Mariah wants to have a baby
As she raised a glass of champagne at a party in their honor on August 9, Mariah Carey only had eyes for Nick Cannon. "We have never been so happy. He is my other half," she declared as she toasted her husband of four months at the bash at L.A. Reid's mansion in New York's Hamptons.
Since marrying on April 30 in the Bahamas, Mariah has been busy promoting her new album E=MC2 - but that's not the only important project the 39-year-old singer is working on. "She really wants a baby," reveals a friend. A witness at the Hamptons party says the couple may already be trying. "They slipped away early in the night to the guesthouse where they were staying," says the source. "They couldn't keep their hands off each other."
For Mariah, it's a big change of heart. A few weeks before marrying, she confessed that she wasn't ready for a baby. "It's hard to have kids in this world," she admitted. "I don't think I could properly educate a child right now. Maybe in the future, but for now, I enjoy my dog Jack's company."
But there could be one thing stopping Mariah and Nick, 27, from starting a family - her career. "She's so driven," the friend explains. "Work has always been her number-one priority." Dr. Joyce Brothers, who doesn't treat the singer, adds that this superstar diva might have some trouble putting a child's needs before her own. "The attention the baby will need will be difficult for Mariah," she tells In Touch. "But if she really wants it, she can make it work."
Mariah knows she's going to have to change for a child. "You have to take a backseat a little bit, and as someone in the public eye, you're not used to doing that," she admits. But friends of the couple are confident Mariah and Nick will make it work. Nick's pal Entertainment Tonight host Kevin Frazier, tells In Touch, "The timing couldn't be better. Nick would be a perfect father." Mariah couldn't agree more. "I couldn't imagine anybody that I've ever met being a better dad," she says. (In Touch)
