Mariay Carey said she is no sure that new husband Nick Cannon is her soulmate, because he reminds her of her mother, Patricia .

The 38-year-old singer tells Fashion Rocks magazine that like her mother, Nick can make any situation a good one with his upbeat attitude.

She says,“when I was a kid there was an ice storm in the suburbs… We went to Manhattan to stay with a friend of my mom’s. There was nobody on the road. It was this moment that could’ve been scary for a kid, but she made it festive. That’s what Nick is like. He takes the hard part of a situation and makes it celebratory.”
