LOS ANGELES — Nick and Mariah go together like babies and pacifiers –literally! OK, enough of the shameless “ODB” tag, but Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon are now the proud parents to a baby girl and boy, Carey’s representative Cindi Berger told People Magazine.
MiMi gave birth Saturday at 12:07 p.m. EDT at a Los Angeles hospital.
Berger confirmed the baby girl was born first, weighing 5 pounds, 3 ounces, and was 18 inches long; her brother was next, at 5 pounds 6 ounces, and was 19 inches.
And talk about arriving in style! Cannon drove Carey to the hospital in their Rolls-Royce Phantom. Berger said the 41-year-old Carey was calm, thinking that it was yet another false alarm.
Meanwhile, the 30-year-old Cannon was so nervous he went to the wrong department at the hospital, and was guided to the maternity ward by a nurse.
“It was like right out of an ‘I Love Lucy’ skit,” said Berger.
Berger also told People the couple listened to Carey’s “We Belong Together” after the births.
Even more exciting is the babies were actually born on the couple’s third anniversary!
Cannon tweeted this afternoon, “My wife just gave me the most incredible anniversary gift ever in life! I won’t ever be able to top this!”
The couple, who got married in 2008 after a whirlwind romance, is expected to renew their wedding vows on Sunday. They were the subject of endless baby rumors, and the couple actually was expecting shortly after their marriage, but Carey suffered a miscarriage. They kept the miscarriage private until she announced her pregnancy last fall.
The couple said they plan to live a bi-coastal life, and have luxurious nurseries in both New York and Los Angeles.
On the matter of having more children, Carey recently declared she’s done. But hey, after getting a boy and girl in one whop, we think that’s quite alright.
The children’s names have not yet been released.
