Mariah took to the stage for a concert in Brazil last week showing off her ballooning figure in a giant black ballgown, with a skirt big enough to hide a blossoming baby bump.

And just yesterday, the star stepped out in a loose fitting maxi dress from maternity clothing company, Pea in a Pod, teaming it with a figure-swamping chunky knit cardigan.

Reports suggest the star could be almost four months along, but the star and her hubby have been keeping mum on pregnancy claims.

Radio host Nick even made reference to the rumours on his show earlier this week, when he told listeners: ‘I’ve said it before and I’ll say it time and time again – when my wife feels like talking about whatever she wants to talk about, you will hear it directly from her.’

But despite remaining quiet on the subject, Mimi did post a mystic message to fans on Twitter, after her concert in Brazil last week. ‘Seriously,I really do love it here,beautiful people inside and out!,’ she wrote. ‘Tonite was tuff 4 me 4 personal reasons,but U got me thru!L4L’

Mariah has made no secret of wanting a family, and has gushed about the prospect ever since tying the knot to Nick just last year.

'Definitely, we want a family,’ she told American magazine In Touch last year. 'Yes, of course. It’s at the forefront of our minds.

'We’re very close. But we want to enjoy our first year together.
