Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon aren't just dreamlovers anymore.

Family member Linda Cannon has confirmed to E! News that the couple are, in fact, married.

"Yes, we know," she tells E! "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 wouldn't confirm an earlier report that had the impromptu nuptials taking place yesterday at Carey's new home in the Bahamas, only that Nick and his platinum-selling girlfriend have made it official.

I’m not going to give you any details, but we are happy for him."

Earlier today, a rep for jeweler Jacob & Co. confirmed that Cannon shelled out $2.5 million for the 17-carat finger candy spotted recently on Carey's left hand.

This is the second trip down the aisle for Carey, 39. She split from recording industry honcho Tommy Mottola in 1998 after five years of marriage.

Cannon, 27, was previously engaged to model Selita Ebanks, but this is his first time taking the plunge.

Hmmmm... That's interesting. In the Mariah thread we talked about a few days ago, she didn't sound at all like she was interested in marriage.

It seems like everytime she reaches a career milestone she does something wacky. I love her though.

the age thing is another issue; likewise nick is the same age as me, but if those two love each other, then who am i to argue? however, i hope it doesn't turn into a farce, just like with gary coleman's marriage

Same here. My boyfriend was watching it and I was just rolling my eyes thinking it was just another dumb movie. Lo and behold I hear this great music coming from the living room and it was the roller skating contest scene that had just started. :dance: :banana:

Nick Cannon can't seem to make up his mind. One minute he's engaged, and the next minute, the relationship's over. Now, him and Mariah Carey is so called getting married?! That's an odd couple, she's been around the block, and he is young and twisted. Nick for one doesn't need all these high profile relationships. Mariah on the other hand, doesn't need him, but who am I to judge?

I read and heard they only knew each other for less than two months? :eek::faint:


I also now know what role he played on ROLL BOUNCE...:eek: OMG, it is that guy who was the roller king who was battling with Bow Wow. OMG he looked like a pimp too. :lol:



Here is an article from people.com:

Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon's recent wedding not only surprised fans, but their friends and close associates, too.

"I'm shell shocked," a source in Carey's camp tells PEOPLE. "As far as I know, they are happy together."

Music mogul Russell Simmons said he didn't know about the nuptials ahead of time, but sees why the pairing works. "Whatever makes them happy," he said Friday. "They have a lot in common and should have a lot of fun together."

Even Cannon's family was surprised by the move. "It's crazy right! We're definitely happy. Well wishes!" Cannon's brother, Gabriel, tells PEOPLE. "I'm trying to be like him and I love him very much."

Another insider says the newlyweds didn't know each other before Carey's video shoot for her song "Bye, Bye" in the Caribbean on March 26. "Nick was cast as the romantic lead and was flown to Antigua where they met so basically their [romance] started during the shoot," the insider says, adding, "She's very into religion and Nick is very into religion. That's something they bonded on."

Whatever their connection, Jacob Arabo, who created the diamond sparkler that the actor gave the singer as an engagement ring, tells PEOPLE that his friend is in love with Carey.

Still, others seem more dubious of the whirlwind romance.

"This is what Nick does; Nick is such a sucker for love," said a source close to Cannon. "He falls in love so quick."

Adds another Cannon insider: "We all thought it was a joke, but he's been impulsive before. He's a mini mogul but still young and maybe this was a crush that went too far.

"Well see. He takes awhile to come down from the cloud."

A few bios have her birthday as March 27, 1969, but some others have her B day March 27, 1970.

She probably is 39 but may lie abt her age to keep her image "young." Shame. I am 43 and proud of my age.

She's 38.

Anyway, now that this has officially been confirmed, I have to say I think she's a bit nuts for doing it. :lol: But oh well, I still hope it works out for her in the end.

I am merely surprised because she seemed so worried abt marrying again. After what she went through with Tommy, she seemed she was going to make damn sure she didn't make a bad decision again. I don't know how true it is, but it is said she and Nick only knew each other a few months. I can easily understand falling in love in a few months, but getting married? :eek: I hope for her sake she made the right decision.

Nick Cannon is cute and all but I can't imagine they have much in common. Or maybe they do...she likes to believe she's "eternally 16" or whatever lol.

Don't you just get the feeling that one day she will be leaving everything to her dog?

It's definitely one of the stops on her train to Kookville.

1] The perfume has been out since last summer. The "new" perfume is simply a different version of M. There isn't going to be a huge re-launch or even a publicity campaign for it.

2] The album came out a week before her weeding. It sold considerably well without the help of any gossip press.

Nick Cannon's character in Roll Bounce wasn't the one battling Little Bow Wow. That was another guy. I can't think of his name but he was in Crossover movie with Anthony Mackie and Wayne Brady. Nick's character in Roll Bounce worked at the skating rink. Nick also played in Love Don't Cost A Thing with Christina Milian and Steve Harvey. He used to date Christina and they broke up because she said he cheated on her with other women. What a fool because Christina is hot to me. I can't believe Nick and Mariah got married too. I don't think the marriage is gonna last long because of the age difference but he's a lucky dude because he gets to have sex with her hahahahahahahahahahahaha. She's a hot woman.
