Legendary singer Mariah Carey can hardly believe she’s the mother of two teenagers.
But, she says, her journey as the mother of girl-boy twins Monroe and Moroccan Scott has been worth it.
“I love them so much,” she told E! News in the summer of 2024. “They’re really good kids. You know what I mean? I don’t think that they’re bad or evil in any way like I was. They’re really good kids and they’re very smart and they’re funny — and, you know, I’m the mommy.”
Carey was 41 when she gave birth to Monroe and Moroccan Scott, twins that she affectionately called “.”
The twins were born on April 30, 2011, the third anniversary of her marriage to , the babies’ father.
“My wife just gave me the most incredible anniversary gift ever in life!,” Cannon , “I won’t ever be able to top this!” Carey and Cannon were married from 2008 to 2016, per .
“Roc” and “Roe,” as their parents nicknamed them, have been in and out of the spotlight their whole lives.
When they were 3, Cannon released a children’s picture book called “.” The following year, they joined mom on stage at the Hollywood Bowl to sing “Always Be My Baby.”
Even though the world shut down for the Covid-19 pandemic in 2020, Carey made sure they still had a ninth birthday to remember when she threw them , “Access Hollywood” reports.
At 10, the twins in Carey’s music video for “Fall in Love at Christmas,” and they again with their mom the following year when Carey sang “All I Want for Christmas is You” during the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade.
The trio seems to have a lot of fun in more private moments, too. Like in this shared in 2021: the three love to warm up in their outdoor hot tub and then roll around in the snow.
Although Carey and Cannon are no longer married, they share time with their kids, and even poke fun at one another. In , Roc and Roe danced to Carey’s 2008 hit song “Touch My Body” along with their dad.
Monroe Cannon
Monroe, who goes by “Roe,” shares more than just looks with her mom — she seems to be playing around with the idea of a performing career.
She made her at age 10, portraying a younger version of her mom.
Roe joined mom on tour in 2022 to sing “.” And she is good!
Moroccan Scott Cannon
Moroccan, who goes by “Roc,” tends to keep a lower profile than his sister, but there was that time and was adorably excited to show his mom. And that time when he and mom lip synced to her song, “It’s a Wrap.”
“Rocky is like a freaking comedian,” Carey told “” in 2020.
The newest additions to the family
Carey’s family expanded by two in 2023.
