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!

I believe that this couple as well as JLo other celebs had IVF to inentionally have twins and these two probably had MC induced on their anniversary. JMO

CONGRATS TO MARIAH AND NICK

By Dorthy

Congratulation to Nick and Mariah. I am so happy for you. Hope both of your babies are healthy. God Bless you all.

YOU are vomit material. What's the matter too much for you???

Congratulations to Nick and Mariah! I hope you will be one of very few celeb marriages to last and raise your children in a home full of love and peace and much happiness...it takes work..no one ever told me it was easy and it's not. Just don't make divorce an option!

As for the wedding dress of the new Dutchess of Cambria...she looked stunning and radiant...you could see the joy on both of their faces! Best of luck to all of these ppl!!

Such a happy, happy day! I'm glad all went well with the births! What "tarnishes" this incredible event though, is that Mariah wants the public to think this was a spontaneous onset of labor, etc., when the truth is, is that she had a set date for an arranged c-section to eliminate the possibility of her going into labor/giving birth naturally on the day of Prince William's wedding, etc. A very, very well oiled machine it was, BUT, what the focus should be on is that all went well...there's no more powerful a love, than between parent & child/ren.

By Blonde Ambition

Heck, I had a feeling it was going to be a c-section. Not only because of her age, but also because she seems quite the pampered type. I'm just happy the birth went well. If she really wanted all the attention to go to the royal wedding, then good on Mariah.

By Betty10457

If she wanted to avoid having her babies on the day of Will's and Kate's wedding, she would have planed a C-Secton on Thursday. We've know for months that the wedding was for 4/29/11.

*Mariah's need to always remain the center of attention media-wise, concerns me.

*Mariah's obsessive need to be the center of attention media-wise greatly concerns me.

By squirdlockeanmenendozavich

yeah , that is a world concern I would imagine

By Melody

I'm sure these two babies were handed over to nannies right in the delivery room, and have been in their care ever since. It's the celebrity way to do things... pop 'em out for the publicity, then pay people to raise them.
