Mariah Carey And Nick Cannon's Marriage Is Official

A family member of Nick Cannon has confirmed that the 27 year-old actor/rapper did marry R&B diva Mariah Carey.

Linda Cannon, an alleged Cannon family member, told E! Nick informed her of the news, "Yes, we know. He called us and told us all about it," she stated. "We are happy for him. If that is what he wants, then we are happy for him."

She added, "I'm not going to give you any details, but we are happy for him."

Speculation began earlier this week and was fueled when Mariah, 39 was spotted wearing an engagement ring similar to the one Cannon gave his ex-fiancée and Victoria Secret model, Selita Ebanks. Ironically, Cannon also plays Mariah's love interest in the video for her latest single, "Bye Bye."

According to Latina magazine, the pair wed on Wednesday (Apr. 30) in a "very impulsive ceremony." Rapper Da Brat, a long time friend of Mariah is said to have been in attendance.

This marks the second marriage for Carey who wed Columbia Records executive Tommy Mottola in 1993. Their marriage lasted five years. Cannon has never been married before and called off his engagement to Selita Ebanks last year.
