Mystery over Mariah wedding story

Nick Cannon appears in the video for Mariah Carey's new single Bye Bye

Singer Mariah Carey is reported to have married actor Nick Cannon weeks after meeting him on the set of a video.

But there has been no confirmation from the pair's representatives. US media have claimed the ceremony took place in secret in the Bahamas on Wednesday.

People.com and E! News quoted his family members and a local clergyman as saying the pair did tie the knot.

Cannon, 27, is said to have met the star while making the video for her new single Bye Bye at the end of March.

The singer appeared to show off an engagement ring on 26 April

Carey and Cannon were seen together at the premiere of her film Tennessee at the Tribeca Film Festival in New York last weekend, with the singer sporting a diamond ring.

E! quoted a relative, Linda Cannon, as saying: "He called us and told us all about it. We are happy for him."

People.com quoted Bishop Clifford Petty of the National Church of God in the Caribbean as saying he presided over the wedding.

But some stories have questioned whether it is a publicity stunt for her new single, album and films.

Cannon has starred in the movies Day of the Dead, Drumline and Bobby and, according to his website, he will portray late tennis player Arthur Ashe in a forthcoming biopic.

He also released a rap album in 2003.

Carey was married to music mogul Tommy Mottola from 1993 to 1998.
