The pressure is piling on Mariah Carey to confirm her romance with actor Nick Cannon, after they played a cat-and-mouse game at the Tribeca Film Festival to avoid being spotted together.

Both stars had movies premiering at the event on Saturday night - Cannon's basketball film Ball Don't Lie and Carey's Tennessee.

The pair embarked on a clever game of hide-and-seek and managed to avoid the prying eyes of the press and paparazzi, shying away in a VIP section.

The pair are rumoured to have got together after Cannon appeared in a video for Carey's new album E=MC2.

They have since been spotted together partying in Las Vegas and are reported to be travelling to the Cannes Film Festival next month.

Carey's exes include record boss Tommy Mottola, rapper Eminem and singer Luis Miguel. Cannon was last known to be dating actress Zulay Henao, after breaking off his engagement to model Selita Ebanks. - Wenn
