The stunning Mariah Careyhas been in show business for decades.
Carey shares twins, Moroccan and Monroe Cannon, with her ex-husband, Nick Cannon.
And the singer is just as obsessed with them at 13 years old as she was at their birth.
Take a look at how fast Moroccan and Monroe have grown up.
Pregnancy wasn’t particularly easy for Carey, either.
As the Grammy winner shared, her body went through a lot while carrying her children.
The result was worth the struggles, though.
The couple showed their children to the world for the first time on the “20/20” interview.
The twins were 3 when Nick and Carey separated and 5 by the time they officially divorced.
Looking back at their marriage, Carey believed that she and Nick could’ve remained married.
We both wanted to see to it everything was cool for our family.
We will always be family, and we make it work," she added.
Nick and Carey’s finalized divorce brought with it a finalized custody agreement.
“There’s no hard feelings and ill will.
Monroe Cannon has had modeling opportunities
Monroe and Moroccan have had practice modeling at home, too.
But Carey assured fans it was all in good fun.
“No kids were harmed in the making of this video,” she quipped in thevideo’s caption.
“We sing together sometimes,” Carey said to the crowd ahead of their performance (viaYouTube).
Monroe also joined her mother in 2023 for her Christmas performance at the Hollywood Bowl.
The duo sang Carey’s original Christmas song “Jesus Born On This Day.”
It seems that Monroe is already envisioning a future in the arts.
“I think that’d be amazing.”
She’s like, ‘No, I want to go to college first and major in the arts.’
It’s like, ‘All right, that’s dope.'”
It seems that Monroe and Moroccan Cannon are an even mix.
For example, their parents have said that they both love to be in the spotlight.
“They love attention.
They love performing,” Nick Cannon said about his twins in an interview withE!
“My son is fascinated with cameras and directing and making little movies,” Nick added about Moroccan.
The parents have also praised Moroccan for his sense of humor.
“He’s hilarious …
He has no filter, let’s put it that way.”
Moroccan’s other interests are wide-ranging.
As teenagers, both kids have kept an interest in staying active.
“They’re both really enjoying activities and sports and all of that.”
Morroccan is musical, too
Unsurprisingly, Moroccan Cannon is musically gifted, too.
Carey even left the stage for a moment to let the twins have their own spotlight.
And while Carey thinks her children are talented, she also admires their work ethic.
“I’m not forcing them to do anything…
If Moroccan or Monroe wants to pursue a career in entertainment, Carey will be supportive.
Carey’s kids, Moroccan and Monroe Cannon, are clearly fans of the dogs, too.
Carey and her kids are open to welcoming new animal additions to their family, too.
“Summer prolonged… even though I try, I can’t let go!
Introducing the new adopted family members: Nacho & Rocky Jr.,” Carey said onX, formerly Twitter.
Per the photo, Moroccan and Monroe seemed smitten with their new kittens.
The twins are well-traveled
Mariah Carey takes her kids with her around the globe.
Carey is also sure to get away on vacation with Moroccan and Monroe.
Monroe and Moroccan’s travels have given them the chance to find inspiration.
In 2019, Carey shared a photo of herself and Monroe with the pilots on one of their flights.
“Our flight has two females pilots, this is a first for us and so exciting!
Had to document the moment with Miss Monroe,” Carey said onInstagramof the experience.
While it seems that the twins spend more time with Carey, they are still close with their father.
“One ‘cause I’m constantly working and two because I’m just spread thin.”
“My daughter, really, she’s so in tune and in line and wise beyond her years.
I got a lot of therapists, but she’s probably my best therapist.
She keeps me in check,” Nick said toPeopleabout his daughter in another interview.
“I’ve always loved it.
“I’m there to verify everybody has a great dinner.
That wasn’t the first time Carey and one of her children has met a president.
As Barack Obama was president at the time, Carey and Monroe got to meet him.
Per reports, Moroccan stayed home with his and Monroe’s father, Nick Cannon.
