Mariah Carey and Bryan Tanaka may be joined at the hip, but Nick Cannon isn't buying it.

During a radio interview on The Howard Stern Show on Wednesday, the America's Got Talent host opened up about his ex-wife's new relationship with her back-up dancer -- and said it's all for the cameras.

"That sh*t is hilarious," Cannon said before conceding he's OK with the romance "as long as she's happy."

"First of all, I think the whole reality show is fake. I'm a producer, so you can't have a well-lit private conversation. Like, that sh*t doesn't happen," he explained. "I don't buy none of that sh*t."

Viewers of Mariah's World saw Carey's romance with Tanaka flourish after the singer's engagement to billionaire James Packer crumbled.

Despite his earlier comments, Cannon insisted he doesn't have a problem with reality TV -- even saying that he trusts Carey's decision to put their 5-year-old twins, Moroccan and Monroe on camera -- his issue is with the pop diva's "soap opera"-like relationship.

"That type of stuff doesn't bother me, because we're in it, that's the type of world that we're in, but when you start trying to pull a fast one on people, that sh*t is silly," he shared.

"They like, wrote the story!" he continued. "That sh*t is like a soap opera, like, 'The billionaire doesn't know, and here's the handsome young dancer.'"

Though Cannon pokes fun at Carey's relationship, Cannon says he still "loves" his ex-wife.

"She gave me two amazing, beautiful gifts. We talk every day," he confessed. "I love Mariah. I'll never stop loving her."
