LOS ANGELES
(Reuters) - Top-selling recording artist Mariah Carey and
popular rap singer and actor Nick Cannon married this week in
the Bahamas, according to several media reports.
The New York Post
said on Thursday the pair wed in a secret ceremony in front of
family and friends at Carey's house in Eleuthera, citing a
source close to Carey.
Latina.com, the Web
site for Latina magazine, cited a source near Cannon as saying
the nuptials took place on Wednesday, and In Touch Weekly said
Cannon had designed a $2.5 million ring he gave to his new
bride.
The reports could
not be immediately confirmed and representatives for Carey and
Cannon did not return e-mails or phone calls for comment.
Carey, 38, recently
released the No. 1 single "Touch My Body" off her album "E=MC2,"
which also debuted on record charts as the best-selling album in
mid-April. She has enjoyed tremendous success as a recording
artist starting in 1990 with her self-titled debut album.
Cannon, 11 years
younger than Carey, has acted on television and in films such as
2002's "Drumline" and "Shall We Dance?" and he made his singing
debut with a self-titled album in 2003 and followed up in 2006
with "Stages."
The pair met when
Cannon directed a video for her recent single, "Bye, Bye," and
have been dating for several weeks, according to reports.
Carey was married
previously to record executive Tommy Mottola, but they divorced
in 1998. It is Cannon's first marriage.
