Mariah Carey has confirmed she is married, and says she and her new husband have received matching tattoos to mark the occasion.

The Touch My Body singer admits she has never been happier since tying the knot with rapper Nick Cannon on April 30.

Mariah, who met Nick while shooting the video for her new single Bye Bye six weeks ago - told People magazine: "We really do feel we are soulmates. I never felt a love like this was in the cards for me."

The US magazine has exclusive photos of Mariah, 38, and Nick, 27, marrying at sunset on her Bahamas estate.

The pop superstar wore a traditional white gown and veil, while Nick complemented her outfit in a smart white suit and tie.

He praised his new wife, saying: "She is beautiful on the outside and 10 times as beautiful on the inside."

It has also been revealed the couple received matching tattoos to celebrate their love for each other.

Mariah and Nick aren't the only celebrity couple to get married in secret.

Last month, Beyonce Knowles and Jay-Z tied the knot at his New York apartment in front of friends and family.
