Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon aren't just dreamlovers anymore.
Family member Linda Cannon has confirmed to E! News that the couple are, in fact, married.
"Yes, we know," she tells E! "He called us and told us all about it. We are happy for him. If that is what he wants then we are happy for him."
Linda Cannon wouldn't confirm an earlier report that had the impromptu nuptials taking place yesterday at Carey's new home in the Bahamas, only that Nick and his platinum-selling girlfriend have made it official.
I'm not going to give you any details, but we are happy for him."
Earlier today, a rep for jeweler Jacob & Co. confirmed that Cannon shelled out $2.5 million for the 17-carat finger candy spotted recently on Carey's left hand.
This is the second trip down the aisle for Carey, 39. She split from recording industry honcho Tommy Mottola in 1998 after five years of marriage.
Cannon, 27, was previously engaged to model Selita Ebanks, but this is his first time taking the plunge

I WISH THEM THE BEST!!!!.......people have a concern the fact Mariah Carey is older than Nick Cannon....because if it was about age, u wouldn't see some older man including celebs that act stupid, get arrested for drugs and drinking.....where is their sense of responsibility and maturity? Age doesn't determine maturity, but rather experience in life does!
If they really love each other, then they must preserve that....and be able to keep marriage life separated from media life-their careers.
