, further stating that, “We are forever a family rooted in love.”

In other Cannon news, he posted a photo titled “The Legendary Equation” back in October that said Chris Brown was the product of Michael Jackson and Tupac Shakur. He cited that the controversial R&B singer is “a true legend amongst legends,” connecting Brown’s experience and criticism in the spotlight.

“A lot of times we don’t realize or acknowledge our treasures while we still have them with us,” Cannon wrote on Instagram. “Think about how much everyone attacked MJ and 2Pac while they were alive… I don’t think I have ever witnessed someone more gifted, who has overcome so much and still growing and learning daily.”
