'Prepping!' Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon help the twins prepare pecan pie for Thanksgiving in their stunning Manhattan apartment

They've recently had to brush off rumours that they're living increasingly separate lives.
And Mariah Carey, 42, and her 33-year-old husband Nick Cannon couldn't have looked closer in a snap she shared on the eve of Thanksgiving via her Instagram account.
The couple posed in front of a stunning Manhattan vista with their two-year-old twins Moroccan and Monroe and a big bowl of pecans.

'Family prepping time!' Mariah Carey shared this gorgeous picture of her with her family as they got set making a pecan pie for Thanksgiving on Wednesday night

The diva hashtagged the picture with the words: 'Family prepping time! Pecan pie, Thanksgiving' and linked it to her husband's account.
  Mariah and Nick may have been early contenders for cutest Thanksgiving share, but Fergie and Josh Duhamel certainly came up with something more creative.
Duhamel shared a cartoon snap featuring him, his wife, their new baby Axl and the family dog with their heads over drawings of the Village People with the tagline: 'From our village to yours!'

Of course, Carey and Cannon's picture was more loaded and last week they sent a not-so-subtle message on Twitter after estrangement rumours surfaced.
This time Cannon uploaded a lovey dovey picture.
With his arms wrapped tightly around her waist as Carey is draped around his neck, Cannon captioned the telling black and white photo, '#WCW,' which stands for 'Woman Crush Wednesday.'

The blunt message from the couple who have been married for five-and-a-half years, came after speculation by RadarOnline.com that the Me Sexy singer was putting his career over his wife.
Mariah did not attend the 2013 TeenNick Halo Awards on Sunday with her spouse, and Radar claims that their once-hot love affair has turned into a long distance relationship, with 107 days elapsed since the couple were last photographed together.
Carey admitted to the strain during a recent interview with Hot 97 in NYC, saying that the couple’s first year of marriage in 2008, 'was the easiest... And then (in 2009) he started doing America’s Got Talent so he just works constantly.'

The show is based in LA - where Nick spends most of his time - but Glitter star Carey has been increasingly spending her time in New York City.
'I like to work at home in my little studio,' she explained. 'The house in L.A... I mean, he loves L.A.'
Where ever they are physically located, home is always where the heart is, and Cannon proved his heart is with his wife and children.
Showing that there is room for two women in his life, the proud father posted a photo of Mariah holding Monroe on his Twitter, again with the caption: '#WCW.'

Affectionately nicknamed, 'Dem babies,' the fraternal twins were born in April 2011 on the musical couple's third wedding anniversary.
Last May, the romantic pair celebrated both the children's second birthdays, and their fifth wedding anniversary by shutting down Disneyland to renew their vows in a lavish fairytale-themed ceremony in front of the Magic Kingdom.
The Touch My Body singer was transformed into a princess for her trip to the say 'I do' yet again, before arriving in a pumpkin-shaped horse drawn carriage for her waiting prince.

Carey recently revealed that she didn't feel like royalty during her time as a judge on American Idol, however, admitting that she 'hated' her job on the Fox show.
'I thought it was going to be a 3-person panel... but it wasn't that. It was like going to work every day in Hell with Satan,' she told interview on Hot 97.

'Satan' was her nod to fellow judge Nicki Minaj, with whom she had a high-profile running spat during their time on the talent show.
