Pictures of newlyweds Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon
Mariah Carey's first encounter with her new husband took place only a month ago on the set of her new music video, it has been revealed. Mariah, 38, first met the actor, who is 11 years her junior, on the set of "Bye Bye" in March. They enjoyed a whirlwind romance before Mariah was spotted with an engagement ring last week.
A source told People.com the newlyweds didn't know each other before Carey's video shoot in the Caribbean on March 26th. "Nick was cast as the romantic lead and was flown to Antigua where they met so basically their romance started during the shoot. She's very into religion and Nick is very into religion. That's something they bonded on."
After initial reports the couple failed to sign a prenuptial agreement, it has been revealed Mariah did in fact sign a contract prior to the wedding ceremony. Mariah told Fox News: "Anyone who thinks we didn't have a prenup is smoking something!"
The couple are currently on their honeymoon in the Bahamas and Mariah is said to be "over the moon". Vogue editor Andre Leon Talley said: "She is very happy. I've spoken with her and she is superb. She is over the moon."
When asked what he loved about the multi-millionaire singer and songwriter, Cannon reportedly said "everything". Guests at the Caribbean ceremony apparently included the star's longtime friend, rapper Da Brat. This is the second marriage for Mariah. In 1993 she married Columbia Records Executive Tommy Mottola, but they split just four years later.
New husband Cannon made his television debut on kids cable channel Nickelodeon's "All That". He has had a few film parts, but has remained mostly on US television. Meanwhile, Mariah has enjoyed massive success as a recording artist with her record sales putting her alongside the Beatles and ahead of Elvis Presley in the record books.
She recently beat Elvis Presley to the amount of Number One hits scored on the Billboard charts. 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. (Daily Mail)
