Ever since Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon confirmed their pregnancy news, the world has been wondering: Is it a boy or a girl? Maybe even multiples?

On Thursday, Cannon himself put rumors to rest on his radio show, telling listeners, "We are having twins."

The two have been cautious about revealing too many details since they've had a "long journey" to parenthood, which included a miscarriage in 2008. But when President Barack Obama happened to ask about her pregnancy, Carey just couldn't keep a secret.

While performing at TNT's Christmas in Washington 2010 on Sunday, Carey ran into President Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama backstage. "They, ironically enough, questioned my wife about, you know, 'So, what are you having, are you having twins?' " Cannon said Thursday morning on his 92.3 Rollin' With Nick Cannon radio show.

"And at this point she hadn't told anybody anything because doctors advised us to keep it to ourselves until we get further along," he said. "And because of the excitement, because of the emotion, she was overwhelmed [and] she shared with the President and First Lady that we are having twins."

Carey and Cannon have not revealed her due date.

I *just* read about this on Yahoo news. Congrats to them both!

I hope one's a boy and the other is a girl. That be cool.

But I guess the thing we should wish for is that both babies are born healthy.

I know an actual Mimi who had miscarriages then got pregnant with twins this year. The twins emancipated prematurely!

I called it! Told y'all she was BIG!

I'm so excited for her. Her and Nick will be great parents I think. A fun couple with a sense of humor, lots of love to give and good looks to pass on to the little ones. Yay MC_CANNON!!!!

It's true! She had two boys. Watch out for the synchronicity. I couldn't make this shit up!

she's looked pregnant for 2 years now. i figured it must be twins and she's incubating them one at a time.

I love how Barack & Michelle were the first ever to get the twins confirmation from her two days ago, and after she's performed One Child for them

I knew she was having twins. Women who get pregnant at that age usually do... just like Celine, J-Lo...

It's called In Vitro

No....umm..actually it's the fertility treatments. These women have a history of miscarrying, and at their age (and as a protective measure) they're implanted with with as many eggs as possible to increase their chances of conceiving. It's just that most of them don't go them Kate Gosselin route and have all 8 babies at the same time if they get lucky. Celine Dion had her eggs held in her doctor's clinic when she was found to be pregnant with her first child, and always made it very clear that she was going to do this again and have more children. After many unsuccessful attempts she was blessed with 2 new additions to her family, but make no mistake these women who go this route have to struggle for it. While the twins just don't suddenly pop up the usual way, I imagine that when women are in the mind frame that they can take on two new babies, they happily forge right ahead

That's what I meant, women who get pregnant at that age go beyond natural efforts.

Congratulations to them both! They are well deserving to receive their bundles of joy.
