Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon

Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon are expecting twins.  Mariah's pregnancy was made public, on Access Hollywood, back in October of 2010.  In December, Mariah's husband Nick confirmed that the singer was expecting twins.  Now, Mariah has revealed, to Life & Style magazine, the babies' genders.  She revealed that she is expecting a boy and a girl.  Mariah, due to give birth in April, told the magazine that,

"Even before we announced it was twins, I was trying to keep everything gender-neutral, because I didn't want to impose an identity on them too soon."

Nick also revealed to Access Hollywood that Mariah is going through a "nesting" phase where she cooks all of the time, but makes him eat all of the food, so he's the one gaining weight!  Nick also confirmed that President Obama and the First Lady were the first to know that the couple was expecting twins.  Nick said,

"That was my wife. She was like, ‘Wouldn't that be a great story to be able to share with our children - that the first people to know that they were gonna be people was the President and First Lady?  So she told them at the same time."
