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!

Wow...so many haters. For the record I had the pleasure in meeting Nick Cannon and he is one of the most down to earth people in the business. Nick, although not as big as Mariah, had some films and DJ gigs under his belt before he met his current wife. Nick is certainly not a gold digger. Dude is a hard worker and he's a really great guy. I'm in the business and have yet to meet anyone who dislikes Nick.

Congrats to Nick and Mariah!

Congratualations to Mariah and Nick on you bundle of joy. Whoever said they will have nannies so what. If I was rich so would I.

Love you guys

By Courtney

the time in the article is incorrect the twins were born after 9am not noon. it's a miracle she made it full term twins usually don't and they aren't going to have nannies and have said so themselves countless times. nor is it irresponsible to have children at her age it's been done for decades even before scientiffic asistence. of the 2.1 million births in her age group annually 39% of them are twins and 65% of those are boy/girl fraternal all that matters is everyone is safe & healthy
