Nick Cannon covers the newest issue of "BLEU" where he's named "MAN OF THE YEAR." S


Here are the highlights......
On romance and Mariah Carey
"Mariah and I are both hopeless romantics. We just made a pact to say that we want to be in this because we enjoy each other and we love each other...We want to be successful at being in a relationship; we want to have a good time."
On relationships
"A relationship shouldn't seem like something you have to work at; it is not a task. We always wanted a fairy tale relationship...and the drama that normally comes with it, we [can] do without."
On fatherhood
"I was built for fatherhood. I grew up in a family with a lot of kids...Ihave taken care of kids my whole life. As soon as my children were born, they became first and everything else became secondary."
On being a sex symbol
"[Being labeled a sex symbol] comes with the territory when being a solid husband and good father. Women find that kind of stuff appealing and sexy. Growing up, I was always the smallest kid in the school...I was the skinny and lanky dude...So I embrace [being labeled a sex symbol] now."
