Mimi Wants To Be A Mommy

Filed under: Baby Blabber > Love Line > Mariah Carey > Nick Cannon

wenn2569659mimoo__opt2.jpg

Mariah Carey's maternal clock must be ticking faster every minute.

During a new interview with In Touch Weekly, the diva, along with her hubby Nick Cannon- Carey, opens up about her career, love life, and her desire to be a mommy.

And at 39-years-old, she better hurry!

When asked if they want kids, Mariah says they "definitely" want a family while Nick adds: "Yes, of course. It’s at the forefront of our minds. We’re very close. But we want to enjoy our first year together. We didn’t have a stable environment. The first year we were in LA in a hotel and then we were like, “Let’s get a house.”

Though the couple can't decide if they're gonna raise the kids in New York or LA, but they do know they'd like two kids.

Mimi adds: "Of course, we’d be happy with one. I want to be able to manage the right amount of attention. We are so busy — if you have six kids running around, no one gets what they need. Kids need a lot of attention."

And if Mariah gets too old to have kids of her own, adoption isn't out of the question.

Says Nick, "It’s never out of the question. I was raised by my grandmother, who was also a foster mom, so I grew up around a lot of kids."

But what about the extra weight gained during pregnancy? According to Mimi, she won't mind it.

Adds the diva, "I’d be fine with it. I’m not one of those people who is usually a size 2 to start with and gets scared they will end up a size 3.

    Well duh. She probably isn't going to tour for this album. I don't think she really cares. She deserves to focus on her family now, she's been in the business for so long and has had a very successful career. I think she should take some years off and have some babies! Let's pass that voice and those amazing genes on!



  2. 2

    i love mariah! i think she dedicated the past 20 yrs of life to her career. maybe she should take a long break and focus on herself/family



  3. 3

    BigDaddyMagnum says, "Maybe she can finally put those huge fake cans to good use. Especially since she can't do anything else right lately."



  4. 4

    hopefully they don't have a little girl - she'd be like 5 complaining that mommy is wearing her clothing……..

    Mariah would make a great mother! and with Nick also….if there is that scare of her getting to mature to have kids then she should do as SJP and have a surrogate mother carry the baby….she's just gotta make sure to pass along her genes! that voice needs to make it to another generation! lol



  6. 6

    you make it sound like 39 is so old, but have you looked around lately? 39/40 yr olds are having goods alot these days. i think she would make a good mom.

    Re: BottomAceNJ – maybe you need to re read what she said, she never once said she was a size two.

CHECK THE PICS, AND BTW SHE WISHES SHE WOULD END UP A SIZE 3 AFTER A BABY, IF SHE EVER HAS A BABY I SEE MARIAH SHOPPING AT ARETHA FRANKLIN'S CLOSET IN LESS THEN 10 YEARS!!!!



  16. 16

    Once again Perez, she's 40!!!! She just celebrated her 40th!!! I guess she can't handle the 40 so she'll be perpetually 39 until she's 50!!!! Can she even have kids???



  17. 17

    Ok some people are not meant to be a mom, Mariah is one of those people, that poor kid is gonna get put away in the hello kitty room like the rest of the toys, there is no way in hell she could handle putting someone else first, dont do it girl

    "…if you have six kids running around, no one gets what they need. Kids need a lot of attention."

    "I’m not one of those people who is usually a size 2 to start with and gets scared they will end up a size 3."

  20. 20

    aww// mimi and nick would make such wonderful parents! I pray God blesses them with at least one biological child!



  21. 21

    Re: Lindik – of course she can have kids! :) Halle berry was 41 or 42 when she had sweet adorable Nahla, and Nancy Grace (from CNN) was 45 when she gave birth to twins. If it's God's will, Mariah will become preggers



  22. 22

    SHE IS NOT mother material. That is plain to see in her every move, her every breath, her every song, her every personal choice. She is a narcissist. There are already enough fucked up children in the world. A child needs a selfless person to love and raise it right. She is ANYthing but selfless.



  23. 23

    I think it's too late but hey you never know

  24. Brtt says – reply to this


    24

    Why should she hurry before she turns 40? Madonna had her kids after 40, and is still adopting at 50.



  25. 25

    Mariah is A VERY MATERNAL person. She will be an excellent mother so I wish she is blessed with motherhood really soon.

    Re: RobPnMeShouldB

    I worship Mariah, but that comment made me LOL!!!



  31. 31

    She prolly need to hurry then and have a baby, cause mimi you are not 27 you bout to bust 40 wide open.



  32. 32

    I hope and pray with all I have and got; they start a family soon!
    They have a couple of children; whom would be just… untrue, so gorgeous you can't explain.
    Imagine that mix of PERFECT, flawless beauty which Mariah has, and the fittness, hotness and handsomeness which NCannon has.

    The talent these children would hold, would be beyond measure, the voice, the beauty and the everything!
    Oooh I can't wait, all my wishes are with you MCC!

    LY AY AEY! L4L forever! X0×0x0×0x0xx0×0x0×0x
