Here's a shot of Riri with her bro at the photoshoot for her June issue of Elle Magazine spread.
Here's a closer pic of him last year at her Cover Girl launching. Awww how cuuuutteee!
Mi son! Dis girl is just a camera's dream.....
sourceIn the June issue she talks about her relationship with her father (Now my dad is like the coolest person on the planet. He doesn’t smother me. He lets me live my life), her hair (“I kept telling my managers, I’m cutting my hair. I’m cutting my hair. And they’re like, ‘How short? Not too short. Cut it how short?’ And I’m like, ‘Up to here.’ They never believed me.") and her boboo Chris Brown ("We’ve always been friends, but we’re very close now.”)
Ok so by now everyone know that Nick Cannon and Mariah Carey tied the knot in a supa exclusive ceremony in the Bahamas on April 30th. Thats the featured story in the upcoming edition of People Magazine. Check out the cover.
So hear what she tell People....."We really do feel we are soul mates - I never felt a love like this was in the cards for me,"
Carey, 38, met Cannon, 27, while shooting the music video for her single Bye Bye.
"It was a love-at-first-sight thing. Since we've been together, we've been inseparable," Cannon told the magazine.
It is the second marriage for Carey, who married Columbia Records executive Tommy Mottola in 1993, which ended in 1998.
Nick Cannon was sighted in NY sans the new missus Mariah Carey....ok this pic is on so many blogs and everyone stressing over his ring. This is a guy known for thinking out the box and doing things just a little bit different and we surprised that he doesn't have the typical band..puuuleease....I am surprised about that wedding but I ain't making no bets.....
