Sources tell the Post that Carey who has been “living apart” from Cannon for months, has been seeking advice from her good friend Ratner and "the two speak frequently".
Longtime friends, Ratner directed a number of Carey’s music videos from her earlier albums, including “Heartbreaker” and “We Belong Together,” and have been close friends since.
Carey posted photos of Ratner on holiday in Aspen with her in December, and in July, Carey went with Ratner to the premiere of “Hercules,” which he directed.

A rep for Carey, who is launching The Elusive Chanteuse Show in Japan on Oct. 4, told the Post that the singer is currently “rehearsing for her Asian tour.” Ratner’s rep did not return calls to the Post, the paper reports.
Earlier this month, Cannon took to Twitter to say he will always love Mariah. In a series of 19 tweets, the America's Got Talent host ranted about false rumours whilst defending his family and his love for his estranged wife.
