Nick Cannon: Pregnancy Is "Spiritual" for Mariah Carey

Last Thursday, Mariah Carey finally addressed rumors of her pregnancy with her own short statement, thanking fans for "well wishes" but noting she is "very superstitious."
"I think 'superstitious' might be the wrong word," her husband Nick Cannon told UsMagazine.com at Sunday's Arthur Ashe Kids' Day tennis event in Flushing, New York.

"I think it's more of a spiritual thing," Cannon, 29, explained. "Like trying to stay true and stay private for as long as you possibly can. She wants to keep as much privacy as she possibly can."
("When the time is right, everyone will know," Carey's Thursday statement also noted. The latest baby-talk revved up again last week when the singer stepped out in Sao Paulo, Brazil, in a $140 Pea in the Pod Spaghetti Strap Halter Maternity Maxi Dress.)

Cannon continued to be mum about any baby-to-be. "She'll talk when she’s ready to talk," the America's Got Talent host said of Carey, 41.
But Carey is "working" on an album in L.A. and feeling "good," Cannon assured reporters.

Cannon would love to be a dad. "I love kids," he said. "I'm all about kids. I'm a big kid!"
Would Cannon welcome twins? "Yeah! Octomom. Nine kids at once," he joked. "Whatever happens, whatever life God blesses you with, you have to take it and appreciate it."

68congrats mariah i think am your biggest fan i love u so much,well done nick love u to.
Congrats to Nick and Mariah she is positively glowing. I wish for them to have a beautiful healthly baby.
"whorship"??? Talk about Freudian slip, LOLOL!!!
@REMA that was a typing error actually i have been married 4 years. me and my husband decided to start a family right away there was no need to wait for us since we had been dating since i was 18 and we were both out of collage. SO SORRY NO ONE CAN MAKE A TYPING ERROR HEY BUT THATS FOR POINTING THAT OUT!!!!!!!
if you are not ignorant Lissy you are a very bad liar
I wish we could all be positive and just be happy for the couple. A child is a wonderful gift and they both seem like starting a family is a priority to them. Can't we just congratulate them?
Lissy earlier you said you were happily married for 14 years and then the second response you say you are 28. That means you got married at age 14. Not only that but you waited 11 years to have a child Really???
either she is pregnant, or she just fat or she shame to say she just fat gain weight one of other , because i know she really wants to be pregnant and i know she has really been trying get pregnant so don't let her fool u who she is fooling her husband he is going along with things because that might be the he ever lived she has little money so he has it made haaaa i bet she paid out alot money to get pregnant if she really is pregnant ....
@jdrobms: actually i am not ignorant i am 28 years old and have 2 beautiful babies 3 and 8 months. so no i dont have fertility problems and no i dont believe 60 is old at all but i do believe waiting till you are 40 or older to start a family is old.. so there is a diffrence btw ignorance and my opinion.
Lissy-I'm not sure what your deal is. You sound very young and ignorant. Speaking as a "young" 46 year old mother of a 16 year old and a 4 year old, I can tell you that 60 doesn't sound very old. If you choose to have children, I hope you don't have issues with fertility and have to endure treatments or go the route of adoption. Btw-I live in a fairly upscale area and the age of my husband and I along with our young children are not an anomaly. Many people are waiting until they're older, more mature, and more secure before starting a family.
Strange couple, he looks like her son.
OH MI-MOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO you have now become a COW.
Nick Cannon is cute but I wish he'd dump Mariah and go back to Christina Milian...she could really use him now.
Yeah Right @ LIssy lmfao - bragger
Oh for Barf's sake SHE IS PREGNANT why is any one even questioning it. It is sooooo fricken obvious.
OK first thing mariah you can do what you want with your life keep it private or not. But lets be honest people you have a CELEBRITY WHO CHOOSE TO BE A CELEBRITY. and nothing is really too private. you can only hide it so long before it comes out its kind of obvious you are pregnant or maybe you have just become FAT!! either way if you want to keep it secret why even talk about it and have nick your lil dog coming out hinting like you are... ALL YOU HAVE TO SAY IS THIS IS A PRIVATE MATTER THAT WILL NOT BE DISCUSSED PERIOD.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@FAME TRAIN.dont make me laugh. hahah actaully i am in better shape then her i happen to own a gym and am a trainer so wrong you are, and also i have been happily married with my husband for 14 years... and yes he is my bestfriend and yes he does whorship the ground i walk on so wrong again.. and no maybe i dont have millions but i do consider my self pretty wealthy being i own a gym, and my husband is a lawyer with his own firm. so your were wrong many times!!!!!! and she is fatter than usall i am not hating im just saying she used to be soo thin and now is fatter than usall so to me that means either she is prego or she let herself go. SO SHUT THE HECK UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
For Pete's sake it is perfectly normal for a 41 year old woman to be conservatively concerned about a pregnancy. She has to be careful and not celebrate too soon. The risks are much greater at her age. Hopefully she can take some time out of her schedule and stay rested.
Dear Nick: Grow a set of balls will ya? Now I know why Mariah married you--you're a puppet on a string. Just a little boy.
I wish Miriah and Her Husband Nick, all the Happiness in the World. They R a great couple. "U ", unhappy lizard tongue, belly crawlers . U mad cause U donot have any hope 4 yourself or anyone else. If U only knew how Hostile U sound. Find out where Yo hostility originated. TPT
