The singer/actress — who won acclaim for her work in Precious – abruptly dropped out of her next project — a role in Tyler Perry’s For Colored Girls Who Have Considered Suicide When the Rainbow Is Enuf — on Tuesday.
Carey’s rep said that the star is “not doing the movie because her doctor advised her not to.”
Sources close to Mariah are adamant the star wouldn’t have quit the project unless she was with child.
“It would certainly explain her decision to drop out of the movie,” a mole blabbed to the New York Daily News newspaper.
“It was a golden opportunity. She’d have been working with Whoopi Goldberg, Janet Jackson, Phylicia Rashad and Loretta Devine — and she already made magic with [director] Tyler Perry once before.
“She’s finally being taken seriously as an actress. I’m sure she wanted to keep the momentum going, so she would have to have a really good reason, like a pregnancy, to give up this movie.”
Mariah’s husband, singer/actor Nick Cannon, has previously spoken of his desire to start a family with the We Belong Together hitmaker.
“We absolutely plan to have a family,” he said earlier this year. “But we gotta prioritize, because that’s a major, major priority.
“That’s like the only priority in life, when you think about it, is starting and raising a family. We want to make sure everything is out of the way and that we don’t have any distractions.
“She’s on tour right now, I’m doing a bunch of stuff, so eventually we want to be able to say it’s time to have a kid, and set everything up.
“But we’re definitely moving toward.”
Mariah revealed last year that she and Nick have “discussed” having kids.
“We’ve definitely discussed it,” she said in November. “The only thing is that at this particular moment, it’s almost Christmas. He’s doing his work and I’m promoting and doing all this stuff. Right now is not the moment.
“My parents were divorced and it’s not like, ‘Oh, woe is me!’ A lot of people’s parents are divorced but I would just like to have a nice, normal life for that moment.”
