Now the news is out. The Canadian singer, 38, confirmed in an interview with‘People’magazine that she has married American actor and rapper Nick Cannon . The couple secretly tied the knot in a ceremony in the Bahamas. This followed a whirlwind six-week romance after they both fell in love at first sight. Carey told‘People’magazine how happy she felt: “We really do feel weare soul mates. I never felt a love like this was in the cards for me,” she said. Cannon also spoke of his marital bliss, saying: “Since we've been together, we've been inseparable . \" Cannon said: \"She is beautiful on the outside and 10 times as beautiful on the inside . \" He confessed that he only popped the question five days before the wedding.  \nThe pop superstar met Cannon, eleven years her junior, in March, while filming the video for her new single . However, she made it clear that her marriage was not a last minute thing. She said that they got tattoos done on their backs as a sign of their love weeks before the wedding. Talk show queen Oprah Winfrey recently revealed that Carey had shown her the tattoo, which said “Mrs Cannon”. Carey did not say why she kept the news of the wedding a secret for a whole week. Speculation about the marriage grew at the weekend when the couple was spotted together at a New York film festival. It was the movie premiere of her new film‘Tennessee’– Carey was wearing a huge diamond on her ring finger. The couple now wants to enjoy life as newlyweds away from the cameras.  \nMariah Carey confesses to secret wedding - 9th May, 2008  \nMore free lessons [at www.BreakingNewsEnglish.com](at www.BreakingNewsEnglish.com) 2  \nWARM-UPS  \n1 .
