MARIAH CAREY has given husband NICK CANNON a wedding anniversary present to remember — a baby boy and girl.

The twins were born three years after the couple wed.
Carey's representative, Cindi Berger, said the singer delivered at 7.05am at an undisclosed hospital in Los Angeles.
Berger revealed that the baby girl was born first, weighing 5lb 3oz and measuring 18 inches. Her brother was 5lb 6oz and 19 inches.
Cannon tweeted: "My wife just gave me the most incredible anniversary gift ever in life! I won't ever be able to top this!"
Modest Mimi, 42, celebrated by listening to her own track We Belong Together after the as-yet-unamed children were born.
Celebs including NICKI MINAJ, ALYSSA MILANO and BOYZ II MEN have all sent tweets to the new mum.
Minaj wrote: "Congratulations Mariah & Nick!!!!!!!!! The twins have finally landed on earth!!! Yaaayyyy!!!!! @MariahCarey mmmuuuaaahhhh!!!!!!"
Actor and rapper Cannon, 30, last week predicted the twins would arrive on the couple's wedding anniversary.
