Mariah Carey<\/strong> sidestepped a question about co-parenting her 14-year-old twins, Monroe<\/strong> and Moroccan<\/strong>, with ex-husband Nick Cannon<\/strong> during a recent television appearance.<\/p>\n In an interview with Gayle King<\/strong> on CBS Mornings<\/em><\/a>, which aired on Thursday, September 24, King asked Carey how she navigates parenting when Cannon\u2019s personal life is so public. Carey, 56, paused before answering.<\/p>\n \u201cHmmm,\u201d she said, keeping her response brief. \u201cI kinda feel like it\u2019s best if I don\u2019t talk about him because he can just be in his own world.\u201d<\/p>\n The Grammy winner<\/a> quickly added, \u201cNo offense to him.\u201d<\/p>\n The moment went viral almost instantly, with fans weighing in on social media. \u201cWe all embarrassed by our baby daddy chile \ud83d\ude02,\u201d one Instagram<\/a> user joked.<\/p>\n Another wrote, \u201cNot \u2018be in his own world\u2019 homegirl said we not in the same timeline \ud83d\ude2d.\u201d<\/p>\n Others defended Carey\u2019s choice to keep her comments limited, with one noting, \u201cShe doesn\u2019t want this serial baby daddy tied to her brand.\u201d<\/p>\n Carey and Cannon, 44, finalized their divorce in November 2016. Since then, Cannon has become a father to 10 more children<\/a> with five different women.<\/p>\n The Masked Singer<\/em> host recently admitted on The Breakfast Club<\/em><\/a> that his decision to expand his family so quickly was a \u201ctrauma response\u201d<\/a> to his divorce from Carey. \u201cIf I would have did the work [and] the healing after getting divorced, I probably would have took my time in a lot other scenarios,\u201d Cannon said. He called his choices \u201ccareless\u201d and \u201cfrivolous.\u201d<\/p>\n Cannon shares three children with Brittany Bell<\/strong> \u2014 Golden<\/strong>, 8, Powerful<\/strong>, 4, and Rise<\/strong>, 2 \u2014 along with twins Zion<\/strong> and Zillion<\/strong>, 4, and daughter Beautiful<\/strong>, 2, with Abby De La Rosa<\/strong>. He is also the father of daughter Onyx<\/strong>, 3, with Lanisha Cole<\/strong>, son Legendary<\/strong>, 3, with Bre Tiesi<\/strong>, and daughter Halo<\/strong>, 2, with Alyssa Scott<\/strong>. Cannon and Scott\u2019s first child together, son Zen<\/strong>, died in December 2021.<\/p>\n Cannon acknowledged that while he had the money and freedom to live as he wanted, he now sees the impact of his decisions. \u201cFor whatever reason, I thought that was the answer a lot of times,\u201d he said. \u201cNow, you\u2019re leaving trauma every step of the way instead of fixing it from its origin.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/staging.starmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/MEGA192964_045-scaled.jpg\")
