Nick Cannon and his superstar wife, Mariah Carey, have kept coy about the details of their pregnancy from the start. The couple has disclosed that they don't yet know the sex of their baby. Now, the 'Drumline' star has officially told the world the good news: Mimi is pregnant with twins.
Today Cannon went on his morning radio show and announced that the couple is expecting multiples. People.com is reporting that his Grammy Award-winning wife told the good news to President Barack Obama.
The news comes just one day after Canon attended a Toys for Tots Foundation benefit at a Build-a-Bear Workshop and hinted the good news by saying he's thankful for "the new additions to his family."
He also used the plural of babies when referring to his firstborn. The comedian-rapper-radio personality told E! News, "My wife, at one time, referred to her stomach as 'they' and that probably wasn't the wrong thing for her to do. That's all I'm going to say."
This isn't the first time that the rumor mill has buzzed that the couple was expecting twins. The best-selling singer initially referred to her baby bump as "they."
Cannon previously refuted the rumors to Us Weekly awhile back, saying, "That rumor started because she said something about 'they'...something like, 'I hope they don't hate Christmas,' but she was using the world 'they' as in 'he' and 'she.'"
During an appearance on the 'Today' show, Carey said she is due this spring.
