The blogosphere is once again buzzing that songbird Mariah Carey is pregnant with husband Nick Cannon’s baby. And once again, Nick is jumping through hoops to downplay the rumors.
How many times do we have to go through this same song and dance? Obviously, if Mariah was pregnant enough to show, then they would have announced it by now. Right? So give the rumors a rest already, because she is clearly not pregnant.
Mariah is 40 now. As women age, our hormonal production begins to slow down. That’s when fat cells accumulate around our abdomen giving the appearance of pregnancy. For all we know, Mariah is probably premenopausal.
Here’s what 29-year-old Nick had to say about the situation to New York’s 92.3 FM station yesterday (pay attention to the text in bold and read between the lines):
I’ve have 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 will hear it directly from her.
We all know it’s extremely personal, and it’s for a woman to deal with things with her body, especially when dealing with the idea of childbirth and all that stuff.
That is something you want to keep near and dear and as close to you as you possibly can, until you’re 100% sure. In any situation, there is a certain time limit you’re supposed to wait before you can actually officially say that you are and all that stuff. You don’t want to mislead anybody.
TRANSLATION (this is what Nick really meant to say):
Mariah and I are not yet pregnant. She has issues going on with her body and stuff that’s related to her age. But we are spending obscene amounts of money on fertility doctors because Mariah and I really need this pregnancy to keep us both relevant. Please Pray for us.
