A source previously said the duo, who got married in 2008, have already agreed that Mariah will be the one to officially announce their divorce, as she is "done taking a passive role" in their split.
The friend added: "She told him there would be one announcement about the divorce and it was going to come from her team.

"Nick said he was fine with this too. He knows he really upset her by speaking out of turn last week and has apologised for it."
