Mariah and Nick Welcomes Twins on their 3rd Wedding Anniversary!

April 30 is a significant date for the soul diva Mariah Carey and Hip-hop singer Nick Cannon as they welcomed their adorable baby twins exactly on their 3rd wedding anniversary day!

Truly blessed indeed! The couple were overjoyed with this dual celebration that happened in their life as new mommy and daddy.

According to reports the fraternal twins have not yet been named , but what is known is that their eldest is a baby girl. The baby girl was born first weighing five pounds, three ounces (2.35 kilograms, followed by the boy with five pounds six ounces (2.44 kilograms) weight.

Her representative, Cindi Berger, confirmed the report that the songtress gave birth on Saturday, April 30, 2011 at exactly 12:07 p.m. EDT at an undisclosed hospital in Los Angeles.

Just like a newbie father, reports said that Nick was very nervous when Mariah had her contractions and was rushed to the hospital and drove Mariah in their Rolls-Royce Phantom.

Their fraternal twins were truly God given gifts to this couple after Mariah had a miscarriage shortly after they got married in 2007.

Now let’s take a look back on their luxurious preparations for the arrival of their twins!

The controversial Magazine Covers:

First it was only the full pregnant Mariah who posed for the cover of Life & Style Magazine for April 2011 issue; next she is with her Husband Nick on the cover of Britain’s Ok magazine:

The said photo shoots as per the couple is all about the preparations of having twins and a celebration of being a soon to be father and mother. Although the shots were artistically done, there were also negative comments that bombarded the couples:

Mariah said, “I was feeling very vulnerable about taking pictures at all right now, but then I didn’t want to miss this opportunity to document this once-in-a-lifetime experience. My ultimate goal was to share this incredibly personal moment with my true fans.”.

“The babies were kicking almost the entire time; it was unbelievable. Especially the girl – clearly she’s a diva in training!… Now I have so much respect for mothers everywhere, especially those who’ve had difficult pregnancies or given birth to multiples. We need to have Mother’s Day once a week!” she added.

Nick was really in favor of this idea and was very proud to be a father of Mariah’s children: I thought I couldn’t love Mariah more. But I have a whole new appreciation and admiration for her,” Nick said.

The “beautiful, tranquil, cozy environment for the twins”! the couple made two nurseries; one at their luxe Bel-Air, Calif., estate and the other at their NYC apartment. The million dollar worth nursery room’s motif is pink for the baby girl and moss green for the baby boy. 

“The ceiling has orangey-pink clouds in a blue sky with golden stars twinkling. It's based on two songs I wrote that are fan favorites: 'Underneath the Stars' and 'Close My Eyes.' Sometimes I just sit in the nursery and stare at the ceiling because I love it so much”, said proudly by Mariah.

Very lucky twins! Congratulations Nick and Mariah!

Our Most Unexpected Celeb Couplings

The recent news that Benicio del Toro was expecting a child with Kimberly Stewart (Rod Stewart’s daughter) had us all scratching our heads yesterday. Who even knew that they had ever met, much less become so intimately acquainted that they made a baby? But this isn’t the first time that a celeb couple has us all asking: What the heck is going on here?!

Here are five couples, some successful and some not, that shocked the world:

Lindsay Lohan and Wilmer Valderrama

How They Met: Wilmer is one of Hollywood’s most notorious Lothario’s and Lindsay Lohan is just notorious. So maybe it made more sense than we originally thought when they hooked up in May of 2004, but then again maybe not. The 17-year-old Freaky Friday starlet was barely legal when they began dating and they didn’t go public with their romance until her 18th birthday that July.

Current Relationship Status: Just four-months after going public (though they dated for nearly a year), their heavily documented relationship was over. We can’t say we were that surprised. Valderrama spoke out about his relationship with Lohan (and Mandy Moore and Jennifer Love Hewitt) in an infamous Howard Stern interview in 200

Kat von D & Jesse James

How They Met: Jesse James became America’s Most Hated Man when news broke that he’d cheated on Sandra Bullock (repeatedly) just days after her triumphant 2010 Oscar win. But apparently, that didn’t stop famed LA tattoo artist Kat Von D from falling for his charms and they two began dating in later that summer. After denying their romance for a few months, the couple finally came clean and have been photographed all around town since.

