Mariah Carey cooks to cure pregnancy cravings

Mariah Carey has come up with a unique way to deal with her pregnancy cravings. The 40-year-old singer is currently pregnant with twins and her husband Nick Cannon revealed he is in more danger than his wife of putting on weight during the pregnancy because she keeps cooking food and then refusing to eat it.

“I think she’s figured out brilliantly that when she craves stuff she doesn’t necessarily have to eat it,” Nick said.

“When she cooks, she cooks everything from scratch and then the cravings go away. So I get stuck with eating all the food. I’ll be gaining weight during this pregnancy.”

Nick, 30, also revealed he is in awe of his wife and admitted she is handling expectant parenthood much better than he is.

“She’s holding up beautifully,” he said. “To see this strength! It’s a different type of strength to carry around two babies. She’s not even concerned with her aches and pains which I’m sure are great. She’s so nurturing right now. It’s wonderful. It’s amazing to see.

“I’m extremely excited about bringing new life into the world. It’s a journey every single day. It’s something new. I’m nervous. I’m excited. We’re just taking it one day at a time.”
