Celebrity Mound

The ‘America’s Got Talent’ host – who became a father for the first time last month when the singer gave birth to their twins Moroccan Scott and Monroe – is amazed by how fortunate he has been in his personal life and says he has never been happier now he is a dad.

When asked if he wakes up in disbelief that Mariah is next to him, he replied: “Every single day. Every time – I – and especially now, because it’s on a whole different level because it was like, ‘Ooh, I have my dream girl and this is amazing.’

“But now, like, to actually have a family and to look down and see children that look like both of us, it’s, it’s surreal, man.

“I’m loving it, man. I can’t stop smiling. It’s an amazing thing to look down and see miniature yous looking up at you and stuff.”

Nick explained Mariah has always been his “celebrity crush” and he was determined to be in a relationship with her and, when they met three years ago, was thrilled to find she was not the diva people had previously claimed.

He told TV talk show host Piers Morgan: “I mean, I’ve always loved her. I’ve always been a huge fan. I would say I’ve spoken into existence because that was like my celebrity crush. And when I met her for the first time, I thought, ‘Oh, I’m going to have to meet this diva and I’m going to have to do this.’

“I mean, she was so down to earth and so normal and so regular – and a lot like I was.”

The singer – who welcomed Moroccan and Monroe into the world on April 30 – has now left hospital, and her husband Nick Cannon is overjoyed because for the first time it will just be the four of them with no medical professionals around.

Speaking on Saturday, Nick said: “My twins came home today. It’s a whole other level now because they’re at home.

“There’s no hospital rooms, and there’s no nurses, it’s just us. So, it’s real. It’s a little scary at times, but we’re handling it.”

‘America’s Got Talent’ host Nick has found it particularly hard to be away from the twins, something he wasn’t expecting.

He told ‘Access Hollywood’: “I didn’t know it was going to be this tough to leave home every time! Like, I left the hospital to go to New York to do promotion earlier in the week – that was tough. But I’m dealing with it.”
Mariah is also doing well at home, with Nick adding she was looking “beautiful”.

He said: “She’s up and walking around. It’s beautiful – she’s a mommy!”

Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon celebrated their third anniversary with another milestone – becoming parents to a baby girl and boy.

Carey’s representative, Cindi Berger, confirmed the births to The Associated Press. The singing superstar gave birth Saturday at 12:07 p.m. EDT at an undisclosed hospital in Los Angeles. Berger says the baby girl was born first, weighing 5 pounds, 3 ounces, and was 18 inches long; her brother was next, at 5 pounds 6 ounces, and was 19 inches.

Berger says the couple has not named the children yet. Cannon drove Carey to the hospital in their Rolls-Royce Phantom. Berger said the 41-year-old Carey, who had gone through false labor, was calm, thinking that it was another false alarm.

Meanwhile, the 30-year-old Cannon was so nervous he went to the wrong department at the hospital, and was guided to the maternity ward by a nurse.

“It was like right out of an ‘I Love Lucy’ skit,” said Berger.

Berger says they were listening to Carey’s “We Belong Together” after the children were born.

The couple are expected to renew their wedding vows on Sunday. 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, Carey recently declared she’s done.
