Even though it’s been a a year and a half since their wedding, Mariah Carey and her husband like to keep in constant contact. It’s been revealed that the two use lusty long distance conversations to keep the romance alive when their work sends them to separate cities.

Asked how he and Mariah coped with being apart, actor/rapper Nick Cannon 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. “We definitely want a family. It’s at the forefront of our minds,” Cannon claimed.

“Of course, we’d be happy with one. I want to be able to manage the right amount of attention,” Mariah added. “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. “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,” Nick explained.
