Superstar Mariah Carey, known for her timeless hits and impressive career, recently took to social media to celebrate a significant milestone in her life. On September 10, the iconic singer, who has enchanted audiences for decades, shared a delightful photo booth collage featuring her fraternal twins, Moroccan Scott and Monroe Cannon. The twins, who were born in April 2011 during her marriage to ex-husband Nick Cannon, are now 15 years old, marking a transition into their teenage years. In the Instagram post, Carey lovingly captioned the images with the word "Twinning 💕," showcasing her close bond with her children.
The photos, captured at Arte Museum, reveal the trio in a series of fun poses, from peace signs to playful expressions. Fans were quick to respond, with one commenting, "Twins? I see triplets here 😍✨🥰," while another proudly referred to the family dynamic, saying, "That’s our royal family, MC and Dem Kids! ❤️" The sentiment continued with a playful nod to their ages, remarking, "Dem babies are now dem teens." On her Instagram Stories, Carey further embraced the moment by reposting a carousel shared by Moroccan, affectionately dubbing her children "Dem Babies!"—a term of endearment that has followed them since before their birth.
Carey Reflects on Motherhood and Co-Parenting
In an exclusive interview with PEOPLE in October 2023, Carey opened up about her feelings regarding her children growing up. With a hint of laughter, she expressed her desire for time to slow down, stating, "Don’t rush all of our lives. They’re still 12." Despite this sentiment, she also acknowledged the beauty of watching Moroccan and Monroe mature, describing them as "good, nice kids" with kind hearts. Carey relishes the opportunity to witness their growth into the individuals they are destined to become.
Additionally, Carey shared insights into her co-parenting relationship with Nick Cannon, emphasizing the importance of maintaining a friendship for the sake of their children. Reflecting on their approach, she noted, "I think Nick and I have done pretty well in co-parenting, staying friends with each other so that we can talk." The singer has also made it a point to instill values of gratitude and humility in her children, drawing from her own modest beginnings. She recalled her efforts to ensure they understand the value of hard work and appreciation, contrasting their current desires with her own childhood experiences of financial limitations.
As Carey continues to navigate the complexities of motherhood and her career, she remains committed to fostering a nurturing environment for her twins, ensuring they grow up grounded and aware of their privileges in life.
