[dropcap]N[/dropcap]ick Cannon, who recently split with wife Mariah Carey, and Nicole Murphy, whose engagement to Michael Strahan fizzled, raised eyebrows Monday at Meatpacking District eatery Bagatelle. We’re told the rebounding pair arrived with two other pals and were seated at a secluded table. “They were laughing and having a great time,” said an onlooker. “Nick and Nicole and their friends were dressed to the nines.”
Our source said the “America’s Got Talent” host and the former model “didn’t look as though they were on a date,” but “they were definitely enjoying their dinner.”
Cannon filed for divorce from Carey in December after living separately for several months, while Los Angeles-based VH1 star Murphy ended her five-year engagement to Strahan after their long-distance relationship petered out. (There were rumors of romance between Cannon and Amber Rose, but she has said he’s just her manager.)
Cannon will be playing in the Celebrity All-Star Game on Friday with Kevin Hart, Ansel Elgort, Anthony Anderson, Common, Skylar Diggins and Michael Rapaport.
