CANNON URGES THE PRESS TO BACK OFF WITH CAREY BABY REPORTS
NICK CANNON has fired off at prying journalists for fuelling rumours his wife MARIAH CAREY is pregnant, insisting the singer will address the repo rts "directly" when she is ready.
Speculation has swirled around the couple since Carey pulled out of a T yler Perry movie over mysterious health concerns in June (10), but she’s yet to confirm or deny whether she’s a mum-to-be.
Cannon finally spoke up last month (Jul10), telling U.S. magazine Star "Mariah is not pregnant" - but new photos of the singer performing in Bra zil and sporting what looks like a fuller figure have raised fresh questi ons about the baby news.
And so Cannon has spoken out once again, insisting his wife will issue comment when the time is right.
Ranting in a radio interview on New York’s 92.3 FM on Monday (23Aug10), he said, "I’ve said it before and I’ll say it time and time again - when my wife feels like talking about whatever she wants to talk about, you w ill hear it directly from her.
"Honestly… I say this to you so you can tell whoever it is you’ve got to tell, we all know it’s extremely personal, and it is for a woman to d eal with things with her body, and especially when dealing with the idea of childbirth and all that stuff.
"We know that we’re public figures… but that’s something that you wan t to keep near and dear… until you’re 100 per cent sure in any situatio n… There’s a certain time limit that you’re supposed to wait before you actually can officially say that you are (pregnant).
"You’ve got to take all those things into factor and it gets really hei ghtened when you’re one of the most famous people in the world because yo u don’t want to mislead anybody." Carey and Cannon wed after a whirlwind romance in 2008.
