Mariah Carey is convinced new husband Nick Cannon is her soulmate – because he reminds her of her mother.

The singer explains Cannon can make a bad situation good because he has such an upbeat attitude – just like her own mom.

She says, “When I was a kid there was an ice storm in the suburbs… We went to Manhattan to stay with a friend of my mom’s. There was nobody on the road. It was this moment that could’ve been scary for a kid, but she made it festive. That’s what Nick is like. He takes the hard part of a situation and makes it celebratory.”

Mariah Carey has spoken out to quash ongoing rumors of trouble in her marriage to Nick Cannon, declaring “life is beautiful”.

The couple wed in the Bahamas in April after a whirlwind romance, but rumors of a rocky relationship began to surface earlier this month.

Rapper/actor Cannon has already dismissed the claims, declaring that marriage is “the best thing that ever happened to me”.

And now the Hero hitmaker has moved to put an end to the gossip, urging doubters to join the couple and “celebrate” their nuptials.

She tells MTV.com, “(When I hear that) things are rocky and hazy and messed up… I’m like, ‘Why would we have gotten married to do that?’ People are going to say what they say, but what would be the purpose? I guess other people do those things for a purpose, but I don’t know. I’m ecstatic, so be ecstatic with me! Be happy with me. Can we celebrate?”

Mariah Carey has hit out at the media over reports she is planning a $4 million wedding ceremony to celebrate her marriage to Nick Cannon.

The couple married quietly in the Bahamas in April and there have been rumors ever since that they are to host a lavish event in New York this summer to renew their vows in front of their friends and family.

Carey has since denied they will be hosting a bigger ceremony and has now criticised the press for spreading the stories.

She says, “It’s difficult, especially when legitimate press is saying, ‘They’re having a $4 million wedding.’ Why? What – did we set a budget? ‘It’s gonna be $4 million! It’s going to be really cool! We’re going to give away gold as people leave! We’re going to sprinkle them with gold! It’s going to be very Coming to America!’ What do they think? Our whole point (in having the unannounced beach wedding) was to do the opposite!”

Newlywed Nick Cannon is the envy of most men — and he’s aware that he hit the jackpot. The 27-year-old gushed about married life with Mariah Carey, 38. “It’s amazing, it’s the best thing that’s ever happened to me,” Nick told In Touch when he guest-deejayed at the grand opening of Christian Audigier The Nightclub at Treasure Island in Las Vegas on the Fourth of July. Mariah wasn’t spotted out on the holiday weekend.

Mariah Carey says before meeting husband Nick Cannon, she went through such low times that she dreamt of being “kidnapped” from her life.

“When I was in an unhappy place in my life … I always wanted to be kidnapped,” the singer tells Elle magazine. “I just wanted a way out, but I didn’t have one.”

Ten years after her split with ex-husband Tommy Mottola, Cannon stepped into her life – and whisked her up in a whirlwind romance.

“We really kept the whole relationship aspect of it quiet,” Carey says of their speedy courtship and top-secret nuptials. “We didn’t want to give people a chance to be like, ‘What are you doing? What are you talking about? This is so quick …. Are you sure?’ ”

Then, one night, while hanging out on the rooftop of her Manhattan apartment, Cannon popped the question with a 17-carat diamond hidden inside a candy ring pop. “They’ve been calling me Cinderella since I first started out,” she says of the fairytale-worthy proposal. “Most people would think, Okay, please! This doesn’t happen in real life.”

A few days later, Carey got her wish – a kidnapping – and a second proposal.

“He sort of kidnapped me and took me on a helicopter ride,” she says. “Then he re-proposed.”

Nick Cannon has laughed off rumors his marriage to Mariah Carey is on the rocks, insisting they couldn’t be happier.

The couple wed in the Bahamas in April after a whirlwind romance, but earlier this week internet gossips were already speculating about trouble in their relationship.

Reports alleged that Cannon was tiring of the R&B superstar’s demands, with one source telling OK! magazine, “He’s basically around to attend to her diva-ish ways.”

But Cannon has dismissed the claims.

He tells People.com, “Marriage is amazing. It’s the best thing that ever happened to me.”
