Mariah Carey's Family Shocked by Her Marriage to Nick Cannon

The New York Post is reporting that Mariah Carey's family is shocked by the her sudden nuptials to Nick Cannon, which was so hurried, that she didn't even bother with a pre-nuptial agreement. Mariah Carey, who is 11 years old than her new husband, has reportedly wed 27-year-old actor and presenter Nick Cannon at her home in the Bahamas after dating him for just one month.

She first sparked rumours when she was seen arriving at the Tribeca Film Festival arm-in-arm with Cannon. When asked what he loved about the multi-millionaire singer and songwriter, Cannon reportedly said "everything". A member of Cannon's family confirmed the report to US website E! News,"If that is what he wants then we are happy for him." Earlier this week Mariah Carey's spokesperson confirmed that the couple had got engaged and now it appears they have wed in secret.

This is the second marriage for Mariah, who was previously married to Columbia Records Executive Tommy Mottola. Her most recent single, Touch My Body, was her 18th number one single, and her latest album, E=MC2, also debuted at No. 1 on the charts.
