Nick Cannon: Mariah Carey Having Twins "Any Moment Now"

Nick Cannon said his pregnant wife Mariah Carey is due "any moment now."

In a Thursday appearance on The Talk, the 30-year-old dad-to-be said he and Carey, 42, are eagerly awaiting the arrival of their son and daughter.

"How's [Mariah] doing? She's pregnant," Cannon quipped. "She's doing amazing, but literally, it's any moment now. It's not even any day now… She is ready to just pop!"

Cannon said he and Carey almost headed to the hospital Wednesday night. "The baby nurse and all that is ready. [The] bags are packed! I don't know why I'm here!"

Having twins on the way has caused the self-proclaimed "daredevil" to live a bit more cautiously. He explained: "I was filming America's Got Talent, and I do a lot of crazy stuff on that show… And I found myself thousands of feet in the air in a hot-air balloon. The only thing separating me from the ground was a wicker basket. And I looked down, and [at] that moment, I was like 'I can't do this anymore.' A good gust of wind, and my children might never meet their father!"

"I've got to take into consideration that I've got other lives that I'm responsible for," he said.

So what did his wife think of that risky hot-air balloon stunt? He joked: "She doesn't know!"

Mariah Carey confirms the rumor

You know how some secrets aren't really secrets until the object of the secret confirms the heretofore not-very-secret information and then it's blasted all over the planet in terms like, "the secret finally is out"? You know how that happens, especially among the oh-so-discreet denizens of Celebrityville? Well, the monthslong not-so-secret secret of Mariah Carey's being with child has been verified by Carey herself in an interview with Access Hollywood, part of which was excerpted Thursday on NBC's Today show. Said Carey in a precise style that politicians would do well to copy, "Yes, we are pregnant, this is true." She then added, "It's been a long journey, but it's been tough because I have been trying to hold on to a shred of privacy, and that was not easy." That journey was made painfully long, she revealed, by the miscarriage she suffered not long after she and her husband, America's Got Talent host Nick Cannon, married in 2008. Here's wishing them the best.
