“She’s amazing,” Cannon said about the singer. “She’s an outstanding person but you gotta ask her what’s going on.”

“I’m new to this! How does this whole thing work?” he said, joking, “Right now I’m damaged goods, I need to be repaired.”

When Culiner cited a “relationship” between him and Chilli, Cannon said, “Ooh, you used the ‘R word already?”

“That is definitely my friend, someone I care dearly for,” he said. “I’d be so lucky to be able to…be called dating someone like that.”
