Mariah Carey's husband has bought her a $1.5 million ski chalet. Nick Cannon - who married the "Touch My Body" singer in April - splashed out on the five-bedroom property in Aspen, Colorado, as an early Christmas present for the 38-year-old star.

A source told Britain's Daily Mirror newspaper: "Nick is clearly still in the honeymoon phase. He's shocked all their pals by going out of his way to nab Mariah this beautiful sanctuary."

"He doesn't want her to go to the hassle of renting. He knows Aspen is one of her favorite places in the world so this is his early Christmas present to her."

Nick, 28, has also reportedly purchased Mariah a diamond ring for each room of the chalet.

Earlier this year, the couple bought a lavish $5 million home in the West Indies - which boasts five bedrooms, a Jacuzzi and an indoor swimming pool - to enjoy a second honeymoon.

They are reported to be considering buying another property in Monte Carlo.
