It's a singer instead of an actor! Or is it? Legendary pop diva Mariah Carey does have acting credits to her name, so we'll leave it for you to decide whether she bucks the trend or not. During her first marriage to music executive Thomas Mottola there was no sign of children on the horizon, so parenthood appeared to be just a sweet, sweet fantasy for Carey until her second marriage to Nick Cannon in 2008.
That union was followed by the birth of twins, Moroccan and Monroe, in 2011. Reports actually differ on which year Carey was born in, so depending on who you believe, she was either 42 or 43 when she became a mother. She was undergoing fertility treatment at the time, but her personal feeling is that a holistic acupuncture therapy course she was going through was actually what made the difference with their efforts to conceive.
