New Delhi, Oct 2 (ANI): Mariah Carey’s husband Nick Cannon has revealed how the couple keep the romance alive in their relationship-”lots of phone sex”.

The actor-and-rapper, who married the ‘Hero’ singer in 2008, uses lusty long distance conversations to keep spark alive when their work sends them to separate cities.

According to the China Daily, when asked how he and Mariah coped with being apart, Nick said: “There’s lots of phone sex! And when I get home, we have a big party!”

The 28-year-old star also revealed he and Mariah, 40, are planning to have a baby in the near future.

He said: “We definitely want a family. It’s at the forefront of our minds.”

Mariah added: “Of course, we’d be happy with one. I want to be able to manage the right amount of attention. We are so busy - if you have six kids running around, no one gets what they need. Kids need a lot of attention.”

If they can’t conceive naturally, the couple would “definitely” consider adoption.

Nick explained: “It’s never out of the question. I was raised by my grandmother, who was also a foster mom, so I grew up around a lot of kids,” she said. (ANI)
