The couple had this to say on the US morning show, Access Hollywood.

Carey, 41 reveal that the couple had miscarried two years ago soon after tying the knot in 2008.

"It kind of shook us both and took us into a place that was really dark and difficult," she said. "When that happened ... I wasn't able to even talk to anybody about it. That was not easy."

Cannon, 30, added, "Her strength would literally be during the day so festive and smiling, literally that night crying herself to sleep ... definitely brought us closer together. It strengthened our relationship so much ... She handled it so well."

No word on the sex of the baby, although Carey did hint of a possible spring birth.

Congratulations!
