Nick Cannon gave Mariah Carey a diamond bracelet for her birthday.
The 'America's Got Talent' presenter surprised his wife with an expensive-looking cuff decorated with sparkling butterflies to celebrate her 44th birthday yesterday (27.03.14)
She took to Twitter to write: "Nick surprised me for 3/27 with a stellar diamond bracelet encrusted with 3 floating butterflies!"
The singer and her doting husband are seen grinning ear-to-ear as she shows off her new jewellery in the accompanying photo.
Mariah was clearly delighted with the special gift and was thrilled to be having "family time" with Nick and their two-year-old twins Moroccan and Monroe together.
She added: "I'm just happy he's here!!!! #familytime #festivity @NickCannon."
The 'Honey' singer marked the occasion at the 10th anniversary of the opening of the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Tampa, Florida, where she tucked into a giant cake and Disney-themed sweet treats.
Butterflies have a special symbolic meaning to Mariah, whose sixth studio album was named after her personal ballad 'Butterfly', which is about the end of her marriage to her reportedly controlling ex-husband, Tommy Mottola.

She wrote: "Hi everyone! I'm busy studying at @FIDM but I want to say I love you to my fans!"
She also shared a self-portrait she had drawn, and the insider said that was just a hint of the talent she is showing.
The source said: "Amanda's really talented at what she does so the picture is the real deal. She's only just beginning."

L'Wren Scott's ashes have been divided between Sir Mick Jagger and her family.
The late fashion designer - who was found dead in an apparent suicide in her New York apartment earlier this month - was cremated after a funeral service in Los Angeles on Tuesday (25.03.14) and part of her remains will now be taken to Utah and laid to rest close to her parents.
Her brother Randall Bambrough said: "She was cremated and I have some of her ashe.
"Some of those ashes, they will be buried near our parents here in Utah. And there will be a ceremony, date to be determined, in Utah for all family members who will have an opportunity to see their friends and others."
Randall is unsure what the Rolling Stones frontman - who was in a relationship with L'Wren for 13 years until her death - plans to do with the rest of his sister's ashes.
He told the New York Daily News newspaper: "They're with the Jagger family. That's all I can say."
Though L'Wren's estranged sister Jan Shane slammed her funeral, insisting it should have taken place in Utah, and criticised Mick, 70, for taking over the plans, her brother insisted the memorial was in keeping with the designer's wishes as she wanted the 'Brown Sugar' star to take charge.

Shia LaBeouf's uncle has filed an appeal against an order to repay the actor for an $800,000 loan.
Barry Saide was ordered to give back the full amount, plus nine percent interest, in a court case last month after the judge heard he and his famous nephew initially agreed the money, which was handed over in 2009, would be returned in 15 installments of $53,333.
Barry - who never paid any installments - is now asking the judge to reconsider the ruling and wants to pay back in an alternative to money.
Documents filed on Wednesday (26.03.14) and obtained by RadarOnline.com state: "The alleged Promissory Installment Note is not an unconditional promise to pay which may form the basis for a motion for summary judgement in lieu of complaint... By its terms, the alleged Promissory Installment Note provides specifically that there I an alternative to the payment of money only."
Barry claims the judge made an incorrect ruling because he didn't pay attention to a part of his original agreement with the 'Nymphomaniac' star which stated he could repay the loan with personal property, and pointed to his original argument in which he stated he transferred interest in four companies in lieu of cash.
No ruling has been made yet on the appeal.
When the lawsuit was filed last August, Barry expressed surprise about the 27-year-old actor's actions insisting he wouldn't have borrowed anything if he thought this would happen.
In an affidavit, he reportedly said: "Had I thought that Shayne and Shia would take this extraordinary step and seek to impoverish me, I never would have borrowed a dollar from Shia."
Barry also insisted he spent money looking after the Hollywood hunk and his mother Shayne before his rise to stardom.

Beyoncé broke down in tears during her final 'Mrs. Carter Show World Tour' performance.
The 32-year-old superstar - who has two-year-old daughter Blue Ivy with husband Jay Z - bid farewell to her fans during her last show in Portuguese capital Lisbon on Thursday night (27.03.14), and was overcome with emotion as she thanked them for supporting her during her gruelling 132-date tour.
She told the cheering crowd: "This has been an incredible tour ... If you all don't know, tonight makes 132 shows. Tonight is the last show of the 'Mrs. Carter Show'.
"We started a year ago. And I want to say, this has been such a journey. In the past year, we've been so much together - the Super Bowl, shooting the videos, all of these shows. When I first started the tour, my baby [Blue Ivy] was not even walking yet."
The 'Drunk In Love' singer then began welling up, choking back sobs as she bade her final goodbyes to the crowd.
She stammered: "I just want you to know that I am so lucky. I'm giving y'all an ugly cry! Thank y'all again. Thank you for allowing me to have a career. When I fall, you lift me up. When I'm hungry, you feed me. And I just want to give you my light. I dedicate this song to you guys."
Beyoncé kicked off her tour in April 2013 and has performed across North America, South America, Australia, Asia and Europe, raking in an estimated $53 million.

