Nick Cannon Confirms Mariah Carey Is Carrying Twins

After weeks of denying that he and wife Mariah Carey are expecting twins, Nick Cannon is finally ready to tell the word that two babies are definitely on the way!

On his 92.3 Now radio show, Cannon, 30, confirmed the news telling listeners:

"In order for my wife and I to have our life, we need to be up front and I need to be able to share things with you and be real. I didn't even tell my wife I was gonna do this," he admitted. "I'm probably gonna get yelled at for not getting permission...We are having twins!"

Nick also says that the Obamas were the first to hear the news. He adds:

"They actually even questioned my wife about [the twins]. She hadn't told anybody anything! Because of the excitement and emotion, she shared [the news] with the President and the First Lady."

As for why he and Carrey, 40, kept news of the twins a secret, Cannon says, "That was something that we were advised to keep close to ourselves."

So happy for them!
