The New York Post said on Thursday the pair wed in a secret
ceremony in front of family and friends at Carey's house in
Eleuthera, citing a source close to Carey. Latina.com, the Web site for Latina magazine, cited a
source near Cannon as saying the nuptials took place on
Wednesday, and In Touch Weekly said Cannon had designed a $2.5
million ring he gave to his new bride. The reports could not be immediately confirmed and
representatives for Carey and Cannon did not return e-mails or
phone calls for comment. Carey, 38, recently released the No. 1 single "Touch My
Body" off her album "E=MC2," which also debuted on record
charts as the best-selling album in mid-April. She has enjoyed
tremendous success as a recording artist starting in 1990 with
her self-titled debut album. Cannon, 11 years younger than Carey, has acted on
television and in films such as 2002's "Drumline" and "Shall We
Dance?" and he made his singing debut with a self-titled album
in 2003 and followed up in 2006 with "Stages." The pair met when Cannon directed a video for her recent
single, "Bye, Bye," and have been dating for several weeks,
according to reports. Carey was married previously to record executive Tommy
Mottola, but they divorced in 1998. It is Cannon's first
marriage. (Editing by Mary Milliken and Peter Cooney) |
