Mariah Carey is reported to have married actor Nick Cannon in the Bahamas, just weeks after the couple met. Although there has been no formal confirmation yet, various sources, including People and E! News, have quoted members of Cannon's family and a clergyman, who say the marriage did take place.
The pair met on the set of the video for Carey's new single 'Bye Bye' in March and by 26 Apr reports that the singer had been seen wearing a diamond ring emerged at the Tribeca Film Festival in New York.
However, not everyone is running to congratulate the couple. Some of the more cynical ends of the music and gossip press are suggesting that this is merely a publicity stunt to promote Carey's new album, particularly as it follows so soon after the wedding of Jay-Z and Beyonce Knowles that gained so many column inches after the pair refused to confirm or deny if they had tied the knot.
