Nick Cannon has high aspirations for his children with wife Mariah Carey - he wants them to be doctors and astronauts.

The couple recently celebrated its first wedding anniversary, and both Carey and Cannon have revealed they're now making family plans.

But the actor/TV presenter insists they won't be encouraging their offspring to follow in their famous footsteps.

Cannon tells People magazine, "I'm not going to be one of those stage daddies who says, 'Get out there and sing.' I want to raise some doctors and astronauts."

The pair married in April 2008 after a whirlwind romance and the singer has revealed her desire to start a family.

Before meeting Carey singer Cannon dated Christina Milian and Kim Kardashian as well as being engaged to Selita Ebanks.
