One day after news emerged Mariah Carey has been sporting a huge diamond engagement ring, new reports allege she has already tied the knot with beau Nick Cannon. Latina.com reported the couple wed yesterday in a 'very impulsive' small ceremony on an undisclosed island.The ceremony was attended by a few close friends of the couple, including rapper Da Brat.The New York Post confirmed the news, reporting the ceremony was held at a home Carey recently bought in Eleuthera, the Bahamas. The newspaper reported a source as saying there was no pre-nuptial agreement: "There wasn't time." The Touch My Body singer was recently photographed wearing a large diamond ring - very similar, if not identical to the ring Cannon gave his former fiancee, Victoria's Secret Model Selita Ebanks.A source close to the 38-year-old star said: "Mariah is happier than she has ever been, and she puts a lot of that down to being with Nick. When he asked her to marry him, she had no hesitation in saying yes."
The couple met in March when Nick, 27, directed the video for Mariah's new single Bye Bye.Mariah - who was previously married to record executive Tommy Mottola - recently revealed any man would find it hard to compete with the amount of "adoration" she gets from her fans worldwide.She said: "I've always had really low self-esteem, and I still do. What is weird about that is being on stage, and the love that you get, and the adoration that you feel from your real fans. It's hard for a partner to compete - just imagine."- NZHERALD STAFF, BANG SHOWBIZ
