Nick Cannon and Mariah Carey Married

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Top-selling recording artist Mariah Carey and popular rap singer and actor Nick Cannon married this week in the Bahamas, according to several media reports.

The New York Post said on Thursday the pair wed in a secret ceremony in front of family and friends at Carey's house in Eleuthera, citing a source close to Carey.

Linda Cannon, an alleged Cannon family member, told E! Nick informed her of the news, "Yes, we know. He called us and told us all about it," she stated. "We are happy for him. If that is what he wants, then we are happy for him."

She added, "I'm not going to give you any details, but we are happy for him."

Latina.com, the Web site for Latina magazine, cited a source near Cannon as saying the nuptials took place on Wednesday, and In Touch Weekly said Cannon had designed a $2.5 million ring he gave to his new bride.

The reports could not be immediately confirmed and representatives for Carey and Cannon did not return e-mails or phone calls for comment.

The pair met when Cannon directed a video for her recent single, "Bye, Bye," and have been dating for several weeks, according to reports.

Carey was married previously to record executive Tommy Mottola, but they divorced in 1998. It is Cannon's first marriage.
