Reports of Marriage

SOURCE NOT STATED IN THE POST

Nick Cannon is cast as Mariah Carey's lover in her new video--but has the superstar diva given the young actor a considerably bigger role in real life? According to several published reports, Carey, 38, married Cannon, 27, on Wednesday. Neither Carey's publicist nor Cannon's manager returned calls.

If the pair did indeed wed, it would be a whirlwind romance.

Word that the two were seeing each other first surfaced in the lat few weeks. Last Saturday, Carey was seen sporting a huge diamond ring on her finger at the Tribeca Film Festival premiere of her movie, "Tennessee," in which she plays a waitress. Cannon was at her side at the party. Speculation swirled that the couple were engaged.

Latina.com was first to report that the two got married, at Carey's home in the Bahamas. Friday's New York Post also had the pair wed and E! Online quoted a relative of Cannon's as saying that he called his family and confirmed the news.
