While it appears that Mariah Carey‘s marital split from Nick Cannon is all but settled, they’re still reportedly at loggerheads over custody of their eight dogs.

As well as their three-year-old twins – son Moroccan and daughter Monroe – the couple also shared their palatial New York City home with a large brood of four-legged friends.

According to the Sunday Express, while potential for a fight over their estimated £325 million fortune has been removed via a prenuptial agreement, the battle over their pooches rages on

Mariah, 45, and Nick, who turned 34 on October 8, married on her private island in the Bahamas on April 8, 2008, after just six weeks of dating, but separated in August.

America’s Got Talent host Nick recently told US TV show Extra of the split: ‘I’m just taking everything one day at a time and just being the best person that I can possibly be at the end of the day.’

He also revealed that he was still undergoing a procedure to remove the tattoo he had dedicated to the superstar. “It’s not finished yet”, he said. “It wasn’t supposed to be revealed yet. I had just gotten it done, it was painful. It hurt a lot and I’m still not finished, I’m still probably like six more sessions away.”

While Mariah has been on a tour of Asia, Nick has been keeping himself busy Stateside, where he has numerous commitments, including an upcoming role on hit comedy Brooklyn Nine-Nine.
