Let’s jump around Nick Cannon and Chilli’s unofficial relationship timeline. In July 2016, E! Insider caught Cannon blushing in 4K as a reporter grilled him about his rumored romance with Chilli. “She’s amazing, she’s an outstanding person, but you have to ask her what’s going on,” Cannon said. Regarding their label, Cannon pouted and claimed he was “damaged goods,” presumably referring to his failed romance with Mariah Carey. Cannon also skirted the journalist’s inquiry about whether he’d been kissing Chilli and called her a friend.

That November, Cannon’s music video for his TLC-inspired song “If I Was Your Man” hit YouTube. The music video, which includes unrepeatable lyrics, saw Chilli as Cannon’s on-screen love interest. During several saucy shots, Cannon and Chilli gave off big couple energy as they kissed, danced, and posed in bed together. No wonder fans thought that they were together! Unfortunately, this visual proof of their comfortability with each other came after Cannon’s August 2016 comments about not being in a space for a relationship. “I would be so lucky to be able to be called ‘dating’ her,” said Cannon on “The Breakfast Club.” He added, “This is all new to me. I’m not ready for titles and all that stuff.”
