Twins! Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon Welcome a Daughter and Son

By Christine Fenno Posted Apr 30th 2011 03:14PM

Mariah Carey delivered two babies, a son and daughter, in Los Angeles on Saturday -- the same day as her wedding anniversary to Nick Cannon.

The pop star, 42, gave birth shortly after noon, according to People.com.

Carey's rep confirmed that the couple's baby girl was first to arrive, weighing 5 lbs., 3 oz. (18 inches long), followed by their baby boy, weighing 5 lbs., 6 oz. (19 inches long).

The spokeswoman also said Carey's single 'We Belong Together' was the music playing after the twins arrived.

Cannon, 30, tweeted his joy:

The names of the newborn sister and brother have not yet been made public.

When he guest-hosted 'The Talk' earlier this week, Cannon told viewers how he felt knowing he'd be meeting his babies soon: "I'm not trying to be a psychic, but we renew our vows every year so...It's probably going to be in the hospital this year," he hinted. "I can feel it."

As an expectant mom, Carey has been dealing with double the anticipation, and has been frequently sharing her excitement with fans -- showing off a posh his & hers nursery, and posting twitpics of her baby bump painted like a butterfly and an Easter egg. The new parents also got in front of the camera together for a magazine shoot, ending up with memorable nude photos taken during Carey's voluptuous pregnancy.

Congratulations, Mariah and Nick, on the double delivery!

Congratulations Nick and Mariah, being a granny myself I know your Mom's are just tickled pink! May your life be continuously blessed, and Mariah, if you could hear my 8 year old grandson sing your Christmas song "All I Want for Christmas", he can hit all the notes, we love you both very much. Nothing can beat true love and it is so good to see it on both of you!

Shame on you ,if you have nothing good to say close your mind and get lost in the abyss of despair

Men often fall in love with women who remind them of their mothers. It's something you'd have to talk to a Freud about.

By New York

No she does not. She looks great. Congratulations & many blessings on the birth of your beautiful son & daughter. heidiandfrank you should be so blessed.

By Jane

I agree. If you didn't know them, you would think that right away "awww, Nick with his momma, how sweet".

HE'LL KEEP HER YOUNG - BOTH IN HEART AND SPIRIT.
AND HE CAN HELP HER CHASE THE BABIES AROUND AND KEEP THEM OUT OF TROUBLE.
THEY LOOK HAPPY TO ME AND IN THEIR WORLD, THAT IS SAYING A LOT.
IF SOMEONE LOVES YOU UNCONDITIONALLY, FORGET THE AGE AND GO FOR IT !!!
LIFE IS SHORT - DANCE EVERYTIME YOU HAVE THE CHANCE.
