SINGER Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon celebrated their third anniversary with another milestone - becoming parents to a baby girl and boy.
The star gave birth to the twins at 12:07pm on Saturday at an undisclosed hospital in Los Angeles.
The girl was the first to be delivered, weighing 2.35 kilograms and measuring 45.7 centimeters. Her brother was next, at 2.44 kilograms and 48.3 centimeters.
Cindi Berger, a spokeswoman for the couple, said they had not yet named the children.
Cannon drove Carey to hospital in their Rolls-Royce Phantom. Berger said 41-year-old Carey, who had gone through a false labor, was calm, thinking it was another false alarm.
Meanwhile, the 30-year-old Cannon was so nervous he went to the wrong department at the hospital, and had to be guided to the maternity ward by a nurse.
"It was like right out of an 'I Love Lucy' skit," said Berger, referring to the 1950s TV comedy series.
Berger says they were listening to Carey's "We Belong Together" after the children were born.
The couple were expected to renew their wedding vows yesterday.
The pair got married in 2007 after a whirlwind romance.
They were the subject of endless baby rumors, and the couple actually were expecting shortly after their marriage, but Carey had a miscarriage. They did not reveal the miscarriage until she announced her pregnancy last fall.
The couple plan to live a bi-coastal life, and have luxurious nurseries in both New York and Los Angeles.
As far as more children are concerned, Carey declared recently that she's "done."
