NEW YORK (AP) — Mariah Carey is going to be a mom twice over.

Nick Cannon announced on his radio show Thursday that his wife is expecting twins.

Said Cannon on New York’s 92.3 station: “I haven’t even told my wife I doing this so I’m probably gonna get yelled at for not getting permission. … We are having twins!”

Mariah Carey’s publicist Cindi Berger confirmed the news as well.
