After months of speculations, it is official now. Pop singer, Mariah Carey is pregnant. Nick Cannon, the father of the baby and Mariah have finally revealed to some media houses the news and said that the couple is expecting their first child.

This also confirms the news that stated that Mariah was asked to leave a role since she was pregnant. RadarOnline. com had reported some time back that the 40-year old singer was thrown out of a role in Cindi Berger's movie.

It was said some time back by the people close to the couple that they were happy but had kept quiet so that the news does not create a big buzz in the industry.

However, no common press statement was made by the couple till now. As they have not talked about in the open till now is that they are thinking of starting a family and no denial about the baby has been made till now.

The two people have been married since 2008 and have had no troubles in their family lives till now. And the next logical step is a child.