Current Relationship Status: Von D and James are currently engaged, and possibly already married. They are avid believers in Twitter PDA so it’s easy to keep tabs on this tattooed twosome.

Mariah Carey & Nick Cannon

How They Met: Nick Cannon fessed up to having a crush on the “Honey” singer long before they ever met, but it was on the set of Mariah’s music video for “Bye, Bye” that the sparks really began to fly. Less than two months later, Carey and Cannon married in an intimate ceremony at Mariah’s Eleuthura, Bahamas home on April 30, 2008—and we were just as shocked as everyone else when we broke the news!

Current Relationship Status: Married happily for three years and expecting their first set of babies, a matching set of boy & girl twins; this couple is going stronger than ever despite their apparent age and fame difference!

LeAnn Rimes & Eddie Cibrian

How They Met: LeAnn and Eddie met on the set of their made for television movie Northern Lights. Though both were married at the time, they couldn’t stop that feeling and soon found themselves embroiled in a cheating scandal when US Weekly magazine obtained video of them making out in a restaurant.

Current Relationship Status: Surprising everyone, us included, LeAnn and Eddie both divorced their significant others to start anew with each other. They are now engaged and plan on marrying sometime in 2011.

Melanie Griffith & Antonio Banderas

How They Met: The dashing Spanish actor and American Working Girl met on the set of the comedy Two Much in 1995. Though Griffith was still in an on-again-off-again relationship with Don Johnson, and Banderas was married to his first wife, he swept his leading off her feet and they were married a year later in May of 1996. Though Griffith has struggled with substance abuse many times over the course of their marriage, Banderas has always stood by her side.

Current Relationship Status: Still married and going strong, the couple has one daughter, Stella del Carmen Banderas Griffith. On his relationship, Banderas told Hello! magazine: “There were people who literally didn’t give us more than six months! But we love each other and above all we love our family. We’ve figured out how to get past obstacles - and some of them have been really tough ones.”

'I'm more attracted to my wife than ever,' says Nick Cannon as heavily pregnant Mariah Carey poses for nude cover shoot

'I'm more attracted to my wife than ever,' says Nick Cannon as heavily pregnant Mariah Carey poses for nude cover shoot

Mariah Carey has posed for her fair share of portraits. But none has been as personal or emotional as the singing legend unveiling her baby bump - days away from giving birth to twins.

Eight months pregnant Mariah, 42, proudly showed off the bump in time-honoured celebrity fashion - in an exclusive cover shoot with a magazine.

Bronzed, radiant, with her hair tumbling softly about her shoulders, the chart-topping singer looked relaxed as she awaits the arrival of her first children, a boy and a girl.

I was feeling very vulnerable about taking pictures at all right now, but then I didn’t want to miss this opportunity to document this once-in-a-lifetime experience,' Carey told Life & Style magazine.

Mariah Carey (L) and singer Nick Cannon arrive at the 16th Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards held at the Shrine Auditorium.

'My ultimate goal was to share this incredibly personal moment with my true fans.'

Carey joins a number of pregnant stars who have posed nude while heavily pregnant. Demi Moore famously appeared naked on the cover of Vanity Fair in August 1991 while seven months pregnant with daughter Scout LaRue.

Many have copied that pose, including Christina Aguilera, who was pictured pregnant with son Max on the January 2008 cover of Marie Claire.

Carey's twins - a boy and a girl - were clearly ready for their close-ups. She said: 'The babies were kicking almost the entire time; it was unbelievable.

'Especially the girl - clearly she’s a diva in training. We didn’t start shooting until 1:30am because I was in the hospital from the night before until the day of the shoot with contractions five minutes apart!'

Clearly, although Carey isn't due to give birth for a few weeks, the twins could be making their entrance sooner rather than later.

The We Belong together singer suffered a scare when she was admitted to hospital last month with early contractions. But for now, she and her husband Nick Cannon are enjoying their last few days as a household of two.

Cannon said he has never been more attracted to his wife. 'I thought I couldn’t love Mariah more,” he tells Life & Style.

'But I have a whole new appreciation and admiration for her.'
