MoroccanCannonandMonroe Cannonwill always beMariah Carey‘s babies.
That was made clear whenthe 15-year-old twins posed with the “Obsessed” singer in an adorable mirror selfie.
Moroccan shareda grainy Instagramsnap Sept. 9 of himself holding up three fingers alongside a smiling Carey—whose blonde locks fell in effortless waves over her white top—while Monroe took the photo. He captioned the post, “on a lark.”
For the Grammy winner—who shares Moroccan and Monroe with ex-husbandNick Cannon—watching her kids grow into their own has been more than asweet, sweetfantasy. And she will always be their biggest cheerleader.
“Rocky is a technical genius,” Mariah told E! News in December 2022. “He could do anything he wanted, and I will support him. He and Roe are both such creative geniuses”
And when they sing, it’s clear they belong together.”Honestly, their tone when they sing is so beautiful, and I’m so thankful that they inherited that from me,” she continued. “I can’t wait to see what and who they grow up to be!”

Although the twins—whohave an additional10 half-siblings on their dad’s side—are carving their own paths, Carey embraced them with open arms while they made a surprise appearance during her performance at the2022Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade.
“When they want to be involved and feel like it will be something fun, they show up, attend rehearsals, and get really into it,” she added. “It’s such a joy to be able to watch them when they’re fully engaged, relating to their other friends—many of which are aspiring singers or dancers who weren’t born into the entertainment world.”
Though she knows her kids have a leg up with two famous parents, the 57-year-old has always expected Moroccan and Monroe to give it their all when it comes to their future.
“I think it’s important that they learn these lessons because I grew up without that privilege and they need to understand that it is so important to try your hardest and do your best,” she added. “It’s one of my greatest honors to watch them shine.”
