A Brief Guide to the Mariah Carey Pregnancy Rumors

The always-playful Nick Cannon, 29, has made toying with the media about the pregnancy rumors surrounding his wife a full-time job! Mariah Carey, 40, has been the subject of many a womb speculation ever since Latina.com broke the news of her marriage to Cannon back in May, 2008. But lately, the buzz has gone into overdrive.

Cannon is feeding the flames by posting Twitter messages about his wife and joking about baby names on his morning radio show. "We're gonna do it like George Foreman," Cannon, joked on 92.3 Now "We're gonna name all of our kids Mariah no matter if they're boys or girls...Mariah No. 1, Boy Mariah, Man Mariah, Tall Mariah. It's gonna be a house full of people named Mariah."

But he also got serious for a moment: "If and when, my wife, Mariah Carey, is ready to make an announcement, if and when, she'll do that. She won't use any blogs or any of that type of stuff, nobody will get the scoop. She's gonna be the person to tell people what she wants to tell people—shoot, I'm hoping she calls in and gives me the scoop!"

Until Mariah gives us "the scoop," we decided to take a brief tour of photos that have sparked pregnancy rumors about the star over the last few years.

Mariah Carey remained suspiciously under wraps during a weekend holiday to Mexico with her hubby back in November, 2008. Carey also clutched her tummy while Cannon lounged nearby, sipping on a tropical beverage, which the singer avoided during the vacation. Around this time, Carey suggested a baby could be in the near future, saying that procreation was "part of the whole purpose of getting married."
