Mariah Carey is finally getting over her divorce from Nick Cannon. After countless reports that had her close to a breakdown while Nick Cannon was the happiest he could have been, it now seems Mariah is getting over the heartbreak and pointing her attention to someone else in her life.

Page Six claims that Carey is turning to her friend director Brett Ratner in her divorce from Nick Cannon. The longtime friend is said to have been comforting the singer since the drama with Nick began, and his efforts have not gone unnoticed by the “Elusive Chanteuse.”

Mariah and Brett are spending a lot of time together, they confide in each other

An insider confirms that the two are constantly together and “speak frequently,” something which has been going on ever since Mariah kicked Cannon out of her home. However, for the time being, reports are hazy as to whether Ratner has actually moved in with Mariah.

Back in July, Brett and Mariah went together at the “Hercules” movie premiere, a movie that Ratner himself directed. So it's clear that the friendship goes both ways, it's not just Ratner providing support for Mariah, she supports him as well.

But their friendship goes further back in time, as Mariah was posting photos with Ratner in Aspen last December, hinting that they were close even back then.

Nick Cannon is slowly moving out of the picture, hasn't seen Mariah for a long time

Normally, this wouldn't be a big thing, but since Mariah's marriage is just about over, her friendship with Ratner is sparking all sorts of rumors and they all have a lot to do with the fact that the director might soon replace the musician who is on his way out.

Keep in mind that neither Mariah nor Nick has confirmed the divorce, leaving the media guessing as to how and why it's taking place. So far, there have been two theories, and in them, either of the partners is to blame for their marriage failing.

One theory is that Nick Cannon couldn't stay faithful to his wife who kept staying back home while he went touring the country with wild parties, and the other is that Mariah's drinking and moping around the house turned into a real problem and that this was causing them to put an end to their marriage.

At the beginning of September, Nick took to his Twitter account to tell everyone that he still loved Mariah and that he was mad people made it seem like he was badmouthing her. He concluded with a sullen hashtag “radiosilence.”
