Jessica White continues to share her truth about her five-year relationship with Nick Cannon.

“I went through an emotionally abusive relationship and everyone is going through it,” the 39-year-old model shared Page six in an interview published on Tuesday, June 20. “I’m just the first person in Hollywood to talk about it and not try to make a pretty picture of it. I don’t want to be perfect.

White and Cannon, 42, dated from 2015 to 2020. A year after their split, she accused the Wild ‘N Out host of hiding the fact that he was expecting a second child with Brittany Bell while she and Cannon were on a break. Cannon and Bell, 35, announced their pregnancy via Instagram in June 2020, and share three children in total: Golden, 6, Powerful Queen, 2, and Rise, 8 months.

“[Bell] was aware that I had just had a miscarriage two weeks before her news came out because he told me he told her,” White explained during a January 2021 interview with Fox Soul’s Hollywood Unlocked with Jason Lee. “I lived at his house, and she knew that too.”

Earlier this month, White posted a lengthy Instagram post about the situation, claiming she didn’t always feel like she was “proud to have me as a partner.” She added: “[I] prayed every day that you would see me and love me as I loved you. … Maybe you did, but just kept it from me during the relationship.

White said Page six that she regrets posting the Instagram post as she should have saved her thoughts on this for her upcoming book. however, the Love and Hip-Hop: Atlanta star said a chapter on Cannon would be “very short”, noting, “I think if he put it in a book, it would be half a chapter. Half a chapter is still too long.”

Besides the fact that she has no intention of rekindling her romance with Cannon – who shares a total of 12 children with Bell, Mary Carey, Abby DeLaRosa, Alyssa Scott, LaNisha Cole And Bre Tiesi — White said she’s excited to find “the right guy” and have a baby one day.

“I’m putting myself out there,” the former Victoria’s Secret model shared. “Part of my healing process is not sitting back and waiting to be fully healed… no one ever really is. I can’t wait to make love and have a baby soon. Oh yeah, I’m all for it.”

White concluded that she is ready to put their past to rest. “I’m so tired of talking about Nick – I’m done,” she told the outlet. “I really want to get past this because I don’t want the next guy to come in and think he’s competing with that energy because he’s not. I’m over it. I just want to go out into the world and make people see me and ask me questions outside of him right now.

Cannon, for his part, praised his ex during a recent interview The Jason Lee Show. “That woman has overcome so much, and is just a light and an angel to so many, operating at a higher frequency,” says the Masked singer said host on the May 9 episode of the show.
