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!

In response to all the people who stated that Mariah looks like Nick Cannon's mom .... Ummm... Nick Cannon is black. Mariah Carey is white. She could not possibly be his mother. Their twins are of course mulatto, which is a mixture of black and white skin. Often these children have problems growing up because they are thrust into a society that can't define them as black or white. This is why mixed-race couples should never have children. By the way, Mariah Carey is my favorite singer of all-time. Personally, I have no problem with a bi-racial couple and mulatto children. I hope they have a happy life together.

Mariah Carey is mixed with Black also.

By clifton davis

This is a beautiful couple that is in love with each other. I wish them much happiness in their life together and pray that they are as successful rearing their children as they have both been in the field of entertainment. They both look great and I am certain their children are beautiful. God's blessings on their family.

Congrats to Nick and Mariah, on the birth of their twins! Just like Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony, they now have a boy and a girl, and nobody could ask for anything better than that! Also, what are the chances that their baby would be born on their wedding anniversary? I gave birth almost 21 years ago to a son, on my birthday! I thought that was amazing.... I'm so happy for Mariah, b/c it took her forever and a day to get pregnant!!!

I wonder what color the kids were? Interacial marriage is wrong.

By BN

They are not an interracial couple - Mariah Carey is part Black!

Congatulations, you make a beautiful family. I always thought
Mariah was fascinating. May God bless you and shine upon you.
And may the babies be surrounded by all the cheriub angels.

By will

Who gives a crap. They will be divorced in 3 years and the kids will be spoiled brats like their mother.

Dear Jake,,,You said..."interacial marriage is wrong". Get out of the cave you live in and put down your caveman club. I can't believe stupid people still exist in this day and age.

By Sheila

How sad that people can't just say congrats and best wishes but have to be so negative. I think what Nick Cannon said is awesome about not being able to top the anniversary gift. I wish them all the happiness in the world.
