Mariah Carey expecting a boy?

Pop singer Mariah Carey is reportedly expecting a baby boy with husband Nick Cannon and is set to reveal further details on her pregnancy in the coming weeks.

Despite months of speculation, the 'Touch My Body' hitmaker is yet to confirm she is pregnant, but sources claim that she is having a son and her superstitious nature has prevented her from revealing anything yet, reported Contactmusic.

"She's having a boy, but the reason that Mariah didn't want to say anything is because she is 40, and she's superstitious. But she's going to appear on 'Oprah' and 'The View', so she's planning on making the announcement soon," said a source.

Carey stopped drinking alcohol earlier this year and gained weight due to undergoing fertility treatment with the hope of having a child.

“The fertility drugs were the reason for her weight gain earlier this year. She stopped drinking back in March or April," the source added.
