Mariah Carey’s Daughter Monroe Makes Rare Comment About Her Siblings
The 14-year-old took to social media to clear up the dynamics between herself, her twin brother, and her half-siblings in a since-deleted post. Her remarks sparked buzz online.
Mariah Carey's daughter, Monroe Cannon, made rare comments about her siblings in a since-deleted Instagram Stories post on Thursday, November 13. The 14-year-old was explaining the dynamics of her blended family.
"Clearing something up guys," she wrote. "I only have ONE brother who is @moroccan.cannon. i do have other half siblings from my dad but they are all many many years younger than me! [sic]"
The post went viral, and while many interpreted the message as the young teen revealing a degree of estrangement from her half siblings, others likened her matter-of-factness to that of her mother's.
"She is her mothers daughter😂 she said let me clear this up for yall," one person wrote. "She's definitely her mother's daughter 😂," another echoed. "Shady like her mom lol," a third quipped.
Mariah shares Monroe and her twin brother, Moroccan Cannon, with her ex-husband, Nick Cannon. After the former couple divorced in 2016, Nick went on to father ten more children with five former partners.
The "Drumline" star shares sons Golden Sagon and Rise Messiah, and daughter Powerful Queen with Brittany Bell; twin sons Zion and Zillion and daughter Beautiful Zeppelin with Abby De La Rosa; son Legendary with Bre Tiesi; and daughter Onyx with LaNisha Cole.
He also welcomed two kids with model Alyssa Scott: son Zen, who died at five months old in December 2021 after being diagnosed with brain cancer, and daughter Halo Marie. Nick has previously credited his eldest daughter with helping him through difficult times.
"My daughter, really, she's so in tune and in line and wise beyond her years," he told People in 2021, shortly after his son, Zen, passed away. "I got a lot of therapists, but she's probably my best therapist."
"She keeps me in check," he continued. "She's so pure and so honest. To be 10, she asks some really strong and powerful questions. Really, just it's all out of love. She's my oldest child. Even though they're twins, she came out first and she lets everybody know it. She's helped me keep it strong."
Earlier this year, the "Wild 'n Out" host admitted that welcoming his children the way he did was a "trauma response" following his divorce from Mariah during his appearance on the morning radio show, "The Breakfast Club."
"It wasn't like I was acting out. It was more of being careless, being frivolous with my process because I could do it, because I had the money [and] because I had the access to whoever and however I wanted to move," he said.
He continued, "Then, obviously, life happens as well, so it wasn't like 'Oh, I'm gonna go have 12 kids.' It was more about like, 'Yo, I'm gonna just live life and have fun and whatever happens happens. I can handle it.'"
"Being almost 45 now, I could sit back and like, yeah, if I would have thought the process through a little bit more and took time to actually do the inner work, things might have been a little different in certain scenarios," he added.
When asked if doing the inner work earlier would have resulted in him potentially not having 12 children, Cannon replied, "I don't know [...] because I've always said this: every child that I had was made out of love and there were strong relationships."
Still he acknowledged that had he done the healing work after divorcing Mariah, he would have taken more time to think his actions through.
