A very pregnant Mariah Carey has bared all in a photo shoot with US magazine Life & Style just weeks before she is set to have her twins.
The 42-year-old singer appears on the magazine’s cover looking confident and proud of her bump, but during the magazine interview she said it was wasn’t a decision she made lightly.
“I was feeling very vulnerable about taking pictures at all right now, but then I didn’t want to miss this opportunity to document this once-in-a-lifetime experience,” she told the magazine.
“My ultimate goal was to share this incredibly personal moment with my true fans.”
At eight months pregnant, Mariah is now awaiting the arrival of her first children, a boy and a girl, with husband Nick Cannon who has told the magazine he has never been so attracted to his wife.
“I thought I couldn’t love Mariah more,” he said. “But I have a whole new appreciation and admiration for her.”
Despite a minor complication last week, which saw Mariah rushed to hospital with early contractions, the pair are reportedly loving life while waiting to meet their two children, who they say are ready for a life in the spotlight.
“The babies were kicking almost the entire time; it was unbelievable,” she said.
“Especially the girl — clearly she’s a diva in training. We didn’t start shooting until 1.30am because I was in the hospital from the night before until the day of the shoot with contractions five minutes apart!”
