Rumours started that the pair are expecting more than one baby when Carey referred to her baby bump as 'they' in an interview and no denial was issued when reports claimed twins are on the way.
Asked about the twin rumour, Cannon said to E! News: 'It's a touchy issue, because you never want to speak on too much stuff too early, but my wife, at one time, she referred to her stomach as 'they' and that probably wasn't the wrong thing for her to do. That's all I'm going to say.'
Cannon's latest comments have now sparked reports that they may be expecting even more babies and triplets could be on the way.
The couple expect the baby in the spring.