Gwyneth Paltrow has thanked fans for their support following her marriage split.
The 'Iron Man 3' actress and husband Chris Martin used her Goop website this week to announce they were separating after 10 years of marriage and now the blonde beauty - who has children Apple, nine, and Moses, seven, with the Coldplay singer - has used the online newsletter to express "deep gratitude" for the well-wishes they have received.
She wrote: "CM and I in deep gratitude for the support of so many."
The message also included a small love heart symbol.
Announcing their separation this week, the couple revealed they had worked on their marriage for "over a year" before deciding to part.
In a post titled "Conscious Uncoupling," the former couple wrote: "It is with hearts full of sadness that we have decided to separate.
"We have been working hard for well over a year, some of it together, some of it separated, to see what might have been possible between us, and we have come to the conclusion that while we love each other very much we will remain separate.
"We are, however, and always will be a family, and in many ways we are closer than we have ever been."
Appealing for privacy because they are "parents first and foremost," they added: "We have always conducted our relationship privately, and we hope that as we consciously uncouple and co-parent, we will be able to continue in the same manner. Love, Gwyneth & Chris."

Kanye West helped decide what Kim Kardashian would wear for their Vogue shoot.
The 'Bound 2' hitmaker - who famously overhauled the reality TV star's wardrobe months after they started dating in 2012 - advised on his fiancee's make-up and outfits, but in an "encouraging", rather than critical way.
Make-up artist Aaron de Mey, who worked on the shoot, said: "He thought that her make-up looked very beautiful, but definitely had opinions on the dresses and the styles he liked best, but it was in a supportive way -- it was lovely to see them interact with each other."
Kim - who wore a series of bridal-style gowns in the shoot for the iconic publication - and Kanye were also photographed with their nine-month-old daughter North, and Aaron wanted the 'Keeping Up with the Kardashians' star to seem "realistic" in the family pictures, so kept her make-up fairly simple.
He explained to Cosmopolitan.com: "She was very open to something different, but Grace [Coddington] wanted to simplify her look because Kim is naturally gorgeous.
"Grace also had couture dresses made for her that were very sophisticated and ladylike, so we wanted to keep her look fresh and young -- almost like a twist on the style. Plus, she had the baby and Kanye with her in the pictures, so I wanted her to look realistic and not too untouchable."

Alexandra Burke is to make her West End theatre debut.
The 'Bad Boys' hitmaker - who shot to fame after winning 'The X Factor' in 2008 - will replace Beverley Knight in the lead role in 'The Bodyguard' from June 2.
The 25-year-old singer is a huge fan of the late Whitney Houston, who played Rachel Marron in the original 1992 movie, and is delighted to be following in her footsteps.
She said: "I couldn't be more excited about joining the cast of The Bodyguard and to play the iconic role of Rachel Marron will be a dream come true.
"I am a massive Whitney Houston fan so to be given the opportunity to play a role made famous by her every night will be a real privilege. I start rehearsals very soon with my fellow cast mates and the brilliant creative team and, with a little trepidation, I am looking forward to our first performance in June."
Alexandra was approached by producers Ian and Michael Harrison about joining the production until the end of its run on August 30 after they learned Beverley was to leave to join 'Memphis'.
Ian told the Daily Mail newspaper: "We saw her, and our creative team met her, and she was fabulous and knocked the songs out of the park."
Tristan Gemill will continue in his role as Rachel's bodyguard Frank Farmer.
The show debuted in London in 2012, and ahead of its opening Alexandra was touted as the favourite to take on the lead role.
A source said three years ago: "Alexandra is torn - the show would be an amazing gig and especially in London while the Olympics are on and it's in the spotlight. But she also has her second album to think about."

Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin are planning to live together in Malibu.
The former couple - who announced they were separating after 10 years of marriage earlier this week - splashed out on a $14 million beach house shortly before confirming their split, and though it had been speculated it had been bought as a bachelor pad for the Coldplay frontman, insiders say they will share the property.
According to the New York Post newspaper, the house includes "two totally separate" living spaces so they are both able to stay close to their children Apple, nine, and Moses, seven.
It had been speculated the 'Fix You' star would live alone in the Californian property because it was bought by a special trust.
A property insider said: "For this property a new trust was created, called Magical Kingdom Land (trust), which signalled something definitely changed between the pair.
"Everything else they have owned together, including homes in London and New York, was bought under Orchard House LLC. It appears that the trust used was different to the firm that Gwyneth is known to be associated with."
Announcing their separation, Chris and Gwyneth said they were "closer" than ever and would always put their family first.
They said: "We are, however, and always will be a family, and in many ways we are closer than we have ever been."
