Mariah Carey is the queen of milking something for what it’s worth (which PS- you’d better get used to milking). Thursday morning, Mariah was seen confirming the news of her pregnancy on the Today Show in a sneak peak of a three-part interview with Access Hollywood.

The singer said:

“Yes, we are pregnant. It is true. It’s been a long journey. It’s been tough because I’ve been trying to hold on to a shred of privacy.”

Carey, 41, also revealed that she miscarried right after she and husband Nick Cannon, 30, wed in 2008:

“It kind of shook us both and took us into a place that was really dark and difficult. When that happened… I wasn’t able to even talk to anybody about it. That was not easy.”

Cannon added:

“it definitely brought us closer together. It strengthened our relationship so much… She handled it so well.”

The couple, who renewed their vows in May to celebrate their second anniversary, have been avoiding the rumors and questions for months. Cannon said in August:

“I’ve 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. Honestly … I say this to you so you can tell whoever it is you’ve got to tell, we all know it’s extremely personal, and it is for a woman to deal with things with her body, and especially when dealing with the idea of childbirth and all that stuff.”

Well, thank goodness this is over. If I had to read one more speculation, I was gonna call her up myself. They really did the right thing since they’ve already experienced one miscarriage. So sorry to hear that!

Congratulations to Mariah and Nick!
