Mariah Carey & Nick Cannon Dating?

By: Shannon Gossage

Carey, 38, and Cannon, 27, reportedly met when he was hired to appear in E=MC2, Carey’s new video. The two reportedly hit it off immediately and have begun dating. Carey is notorious for keeping her private life on the down low and sources say this relationship is no different. A source said, "Mariah is the master when it comes to keeping her relationships secret. Even though she’s a big star, she likes to keep her private life to herself." Carey’s rep shot down the Cannon romance rumors last week, but it has reportedly been the talk of the town.

Carey and Cannon reportedly flamed the rumors fires after they were spotted earlier this week in Las Vegas together. The two reportedly flew into Vegas together to celebrate rapper Da Brat’s 34th birthday at Sin City’s hotspot Prive, where Cannon was set to deejay. A source said the two looked pretty cozy before Cannon got to work and he even reportedly sent Carey out a secret shout out when he played "Public Service Announcement" by Jay-Z singing along with the lyrics, "I got the hottest chick in the game."

Carey was previously married to Record Exec Tommy Mottola. The two were married in 1993 and split four years later. Lately she has been romantically linked to rapper Eminem and singer Luis Manuel. Cannon previously dated actress and singer Christina Millian, reality television star Kim Kardashian, and actress Zulay Henao. He dated Henao after he called off his very brief engagement to Victoria’s Secret model Selita Ebanks.
