Close sources have informed us that Mariah Carey is pregnant with her first child! Mariah Carey who turned 40 this year is finally having a family with husband Nick Cannon – something that both have tried to do for a very long time.

A source told us that both are “very excited and happy” – well of course! It’s been no secret that Mariah Carey has wanted to be a mother for a very long time now; despite given the chance for a long time Mariah Carey‘s career had seemed to get ahead of her which put any time of even thinking about getting married; let alone having children aside! Mariah Carey said at the spirit award ”that something else very special is on the way” and only weeks ago did Mariah drop out a another film (Tyler Perry’s) due to “medical” issues!

So yes this Diva joins the likes of Alicia Keys who is also pregnant! Congratulations to Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon. Although no official statement from any reps we a;; known that Mariah had wanted to keep any pregnancy a secret as long as they can; the couple who also renewed their wedding vows in April also kept their wedding a big secret; it was not long ago when Nick Cannon had given Mariah Carey the wedding ring of any Diva’s dream.
