The longest-speculated pregnancy ever has finally been confirmed: Mariah Carey is indeed pregnant. Though since people have been wondering if the singer had a bun in the oven for well over a year, it actually hasn’t been a secret for that long. Mariah, 41, will confirm to Access Hollywood (snippets were shown in a preview on The Today Show this morning) that she’s expecting, though she won’t say how far along she is. However it’s believed the diva is about four months.

Mariah and husband Nick Cannon also talked about her miscarriage two years ago, and said it brought them closer together as a couple. Understandably they’ve been very suspicious, which is why they’ve become so private since then.

Congrats! We’re sure the baby will come out wearing a tiara and demanding a pair of heels to slim her thighs right away.

Mariah and Nick are shown on his 30th birthday on October 8th.
