Mariah Carey gives birth to twins

Singer Mariah Carey on Saturday gave birth to twins, delivering a boy and a girl on the third anniversary of her wedding to actor Nick Cannon, her spokesperson said.

The babies were born shortly after 9 am1600 GMT at a Los Angeles hospital, said Carey's representative, Cindi Berger.

Berger said the babies weigh over 5 pounds each. The names of the children were not immediately known.

Grammy-winning singer Carey and Cannon, an actor and rapper, were married on April 30, 2008.

"The babies were born on their wedding anniversary," Berger said in a statement. "Not even Mariah could plan that!"

Carey announced she was pregnant in October. At the time, Cannon said the couple delayed telling people about the pregnancy because Carey once suffered a miscarriage.
