The former couple - who have three-year-old twins, Monroe and Moroccan, together - split up last year after six years of marriage but the 34-year-old star isn't ready to call time on the pair's relationship for good just yet.
He said: "It's one of those things, I'm a hopeless romantic too. Through this learning process, you never say never.
"To me one thing I know, that will always be the love of my life, always be my family and that's never going to change."

Nick also admitted he is fed up of people "perpetuating negativity" and has insisted there is no bad feelings between the pair.
Speaking on The Meredith Vieira Show, he said: "It's extremely disappointing when you see that people just want to perpetuate negativity when there is no negativity even involved.

"You kind of get to that place where, I've always been the most open and honest person but I understand kind of playing it close to the chest because when you start to feed into it and there are so many false items and people just want to speculate then you don't want to say anything at all.
"That's one thing I actually admire Mariah because she is professional. You ain't going to get nothing out of her. I was like you know what, I'm learning. I'm learning."

Meanwhile, the star previously admitted his close friendship with Ariana meant they were able to talk about anything.
He said: "It was cool to have a girl that I could talk to about my problems. I did that with her. It's not some fake-a**, inauthentic s**t when I say we were friends. This is something special and I appreciate every moment of it."

The 'Heart Wants What It Wants' hitmaker has reportedly split from Zedd after a couple of months of dating and her friends are now concerned she will resume her relationship with the 'Baby' hitmaker.
A source said: "Selena's friends still wonder why she's so caught up in what Justin is doing. They worry that she's falling back into her old bad habit of obsessing over what Justin is doing and saying. It's like she's still invested in the relationship even though it ended months ago.

"Selena checks out everything about the girls Justin's been with. She's like a detective. She tries not to look, but she just can't help herself. It's not healthy and she knows that, but it's something she still does."
Meanwhile, Selena has been seen enjoying a holiday in Mexico with friends following her split from the 25-year-old DJ and has sparked rumours she is romancing music producer Hit-Boy after the pair were seen together.

"He's not involved with her personal life like that and doesn't want to be."
