Well, the associated press seems to confirm it.


Reports: Mariah Carey marries actor Nick Cannon

By NEKESA MUMBI MOODY – 2 hours ago

NEW YORK (AP) — Nick Cannon is cast as Mariah Carey's lover in her new video — but has the superstar diva given the young actor a considerably bigger role in real life? According to several published reports, Carey, 38, married Cannon, 27, on Wednesday. Neither Carey's publicist nor Cannon's manager returned requests from The Associated Press for comment.

If the pair did indeed wed, it would be a whirlwind romance. Word that the two were seeing each other first surfaced in the last few weeks. Last Saturday, Carey was seen sporting a huge diamond ring on her finger at the Tribeca Film Festival premiere of her movie, "Tennessee," in which she plays a waitress. Cannon was at her side at the party. Speculation swirled that the couple were engaged.

Latina.com was first to report that the two got married, at Carey's home in the Bahamas. Friday's New York Post also has the pair wed and E! Online quoted a relative of Cannon's as saying that he called his family and confirmed the news.

"He called us and told us all about it. We are happy for him. If that is what he wants then we are happy for him," Linda Cannon, identified simply as a family member, was quoted telling E!

Cannon has put out a rap album, but is best known for his role in the movie "Drumline" and a Nickelodeon TV series (yes, Nickelodeon — Cannon is 11 years Carey's junior). He's featured in Carey's upcoming video for "Bye Bye."

While Carey and Cannon (or is it the Cannons?) were playing coy, the famed jeweler Jacob & Co. was quick to publicize its apparent role in the reputed union with a press release touting the ring Cannon reportedly gave her.

The release described it as "crafted from platinum and features a square emerald cut fancy light pink diamond as the center stone surrounded by 58 intense pink diamonds and two half moon diamonds on each side.

"The total carat weight of the ring — center stone is 10 carats — is a jaw-dropping 17 carats with a value of $2.5 million."

Cannon does have experience with engagement rings. The actor, who has previously romanced singer Christina Milian and voluptuous reality star Kim Kardashian, last year gave a 15-carat stone to Victoria's Secret model Selita Ebanks as he proposed in grand fashion — on the Jumbotron in New York's Times Square. Cameras were flashing as she said yes. They split just a few months later.

The Carey-Cannon match is already getting considerably more ink, leaving some to wonder whether it's a publicity stunt: After all, she's just released a No. 1 album ("EMC2" is on the top of the charts), and he has at least four movies due out this year.

But then again, Carey is one of the most successful artists in music, and hardly needs a marriage to get her attention: She's already scored a No. 1 hit off the album with "Touch My Body."

This would be Cannon's first marriage but Carey's second. She famously wed top music executive Tommy Mottola in an extravagant wedding in 1993. They had a bitter divorce in 1998.

that's what i'm saying. I like MC and all but sometimes she thinks she still in her 20s, trying to marry someone is like 11-12 yrs older than her.
Re: Mariah Carey Weds Nick Cannon In Bahamas by Nobody: 7:32pm On May 02, 2008
I don't care about age difference but Mariah Carey can do better than Nick Cannon.

You are kidding she didn't sign the prenup, was she high or what

I know right. they ain't no jay-z and beyonce to be "overlooking" a prenup. not that i wish them bad or anything but i can see that marriage going downhill.

nothing wrong with that, but Mariah Carey could have and should have done better than that. she needs someone like her, not no kid comedian.

She probably looked around and didnt find anyone her age. Who do you suggest she goes for?
Re: Mariah Carey Weds Nick Cannon In Bahamas by motunrayo4(f): 7:47pm On May 02, 2008
This is sad and embarrasing for Maraih, how she gong to be taken seriously with a husband like Nick Cannon,
Mariah lost some respect from me because I expected more and better from her.
Re: Mariah Carey Weds Nick Cannon In Bahamas by sheniqua: 7:48pm On May 02, 2008
The boy is 27 ,she's 38.
He's not particularly a spring chicken
38 year old men marry 22 year old girls all the time,why can't a woman marry her lover who is 11 years yonger?

i'm sure there's someone out there for her. you know how many guys love Mariah Carey? A lot. If she maried someone like 5 yrs younger, then no problem. well that's her. she do what she want to do but it's still wierd to me.
Re: Mariah Carey Weds Nick Cannon In Bahamas by sheniqua: 7:50pm On May 02, 2008
There's nothing a 38 yearl old woman knows that a 27 year old man doesn't know.
Women live longer than men.
women outlive their husbands by more than a decade in most instances.
She actually did the right thing.
Good planning Mariah!
Re: Mariah Carey Weds Nick Cannon In Bahamas by LadyT(f): 7:51pm On May 02, 2008
If Mariah married anyone like her they would be a monster!  Thats if we go by the gossip in the papers


Shes one hell of a woman.  I have met her and she is stunning.  The only thing is she has said she does not want children.  I hope he feels the same.

Really, but since when did we become judges of who can marry who? I dont understand how you think your "loss of respect" for someone who has never met you makes any difference to her marriage.

Allow her some breathing space pls. She's 38, she deserves some love even if its from someone you dont approve of.

cuz girls act more mature so to find someone who matches your maturity, you go with someone older, on the older hand some guys (not all) still act like they are in high school and i'm talking 30 and 40 year olds.

These celebrities are usually immature.
Have you seen Mariah doing interviews?
With those little girly movements,facial expressions and smiles, she is not mentally 38,I put her at about 19
How about her trashy teenage dressing?

(Can't you see Brittany Spears,mentally she's about 16.)
So Mariah really did marry her senior mentally speaking.
