In what year did Mariah Carey marry Nick Cannon?

Mariah Carey married Nick Cannon in 2008, with the ceremony taking place on April 30 at her private estate on Windermere Island in the Bahamas.

The relationship developed quickly. Carey and Cannon met while working on the music video for “Bye Bye,” and they began dating in early 2008. Their private wedding came after only a few weeks of courtship, surprising many fans and entertainment observers. It was Carey's second marriage; she had previously been married to music executive Tommy Mottola.

Carey and Cannon later became parents to fraternal twins, Moroccan and Monroe, who were born on April 30, 2011—the couple's third wedding anniversary. The twins are often referred to by Carey as “dem babies.”

The marriage ended several years later. Cannon filed for divorce in 2014, and the divorce was finalized in 2016. The year 2008 refers to the wedding itself, not the later separation or divorce proceedings.
