Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon Expecting Twins!

By Michael Lopez

Mariah Carey seems to be full of surprises these days. First she confirmed that she and hubby Nick Cannon are expecting, and now we’re getting word that she’ll be delivering twins. The 40-something pop diva also confessed that she had a difficult time conceiving, so we’re sure this news is twice as nice for the parents-to-be.

And who was the first person she shared the happy news with? According to Cannon, it was President Barack Obama.

"She shared with the President and the First Lady that we are having twins," Nick told New York’s 92.3 Now radio station. "I haven't even told my wife I was doing this, so I am probably going to get yelled at for not getting permission."

Who knew the Cannons and the Obamas were so close? Could Mariah be thinking of assigning godfather duties to the commander-in-chief? Probably not, but we imagine Mr. Prez would have a lot of wisdom to share with the little ones once they get older.

Unfortunately, Nick wasn’t ready to reveal the babies' genders just yet. Perhaps a cute boy and girl set like J. Lo’s Max and Emme? It doesn't really matter, as long as they're healthy, Nick said.

"[The latest ultrasound revealed] everything is A-OK, both babies are healthy, in tip-top shape," Cannon said. "The doctors are extremely happy. We are extremely happy."

We're happy to hear the good news! The babies should be entering the world sometime this spring.
