Pop diva Mariah Carey has married rapper-actor Nick Cannon in a secret ceremony after a one-month romance. The 2 meet at Carey’s video shoot for her song “Bye, Bye” in the Caribbean on March 26. Nick was cast as the romantic lead and was flown to Antigua where they met so basically their started during the shoot. The best part is, she didn’t make him sign a pre-nup.

Representatives for Carey and Cannon, have not commented on the reports, which came after the singer was seen wearing a diamond ring at the premiere of her latest film “Tennessee” in New York last weekend

However E! Online quoted a member of Cannon’s family as saying that reports of a wedding were true. 

Meanwhile, People magazine reported on its website on Friday that Carey had obtained a marriage license on the island of Eleuthera. A New York Post report said Carey had wed at her estate off Eleuthera. 

“I’m shell-shocked,” a source in Carey’s camp tells People magazine. “As far as I know, they are happy together.”

Even Cannon’s family was surprised. “It’s crazy right! We’re definitely happy,” Cannon’s brother, Gabriel, tells People

Carey has sold around 160 million albums worldwide during a nearly two-decade long recording career. Earlier this month she dethroned Elvis Presley after passing the King of Rock ‘n’ Roll’s total number of US chart-toppers with her 18th No.1 hit. Only The Beatles, with 20 No.1s, have scored more. 

This would be Cannon’s first marriage but Carey’s second. She famously wed top music executive Tommy Mottola in an extravagant wedding in 1993. They had a bitter divorce in 1998.
